Abstract

Here, the present study investigates the mass loading effect of an infiltrated La_0.6Sr_0.4Co_0.2Fe_0.8O_3-δ (LSCF) nanoparticles (NPs) catalyst on the area-specific polarization resistance (Rp) of a screen-printed porous LSCF cathode for solid oxide fuel cells. The results show that R_p of the LSCF-NPs decorated LSCF cathode can be substantially reduced by as much as 89.3% after a single-step impregnation of 1.5 M nitrate solution containing La:Sr:Co:Fe = 0.6:0.4:0.2:0.8 with a mass loading of 3 wt%.

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

Evidence that Surface-Segregated Sr Phases Can Be Removed in LSCF via Ceria Pre-Infiltration, Are Less Apt to Form in SSC

Journal Article Zhang, Yubo ; Nicholas, Jason D. - Journal of the Electrochemical Society

Here Ce_0.9Gd_0.1O_1.95–x (GDC) pre-infiltration was performed on 12 vol.% La_0.6Sr_0.4Co_0.8Fe_0.2O_3–x (LSCF) or Sm_0.5Sr_0.5CoO_3–x (SSC) infiltrated GDC Solid Oxide Fuel Cell cathodes. The addition of 7.5 vol.% of ~40 nm diameter GDC nanoparticles into a ~30 micron thick porous scaffold of partially-sintered, sub-micron GDC particles before LSCF infiltration 1) lowered the temperature needed to produce a LSCF-GDC polarization resistance (R_P) of 0.1 Ohm*cm² by ~50 °C, and 2) reduced the amount of 500 h, 650 °C open-circuit LSCF-GDC R_P degradation from ~37% to ~6%. In contrast, GDC pre-infiltration had no effect on the initial SSC-GDC R_P or the 19% in RPmore »« less

Surface enhanced performance of La_0.6Sr_0.4Co_0.2Fe_0.8O_3-δ cathodes by infiltration Pr-Ni-Mn-O progress

Journal Article Shi, Yongjing ; Wen, Yeting ; Huang, Kevin ; ... - Journal of Alloys and Compounds

Herein the present study reports the enhancement of electrochemical oxygen reduction activity of porous La_0.6Sr_0.4Co_0.2Fe_0.8O_3–δ (LSCF) cathodes by coating a thin film of Pr-Ni-Mn oxide (PNM5) using a multi-step infiltration process. XRD examination reveals that PNM5 mainly contains a multiphase mixture of Pr₆O₁₁, PrNiO₃, MnO and NiO. SEM morphology shows a thin PNM5 film and small particles are formed on the surface of LSCF backbone particles. Impedance spectrum analysis indicates that PNM5 infiltrated LSCF exhibits dramatically reduced polarization resistance (R_p), reaching R_p of 0.244 Ω cm² at 973 K, which is one-half of the baseline LSCF cathode.

An Investigation of LSF-YSZ Conductive Scaffolds for Infiltrated SOFC Cathodes

Journal Article Cheng, Yuan ; Oh, Tae-Sik ; Wilson, Rachel ; ... - Journal of the Electrochemical Society

Porous composites of Sr-doped LaFeO₃ (LSF) and yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) were investigated as conductive scaffolds for infiltrated SOFC cathodes with the goal of producing scaffolds for which only a few perovskite infiltration steps are required to achieve sufficient conductivity. While no new phases form when LSF-YSZ composites are calcined to 1623 K, shifts in the lattice parameters indicate Zr can enter the perovskite phase. Measurements on dense, LSF-YSZ composites show that the level of Zr doping depends on the Sr:La ratio. Because conductivity of undoped LSF increases with Sr content while both the ionic and electronic conductivities of Zr-doped LSFmore »« less

La_0.6Sr_0.4Co_0.2Fe_0.8O_3-δ cathodes infiltrated with samarium-doped cerium oxide for solid oxide fuel cells

Journal Article Nie, Lifang ; Liu, Mingfei ; Zhang, Yujun ; ... - Journal of Power Sources

Porous La_0.6Sr_0.4Co_0.2Fe_0.8O_3-δ (LSCF) cathodes are coated with a thin film of Sm_0.2Ce_0.8O_1.95-δ (SDC) using a one-step infiltration process. Examination of the microstructures reveals that small SDC particles are formed on the surface of LSCF grains with a relatively narrow size distribution. Impedance analysis indicates that the SDC infiltration has dramatically reduced the polarization of LSCF cathode, reaching interfacial resistances of 0.074 and 0.44 Ω cm² at 750 °C and 650 °C, respectively, which are about half of those for LSCF cathode without infiltration of SDC. The activation energies of the SDC infiltrated LSCF cathodes are in the range of 1.42–1.55more »« less
