A/B-Site Co-Doping Enabled Fast Oxygen Reduction Reaction and Promoted Co2 Tolerance of Perovskite Cathode for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
Journal of power sources(2022)
摘要
The significant challenges facing the development of the cathode for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs) are the poor oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity as well as the CO2 poisoning issues. Herein, an La/Nb co-doped perovskite Ba0.9La0.1Co0.7Fe0.2Nb0.1O3-delta (BLCFN) has been developed as a promising cathode for IT-SOFCs. The polarization resistance of BLCFN cathode is 0.073 omega cm2 at 700 degrees C air. This remarkable improved ORR activity can be attributed to the increased oxygen vacancies caused by the intro-duction of La3+ and Nb5+ ions. Furthermore, the collaboration introduction of La3+ and Nb5+ ions greatly reduce the alkalinity of the BLCFN electrode, bringing excellent CO2-tolerance for BLCFN cathode. No carbonate is yielded on the surface of the BLCFN cathode. The improvement on CO2-tolerance for these cathodes is largely attributed to the introduction of Nb5+ ions, which have higher acidity and more powerful M -O bond, and the introduction of La3+ can improve the ORR activity of the material on this basis. The co-doping of La/Nb elements furtherly stabilizes the lattice structure. Overall, the high ORR activity and CO2-tolerance of the cathode manifest a bright application prospect for BLCFN cathode in SOFCs and other membrane reactors.
