摘要:

PrBaFe2O5+δ(PBF)是中温固体氧化物燃料电池(IT-SOFC)技术最有前途的阴极材料之一。虽然, PBF的极化面电阻(ASR)与Co基阴极材料相近, 但电子电导率低了一个数量级。针对此问题, 目前已报道了各种掺杂优化策略。本研究用过量Pr替换PBF中的Ba, 采用溶胶-凝胶法成功合成了PBF和Pr1+xBa1-xFe2O5+δ(PBFx, x=0.01、0.02、0.04)材料, 并评价了其作为IT-SOFC阴极的电化学性能。结果表明, x=0.01时, 过量Pr进入PBF的晶格间隙; x≥0.02时, 过量0.01(摩尔分数)的Pr进入间隙位置, 其余过量Pr置换PBF中的Ba。在650~800 ℃范围内, Pr过量提高了PBF的电导率, 其中, PBF0.01的电导率最高, 达到109.21 S•cm-1, 提高了76%, 这是由于Pr过量使电子传输路径缩短。而且, Pr过量使阴极产生的晶格应变和晶格位错密度降低了氧还原反应(ORR)活性, 导致ASR略微增加。最终, 本研究制备的Ni-SDC|SDC|PBF0.01(SDC: Sm0.2Ce0.8O2-δ)单电池的峰值功率密度比PBF器件提高了49%, 表明Pr过量可以显著提升阴极材料的电化学性能。

Abstract:

PrBaFe2O5+δ (PBF) is one of the most promising cathode materials for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cell (IT-SOFC). Although PBF possesses similar area specific resistance (ASR) to that of Co-based cathode materials, electronic conductivity of PBF is an order of magnitude lower. Up to now, various doping strategies have been reported to enhance the electrochemical performance of this material, but still leaving it an open issue. In this study, PBF and Pr1+xBa1−xFe2O5+δ (PBFx, x=0.01, 0.02, and 0.04) materials were synthesized by replacing Ba in PBF with excessive Pr using a Sol-Gel method, and their electrochemical performances as IT-SOFC cathodes were evaluated. For x=0.01, excessive Pr enters the lattice interstitials of PBF. For x≥0.02, 0.01 (in molar) excessive Pr occupies interstitial sites, while the rest replaces Ba in PBF. Over the temperature range of 650-800 ℃, excessive Pr promotes the conductivity of PBF, and PBF0.01 exhibits the highest conductivity of 109.21 S•cm-1, improving by 76%, which is attributed to the reduction in electronic transport path length. Furthermore, the excessive Pr contributes to lattice stress and dislocation density, reducing oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity and slightly increasing ASR of the cathode. Compared to PBF device, the peak power density of the Ni-SDC|SDC|PBF0.01 (SDC: Sm0.2Ce0.8O2-δ) single cell increased by approximately 49%, indicating that excessive Pr can significantly improve the electrochemical performance of cathode materials.
