Abstract
Oxygen and hydrogen mobility are among the important characteristics for the operation of solid oxide fuel cells, permselective membranes and many other electrochemical devices. This, along with other characteristics, enables a high-power density in solid oxide fuel cells due to reducing the electrolyte resistance and enabling the electrode processes to not be limited by the electrode-electrolyte-gas phase triple-phase boundary, as well as providing high oxygen or hydrogen permeation fluxes for membranes due to a high ambipolar conductivity. This work focuses on the oxygen and hydrogen diffusion of mixed ionic (oxide ionic or/and protonic)-electronic conducting materials for these devices, and its role in their performance. The main laws of bulk diffusion and surface exchange are highlighted. Isotope exchange techniques allow us to study these processes in detail. Ionic transport properties of conventional and state-of-the-art materials including perovskites, Ruddlesden-Popper phases, fluorites, pyrochlores, composites, etc., are reviewed.

[PMID: 37367789 DOI: 10.3390/membranes13060585] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2023] [Revised: 06/01/2023] [Accepted: 06/03/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023]
Abstract
Samarium-doped ceria (SDC) is considered as an alternative electrolyte material for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs) because its conductivity is higher than that of commonly used yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ). The paper compares the properties of anode-supported SOFCs with magnetron sputtered single-layer SDC and multilayer SDC/YSZ/SDC thin-film electrolyte, with the YSZ blocking layer 0.5, 1, and 1.5 μm thick. The thickness of the upper and lower SDC layers of the multilayer electrolyte are constant and amount to 3 and 1 μm, respectively. The thickness of single-layer SDC electrolyte is 5.5 μm. The SOFC performance is studied by measuring current-voltage characteristics and impedance spectra in the range of 500-800 °C. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy are used to investigate the structure of the deposited electrolyte and other fuel cell layers. SOFCs with the single-layer SDC electrolyte show the best performance at 650 °C. At this temperature, open circuit voltage and maximum power density are 0.8 V and 651 mW/cm2, respectively. The formation of the SDC electrolyte with the YSZ blocking layer improves the open circuit voltage up to 1.1 V and increases the maximum power density at the temperatures over 600 °C. It is shown that the optimal thickness of the YSZ blocking layer is 1 µm. The fuel cell with the multilayer SDC/YSZ/SDC electrolyte, with the layer thicknesses of 3/1/1 µm, has the maximum power density of 2263 and 1132 mW/cm2 at 800 and 650 °C, respectively.

Abstract
The strategy to increase the performance of the single solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) with a supporting membrane of Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.9 (SDC) electrolyte has been implemented in this study by introducing a thin anode barrier layer of the BaCe0.8Sm0.2O3 + 1 wt% CuO (BCS-CuO) electrolyte and, additionally, a modifying layer of a Ce0.8Sm0.1Pr0.1O1.9 (PSDC) electrolyte. The method of electrophoretic deposition (EPD) is used to form thin electrolyte layers on a dense supporting membrane. The electrical conductivity of the SDC substrate surface is achieved by the synthesis of a conductive polypyrrole sublayer. The kinetic parameters of the EPD process from the PSDC suspension are studied. The volt-ampere characteristics and power output of the obtained SOFC cells with the PSDC modifying layer on the cathode side and the BCS-CuO blocking layer on the anode side (BCS-CuO/SDC/PSDC) and with a BCS-CuO blocking layer on the anode side (BCS-CuO/SDC) and oxide electrodes have been studied. The effect of increasing the power output of the cell with the BCS-CuO/SDC/PSDC electrolyte membrane due to a decrease in the ohmic and polarization resistances of the cell is demonstrated. The approaches developed in this work can be applied to the development of SOFCs with both supporting and thin-film MIEC electrolyte membranes.

Abstract
In the presented study, films from tetragonal Li7La3Zr2O12 were obtained by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) for the first time. To obtain a continuous and homogeneous coating on Ni and Ti substrates, iodine was added to the Li7La3Zr2O12 suspension. The EPD regime was developed to carry out the stable process of deposition. The influence of annealing temperature on phase composition, microstructure, and conductivity of membranes obtained was studied. It was established that the phase transition from tetragonal to low-temperature cubic modification of solid electrolyte was observed after its heat treatment at 400 °C. This phase transition was also confirmed by high-temperature X-ray diffraction analysis of Li7La3Zr2O12 powder. Increasing the annealing temperature leads to the formation of additional phases in the form of fibers and their growth from 32 (dried film) to 104 μm (annealed at 500 °C). The formation of this phase occurred due to the chemical reaction of Li7La3Zr2O12 films obtained by electrophoretic deposition with air components during heat treatment. The total conductivity of Li7La3Zr2O12 films obtained has values of ~10-10 and ~10-7 S cm-1 at 100 and 200 °C, respectively. The method of EPD can be used to obtain solid electrolyte membranes based on Li7La3Zr2O12 for all-solid-state batteries.

Abstract
Poly(2,2'-biquinoline-6,6'-dicarbohydrazide)-co-(bistrimelliteimide)methylene-bisanthranylide (PHI) and its metal-polymer complex PHI-Cu(I) containing several types of functional groups (hydrazide, carboxyl, amide, and imide fragments) were synthesized to prepare two types of dense nonporous membranes. The study on morphology using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), measurements of mechanical, thermal, and transport properties of the membrane samples was carried out. The main mechanical properties of both membranes do not differ significantly, but the values of ultimate deformation differ palpably as a result of a non-uniform character of the deformation process for the PHI membrane. The thermal analysis based on the curves of thermogravimetric (TGA) and differential thermal (DTA) analyses of the PHI and PHI-Cu(I) membranes revealed peculiarities of the membrane structure. Transport properties were studied in pervaporation (PV) of methanol (MeOH) and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) mixtures including an azeotropic point. Intrinsic properties of the penetrant-membrane system were also determined. It was found that the total flux is higher through the PHI membrane, but the PHI-Cu(I) membrane exhibits a higher separation factor. Calculation of the pervaporation separation index (PSI) allowed to conclude that the PHI-Cu(I) membrane exhibits better transport properties as compared with the PHI membrane.

Abstract
In this review, recent achievements in the application of high-entropy alloys (HEAs) and high-entropy oxides (HEOs) in the technology of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) are discussed for the first time. The mechanisms of the stabilization of a high-entropy state in such materials, as well as the effect of structural and charge factors on the stability of the resulting homogeneous solid solution are performed. An introduction to the synthesis methods for HEAs and HEOs is given. The review highlights such advantages of high-entropy materials as high strength and the sluggish diffusion of components, which are promising for the use at the elevated temperatures, which are characteristic of SOFCs. Application of the medium- and high-entropy materials in the hydrocarbon-fueled SOFCs as protective layers for interconnectors and as anode components, caused by their high stability, are covered. High-entropy solid electrolytes are discussed in comparison with traditional electrolyte materials in terms of conductivity. High-entropy oxides are considered as prospective cathodes for SOFCs due to their superior electrochemical activity and long-term stability compared with the conventional perovskites. The present review also determines the prioritizing directions in the future development of high-entropy materials as electrolytes and electrodes for SOFCs operating in the intermediate and low temperature ranges.

Abstract
Mixed ionic-electronic conducting materials are not used as a single-layer electrolyte of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) at relatively high operating temperatures of ~800 °C. This is because of a significant decrease in the open-circuit voltage (OCV) and, consequently, the SOFC power density. The paper presents a comparative analysis of the anode-supported SOFC properties obtained within the temperature range of 600 to 800 °C with yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte and gadolinium-doped ceria (GDC) electrolyte thin films. Electrolyte layers that are 3 µm thick are obtained by magnetron sputtering. It is shown that at 800 °C, the SOFC with the GDC electrolyte thin film provides an OCV over 0.9 V and power density of 2 W/cm2. The latter is comparable to the power density of SOFCs with the YSZ electrolyte, which is a purely ionic conductor. The GDC electrolyte manifests the high performance, despite the SOFC power density loss induced by electronic conductivity of the former, which, in turn, is compensated by its other positive properties.

Abstract
In this work, a technology was developed for the formation of BaCe0.8Sm0.2O3+1 wt% CuO (BCS-CuO)/Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.9 (SDC) thin-film electrolyte membranes for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs) on porous NiO-BCS-CuO anode substrates using direct electrophoretic deposition (EPD). The effect of increasing the zeta potential when modifying the base suspension of a micro-sized SDC-gn powder (glycine–nitrate method) with the addition of a SDC-lec nanopowder (laser evaporation–condensation) was investigated. Dependences of the current strength on the deposition time and the deposited weight on the EPD voltage were obtained, and evolution of the morphology of the coatings during the modification of the SDC-gn suspension and a suspension of BCS-CuO powder was studied. The compatibility of the shrinkage kinetics of the SDC, the BCS-CuO electrolyte coatings and the NiO-BCS-CuO anode substrate was studied during the high-temperature sintering. Dense BCS-CuO/SDC films of different thicknesses were obtained for the first time on porous NiO-BCS-CuO anode substrates and comprehensive microstructural and electrochemical studies were carried out. The developed technology can be applied to the formation of anode-supported SOFCs with thin-film electrolyte membranes.

Abstract
In this study, Nd1.6Ca0.4Ni1−yCuyO4+δ-based electrode materials for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs) are investigated. Materials of the series (y = 0–0.4) are obtained by pyrolysis of glycerol-nitrate compositions. The study of crystal structure and high-temperature stability in air and under low oxygen partial pressure atmospheres are performed using high-resolution neutron and in situ X-ray powder diffraction. All the samples under the study assume a structure with Bmab sp.gr. below 350 °C and with I4/mmm sp.gr. above 500 °C. A transition in the volume thermal expansion coefficient values from 7.8–9.3 to 9.1–12.0 × 10−6, K−1 is observed at approximately 400 °C in air and 500 °C in helium.The oxygen self-diffusion coefficient values, obtained using isotope exchange, monotonically decrease with the Cu content increasing, while concentration dependence of the charge carriers goes through the maximum at x = 0.2. The Nd1.6Ca0.4Ni0.8Cu0.2O4+δ electrode materialdemonstrates chemical compatibility and superior electrochemical performance in the symmetrical cells with Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.9, BaCe0.8Sm0.2O3−δ, BaCe0.8Gd0.19Cu0.1O3−δ and BaCe0.5Zr0.3Y0.1Yb0.1O3−δ solid electrolytes, potentially for application in IT-SOFCs.

Abstract
In this study, the technology of electrophoretic deposition (EPD) micrometer barrier layers based on a BaCe0.8Sm0.19Cu0.1O3 (BCSCuO) protonic conductor on dense carrying Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.9 (SDC) solid-state electrolyte substrates is developed. Methods for creating conductive sublayers on non-conductive SDC substrates under EPD conditions, such as the synthesis of a conductive polypyrrole (PPy) layer and deposition of a layer of finely dispersed platinum from a suspension of its powder in isopropanol, are proposed. The kinetics of disaggregation, disperse composition, electrokinetic potential, and the effect of adding iodine to the BCSCuO suspension on these parameters as factors determining the preparation of stable suspensions and successful EPD processes are explored. Button cells based on a carrying SDC electrolyte of 550 μm in thickness with BCSCuO layers (8–35 μm) on the anode, cathode, and anode/cathode side, and Pt electrodes are electrochemically tested. It was found that the effect of blocking the electronic current in the SDC substrate under OCV conditions was maximal for the cells with barrier layers deposited on the anode side. The technology developed in this study can be used to fabricate solid oxide fuel cells with doped CeO2 electrolyte membranes characterized by mixed ionic–electronic conductivity (MIEC) under reducing atmospheres.

Abstract
Electrolytic deposition (ELD) and electrophoretic deposition (EPD) are relevant methods for creating functional layers of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). This review discusses challenges, new findings and prospects for the implementation of these methods, with the main emphasis placed on the use of the ELD method. Topical issues concerning the formation of highly active SOFC electrodes using ELD, namely, the electrochemical introduction of metal cations into a porous electrode backbone, the formation of composite electrodes, and the electrochemical synthesis of perovskite-like electrode materials are considered. The review presents examples of the ELD formation of the composite electrodes based on porous platinum and silver, which retain high catalytic activity when used in the low-temperature range (400–650 °C). The features of the ELD/EPD co-deposition in the creation of nanostructured electrode layers comprising metal cations, ceramic nanoparticles, and carbon nanotubes, and the use of EPD to create oriented structures are also discussed. A separate subsection is devoted to the electrodeposition of CeO2-based film structures for barrier, protective and catalytic layers using cathodic and anodic ELD, as well as to the main research directions associated with the deposition of the SOFC electrolyte layers using the EPD method.

Abstract
This work presents the results from a study of the structure and transport properties of Ca-doped La2NiO4+δ. La2−xCaxNiO4+δ (x = 0–0.4) materials that were synthesized via combustion of organic-nitrate precursors and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), in situ XRD using synchrotron radiation, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and isotope exchange of oxygen with C18O2. The structure was defined as orthorhombic (Fmmm) for x = 0 and tetragonal (I4/mmm) for x = 0.1–0.4. Changes that occurred in the unit cell parameters and volume as the temperature changed during heating were shown to be caused by the excess oxygen loss. Typical for Ruddlesden–Popper phases, oxygen mobility and surface reactivity decreased as the Ca content was increased due to a reduction in the over-stoichiometric oxygen content with the exception of x = 0.1. This composition demonstrated its superior oxygen transport properties compared to La2NiO4+δ due to the enhanced oxygen mobility caused by structural features. Electrochemical data obtained showed relatively low polarization resistance for the electrodes with a low Ca content, which correlates well with oxygen transport properties.
