Abstract

The present work reports a systematic study on temperature-dependent local crystal structure, oxygen stoichiometry, and electrical/electrochemical properties of an oxygen-deficient Sr_0.9Y_0.1CoO_3-δ (SYC10) perovskite using variable-temperature neutron diffraction (VTND), thermal gravimetric analysis, and electrical/electrochemical methods, respectively. The VTND reveals that the crystal symmetry of SYC10 remains P4/mmm tetragonal up to 900 °C. The tetragonal symmetry reflects the net effects of temperature and oxygen stoichiometry on crystal symmetry. The observed p-type electronic conductivity behavior originates from the charge-ordering between the two distinctive Co-sites. The partial oxide-ion conductivity and diffusivity obtained from oxygen permeation measurements are 2.3 × 10^–2 S cm^–1 and 7.98 × 10–8 cm²/s at 800 °C in air, respectively. The electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction kinetics of the SYC10 cathode is primarily limited by the charge-transfer process at low temperatures (600–650 °C) and oxide-ion migration from the cathode into the electrolyte at high temperatures (700–800 °C).

Fundamentals of SrCoO_3-δ Based Oxygen Deficient Perovskites as Cathodes for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells

Other Yang, Tianrang

The local structure and oxygen stoichiometry in oxide systems have a profound impact on oxygen electrocatalysis encountered in metal-air batteries and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). However, this knowledge is often obtained under conditions different from the real working conditions of the material, resulting in misinterpretation and misunderstanding. This PhD dissertation aims to obtain the structure and oxygen-stoichiometry information of a class of perovskite oxides under their real working conditions in solid oxide fuel cells. Several perovskite oxides were selected for the study: Sr_0.9Y_0.1CoO_3-δ (SYC10), Sr_0.9Y_0.3CoO_3-δ (SYC30), SrCo_0.9Nb_0.1O_3-δ(SCN10) and SrCo_0.9Ta0.1O_3-δ (SCT10). The local crystal structure and oxygen stoichiometry of these materials were systematically characterized with in-situ neutron diffraction (ND). The oxygen stoichiometry was also measured by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and iodometric titration methods. To establish the correlation among structure, oxygen stoichiometry and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity, high temperature electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, oxygen permeation and single cell testing were also performed. In chapter 2, SYC10 is described to have a more symmetrical structure andmore »« less

Infiltrated Sr_0.9Y_0.1CoO_2.5+δ nanoparticles as a cathode material for solid oxide fuel cells operated at 450–650 °C

Journal Article Si, Fengzhan ; Shao, Lin ; Kang, Xiaomin ; ... - International Journal of Hydrogen Energy

Catalytically active cathode materials are highly desirable for the development of low-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (LT-SOFCs). In the present study, we report the performance of a high-loading Sr_0.9Y_0.1CoO_2.5+δ (SYC10) nanoparticles (NPs) as a catalytic cathode infiltrated in Ce_0.8Gd_0.2O_2-δ (GDC) backbones for LT-SOFCs and the use of a low-loading SYC10 NPs as a catalyst for promoting the performance of a commercial cathode. The loading and calcination temperature of SYC10 NPs were systematically optimized to achieve the lowest area-specific polarization resistance at ≤650 °C. A significant reduction in polarization resistance of commercial LSCF cathode by SYC NPs has also been demonstratedmore » at 650 °C.« less

Understanding Structure–Activity Relationships in Sr_1–xY_xCoO_3–δ through in Situ Neutron Diffraction and Electrochemical Measurements

Journal Article Yang, Tianrang ; Matthews, Allison H. ; Xu, Nansheng ; ... - ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces

In this study, we report a systematic study on temperature-dependent local structural evolution, oxygen stoichiometry, and electrochemical properties of an oxygen-deficient perovskite Sr_0.7Y_0.3CoO_3–δ (SYC30) for oxygen electrocatalysis. The obtained results are then closely compared with its analogue Sr_0.9Y_0.1CoO_3–δ (SYC10) of different crystal structures to establish structure–activity relationships. The comparison shows that both SYC30 and SYC10 consist of alternate layers of oxygen-deficient Co1-polyhedra and oxygen-saturated Co2-octahedra with Co1-polyhedra being responsible for V_o^•• migration. It is also found that the distribution and concentration of oxygen vacancies within the Co1-layer are, respectively, less symmetrical and lower in SYC30 than those in SYC10, makingmore »« less

Fe-substituted SrTiO_3-δ-Ce_0.9Gd_0.1O₂ composite anodes for solid oxide fuel cells

Journal Article Cho, Sungmee ; Fowler, Daniel E. ; Miller, Elizabeth C. ; ... - Energy & Environmental Science

A new composite solid oxide fuel cell anode material, SrTi_1-xFe_xO_3-δ mixed with Gd-doped ceria, was tested in La_0.9Sr_0.1Ga_0.8Mg_0.2O_3-δ electrolyte-supported cells with La_0.4Ce_0.6O₂ barrier layers and La_0.6Sr_0.4Fe_0.8Co_0.2O₃ cathodes. The x = 0.7 composition had an anode polarization resistance of 0.17 Ω cm², at 800 °C in humidified H₂, much lower than the value 0.39 Ω cm² measured for x = 0.4 and 3.14 Ω cm² for x = 0. The reduced polarization resistance correlated with increased oxygen non-stoichiometry δ, which suggests that it may be related to increased ionic conductivity.

Structural, Magnetic, and Thermodynamic Properties of Ordered and Disordered Cobaltite Gd{sub 0.1}Sr{sub 0.9}CoO{sub 3 – δ}

Journal Article Dudnikov, V. A. ; Kazak, N. V. ; Orlov, Yu. S., E-mail: jso.krasn@mail.ru ; ... - Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics

The effect of cationic and anionic orderings on the crystal structure and magnetic properties of substituted rare-earth cobaltites Gd{sub 0.1}Sr{sub 0.9}CoO{sub 3 – δ} was studied using X-ray diffraction, measurement of XANES spectra, and magnetic and thermodynamic characteristics. The effects of ordering cause a decrease in symmetry to tetragonal and a distortion of the coordination octahedra of CoO{sub 6}. Anomalous magnetic and thermodynamic quantities are observed at 260 and 360 K, respectively, for disordered and ordered samples. The XANES spectra measured at the CoK edge did not reveal a noticeable shift in the absorption edge compared with the spectrum ofmore »« less
