基于化学缺陷调控低温固体氧化物燃料电池电极结构与电催化性能

Low temperature solid oxide fuel cell (LT-SOFC) is a promising new energy technology for electric power generation. However, the reduction of electro-catalytic activity of electrode material at low temperature becomes a key issue to be solved. The high performance Ba1-xCoFeO3 perovskite electrode material in the low temperature (400-600℃) working temperature range is designed in this project, to synergistically achieve electro catalytic performance improvement for low temperature symmetric SOFC. By controlling the composition and structure of the material, the chemical defective perovskite electrodes with stable structure, high oxygen vacancy concentration and protonic conductivity will be designed and fabricated to improve the carrier conductivity and maintain structural stability, and to reveal the inner mechanism of cathode ORR performance enhancement due to cation deficiency. Nano metal particles are exsolved from A-site deficient Ba1-xCoFeO3 perovskites through in-situ reduction process to enhance the anode catalytic performance for hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR). At last, symmetrical solid oxide fuel cells (S-SOFC) using Ba1-xCoFeO3 as both cathode and anode are fabricated. The reversibility and stability of the S-SOFC are revealed to promote the development of SOFC. This project will study new type of electrodes and structural design and preparation methods to develop a common method to enhance the electro-catalytic performance for low temperature electrodes, which has great importance to the theoretical development and practical use of LT-SOFC.
