Design concept of co-ionic conducting solid oxide electrolyte for stable operation in a cell-imbalanced fuel cell stack

Journal Article Niaz, Atif Khan ; Kim, Young Je ; Virkar, Anil V. ; ... - Journal of Power Sources

A bilayer composite electrolyte comprising BaCe_0.85Y_0.15O_3-d (BCY15) – Gd_0.2Ce_0.8O_2-d (GDC20) at the anode side and BaZr_0.85Y_0.15O_3-d (BZY15) – Nd_0.1Ce_0.9O_2-d (NDC10) at the cathode side is designed for improving the stability of co-ionic conducting solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) in a cell imbalanced stack. Contrary to the single layer structured SOFCs, the bi-layer cell stably operates without electrode delamination under negative voltage conditions. We measure local internal p_O₂ values using embedded Pt probes. Based on these values, local electronic conduction is estimated in combination with four probe DC conductivity measurements. It is found that n-type conductivity (~10^–3 Scm^–1) and p-type conductivitymore »« less

Locally developed electronic conduction in a yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte for durable solid oxide fuel cells

Journal Article Son, Min Ji ; Kim, Min Woo ; Virkar, Anil V. ; ... - Electrochimica Acta

In the present work, anode supported solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) based on a YSZ single layer electrolyte with locally developed electronic conduction near the anode side is fabricated to improve the cell durability under negative voltage conditions. A ceria added Ni/YSZ anode functional layer is utilized and co-sintered with the YSZ electrolyte at 1460 °C. Cerium ions are diffused into a limited region of the YSZ layer (~6 μm), establishing a ceria doped YSZ region. We successfully demonstrate that this YSZ single layer cell can operate stably for ~100 h without anode/electrolyte interface delamination, even under a negative voltage.more »« less

Electronic conductivity measurement of yttria-stabilized zirconia solid electrolytes by a transient technique

Journal Article Zhang, Lei ; Zhu, Liangzhu ; Virkar, Anil V. - Journal of Power Sources

A new oxygen permeation technique is developed to measure the electronic conductivity of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ). The permeation cell is a YSZ disc with an embedded Pt probe and a cavity at the center. Two porous platinum electrodes are applied on the disc surfaces. By applying a small DC bias (0.03 V) across one surface electrode and the embedded probe, oxygen is pumped into the YSZ disc and stored in the cavity. In steady state, a stable Nernst potential is developed between the cavity and the outer surfaces. Here, the Nernst voltage is very close to the applied voltage sincemore »« less

Enhanced ceria solid-electrolyte fuel-cell development. Reduction of electronic conductivity permits use of a solid-ceria electrolyte in high-efficiency high-power-density fuel cells at temperatures compatible with metallic cell hardware. Final technical report

Technical Report Maricle, D L

The primary obstacle to the use of ceria as a high-power-density solid-oxide fuel-cell electrolyte has been a low-level electronic short. This develops under reducing (anode) conditions as a result of partial reduction of the CeO{sub 2} lattice. The result is a decrease in: (a) cell voltage, (b) useful external current, (c) efficiency, (d) power density. A dopant concept has been shown to lower the anode PO{sub 2} below which the short becomes detrimental (electrolytic domain boundary) by two orders of magnitude. Two dopants, A and B have been shown to be effective. The optimum dopant A level was shown tomore »« less
Enhanced ceria solid-electrolyte fuel-cell development. Reduction of electronic conductivity permits use of a solid ceria electrolyte in high-efficiency high-power-density fuel cells at temperatures compatible with metallic cell hardware. Quarterly interim report No. 5 for period ending September 1989

Technical Report Maricle, D L

The high operating temperature of zirconia based solid oxide fuel cells has been shown in many studies to have advantages for both space and terrestrial applications. The high heat rejection temperature minimizes radiator size and weight for high atmospheric and space applications. Mobile and stationary terrestrial applications take advantage of a cell temperature high enough to directly reform hydro-carbon fuels, achieving high efficiency and energy density. Government funded solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) efforts are concentrated on the monolithic and tubular cell designs employing zirconia as the oxide ion conduction membrane. Zirconia requires an operating temperature of 1000 C tomore »« less
