摘要: 高温氢燃料电池——固体氧化物燃料电池(SOFC)由于具有能量转换效率高、燃料适应性强、环境友好、全固态结构等优点被认为是实现“双碳”目标的一种有效的能量转换装置。但是SOFC的传统钴基阴极成本较高、易挥发、热膨胀系数高、易与电解质发生反应等问题,本研究采用一锅法制备了无钴复合阴极Sm0.6Sr0.4FeO3-δ-Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.9(O-SSF-SDC),其中钙钛矿型金属氧化物SSF 和萤石型氧化物SDC的质量分数分别为75%和25%。微观形貌和元素分布结果表明,与传统的机械混磨方法相比,一锅法制备的O-SSF-SDC复合阴极材料的颗粒尺寸更加均匀,可以为阴极的氧还原反应提供更多的反应活性位点,700 ℃空气气氛条件下O-SSF-SDC复合阴极对称电池的界面阻抗低至0.175 Ω·cm2,此时同时当O-SSF-SDC单电池的阴极和阳极分别暴露于空气和3% H2O湿润的氢气时电池的最大输出功率可达610 mW·cm-2,展示出与传统钴基阴极相当的电化学性能。这些结果表明一锅法可以制备高性能复合阴极,本研究可以为高性能高温氢燃料电池的研发提供借鉴。

Abstract: High-temperature hydrogen fuel cell, solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), is regarded as an effective energy conversion device for achieving the "dual carbon" goals due to its advantages such as high energy conversion efficiency, strong fuel flexibility, environmental friendliness, and all-solid-state structure. To address the issues of high cost, volatility, high thermal expansion coefficient, and easy reaction with electrolyte of traditional cobalt-based cathodes, a cobalt-free composite cathode (O-SSF-SDC), consisting of 75%(in mass) perovskite oxide Sm0.6Sr0.4FeO3-δ (SSF) and 25%(in mass) fluorite structure Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.9 (SDC), was prepared by one-pot synthesis method for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) application. The morphological results and element mapping images demonstrated that the O-SSF-SDC composite cathode exhibited uniform particle size, which provide more active reaction sites for the oxygen reduction reaction in the cathode. The symmetrical cell with O-SSF-SDC cathode showed a relatively low electrode polarization resistance of 0.175 Ω·cm2 at 700 ℃ in air, while the maximum output power of the single cell equipped with O-SSF-SDC cathode reached 610 mW·cm-2 when exposing the anode and cathode to 3% H2O wet H2 and ambient air, respectively, demonstrating comparable electrochemical performance to traditional cobalt-based cathodes. This work can provide reference for the development of efficient high-temperature hydrogen fuel cells.
