摘要

This study presents a machine learning-driven framework for performance prediction of ammonia-fueled intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-AP-SOFCs), integrating numerical simulation with advanced data-centric validation techniques. A comprehensive 2D axisymmetric model incorporating the Temkin-Pyzhev kinetic model for ammonia decomposition was developed, generating 1030 parametric simulations across six operational variables. Eleven machine learning algorithms were evaluated, with XGBoost demonstrating superior predictive accuracy for both power density (R2 = 0.999) and maximum temperature (R2 = 0.9999). Permutation importance analysis revealed inlet temperature as the dominant parameter (82.3 % contribution), followed by air velocity (14.4 %) and electrolyte porosity (2.7 %). Rigorous 5-fold cross-validation confirmed model generalizability, while Gaussian noise injection (±10 %) demonstrated robustness under experimental uncertainty (R2 > 0.87). The synergy of feature importance interpretation, noise resilience validation, and ensemble regularization mechanisms positions XGBoost as an optimal tool for SOFC digital twin development, enabling accurate performance prediction despite complex thermo-electrochemical couplings and real-world measurement variability.
