摘要:

受固体氧化物燃料电池(SOFCs)原位还原脱溶纳米金属阳极技术的启发, 本工作采用煅烧后的Sr2V0.1Co0.9MoO6前驱体(包含其他相的钙钛矿)在空气气氛下与电解质共烧制备出单电池, 避免了为防止阳极氧化而需在还原/惰性气氛下制备电池的苛刻条件。制备电解质片上的阳极前驱体仅需在燃料侧原位还原4 h, 便可形成纯相Sr2V0.1Co0.9MoO6 (R-SVCMO)阳极。结果表明, R-SVCMO在活化能显著降低的同时电导率由2.7 S•cm-1提高至21.6 S•cm-1。当R-SVCMO为阳极的单电池分别以H2和湿CH4为燃料气时, 在850 ℃的最大功率密度(Pmax)分别达到862和514 mW•cm-2, 显示出优秀的催化性能。还原前后阳极在100~850 ℃的平均热膨胀系数(TEC)分别为1.15×10-5和1.23×10-5 K-1, 均与传统SOFC电解质相近。因此, 还原过程不会导致阳极层体积产生变化, 可以显著提高电池结构稳定性(退化率仅为0.13%)。加之R-SVCMO是在燃料气氛下合成的, 其作为阳极表现出极高的长期稳定性和催化活性。R-SVCMO对湿CH4的催化效率达到60%, 并能够稳定运行1450 h, 相应的单电池可在0.7 V稳定运行450 h。综上所述, 本研究采用燃料原位还原法制备了具有优异电化学性能和结构稳定性的单电池。

Abstract:

Taking inspiration from the in-situ reduction technique employed for exsolved nano-metal as anodes in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), this study utilized Sr2V0.1Co0.9MoO6, which was synthesized in an ambient air environment, with perovskites of other phases to co-fire with the electrolyte under atmospheric conditions for direct fabrication of a single cell. By this way, the procedure of subjecting the cell to harsh preparative conditions in a reducing/inert atmosphere to prevent its anodic oxidation can be circumvented. After preparation of the anode precursor on the electrolyte sheet, we adopted a simple process of in-situ reduction at 750 ℃ for 4 h on the fuel side to achieve formation of a pure phase Sr2V0.1Co0.9MoO6 (R-SVCMO) as anode. The results demonstrate a significant reduction in the activation energy of R-SVCMO, accompanied by an increase in conductivity from 2.7 to 21.6 S•cm-1. Moreover, when employing R-SVCMO as anode in a single cell with H2 and wet CH4 as fuel gases, the maximum power density (Pmax) at 850 ℃ can reach up to 862 and 514 mW·cm-2, respectively, showcasing exceptional catalytic performance. The anodes before and after reduction exhibit average thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) of 1.15×10-5 and 1.23×10-5 K-1, respectively, within the temperature range of 100-850 ℃, comparable to those observed in conventional SOFC electrolytes. Therefore, the reduction process does not induce any volumetric changes in the anode layer, significantly enhancing its structural stability. Meanwhile, degradation rate of only 0.13% is occurred. It is worth noting that this R-SVCMO synthesis method can result in remarkable long-term stability and high catalytic activity as an anode material. The obtained R-SVCMO can achieve a 60% catalytic efficiency for wet CH4 and last for 1450 h. Based on this R-SVCMO, the single cell can maintain stability for 450 h at 0.7 V. In conclusion, this study demonstrates an effective way of employing an in-situ fuel reduction method to prepare a single cell with exceptional electrochemical performance and structural stability.
