Abstract
Developing high-performance cathodes with sufficient stability against CO2 rooting in ambient atmosphere is crucial to realizing the practical application of solid-oxide fuel cells. Herein, the Mn dopant is investigated to regulate the phase structure and cathode performance of SrFeO3-δ perovskites through partially replacing the B-site Fe. Compared with parent SrFeO3-δ, Mn-doped materials, SrFe1-xMnxO3-δ (x = 0.05 and 0.1), show stabilized cubic perovskites at room temperature. Meanwhile, doping Mn accelerates the oxygen reduction reaction process, showing a reduced polarization resistance of 0.155 Ω·cm2 at 700 °C for SrFe0.95Mn0.05O3-δ, which is less than 30% of SrFeO3-δ. In addition, the Mn dopant improves the chemical oxygen surface exchange and bulk diffusion coefficients. Furthermore, Mn enhances the tolerance toward CO2 corrosion in various CO2 atmospheres. Density functional theory calculations also reveal that Mn can strengthen the structural stability and increase the activity for the oxygen reduction reaction.

Evaluation of BaCo 0. 4Fe 0. 4Zr 0.2-x Ni x O 3-δ perovskite cathode using nickel as a sintering aid for IT-SOFC. RSC Adv 2021; 11:14475-14483. [PMID: 35424000 PMCID: PMC8697734 DOI: 10.1039/d1ra00789k] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2021] [Accepted: 04/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
In this research work, BaCo0.4Fe0.4Zr0.2-x Ni x O3-δ (x = 0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04) perovskite cathode material for IT-SOFC is synthesized successfully using a combustion method and sintered at low temperature. The effects of nickel as a sintering aid on the properties of BaCo0.4Fe0.4Zr0.2O3-δ are investigated through different characterization methods. The addition of nickel increased the densification and grain growth at a lower sintering temperature 1200 °C. XRD analysis confirms a single phase of BaCo0.4Fe0.4Zr0.2O3-δ , and an increase in crystalline size is observed. SEM micrographs show formation of dense microstructure with increased nickel concentration. TGA analysis revealed that BaCo0.4Fe0.4Zr0.2-x Ni x cathode materials are thermally stable within the SOFC temperature range, and negligible weight loss of 2.3% is observed. The bonds of hydroxyl groups and metal oxides are confirmed for all samples through FTIR analysis. The highest electrical properties are observed for BaCo0.4Fe0.4Zr0.2-x Ni x (x = 0.04) due to increased densification and electronic defects compared to other compositions. The maximum power density of 0.47 W cm-2 is obtained for a cell having cathode material BaCo0.4Fe0.4Zr0.2-x Ni x (x = 0.02) owing to its permeable and well-connected structure compared to others.
