Abstract
Praseodymium-based perovskites, like Pr0.4Sr0.6Ni0.2Fe0.7Mo0.1O3-δ (PSNFM), has excellent bifunctional electrocatalytic activity, making it suitable as a semiconductor material for reversible single-layer cell (RSLC) device, which can realize the electrochemical energy conversion and storage. To improve the electrocatalytic activity of PSNFM, Pr0.4Sr0.6Ni0.2Fe0.7Mo0.1F0.1O2.9-δ (F0.1-PSNFM), and (Pr0.4Sr0.6)0.95Ni0.2Fe0.7Mo0.1F0.1O2.9-δ (F0.1-(PS)0.95NFM) perovskite oxides are synthesized. In H2 atmosphere, it is found that NiFe10.8 alloy is deposited on the surface of reduced PSNFM and reduced F0.1-PSNFM, while NiFe alloy is deposited on the surface of reduced F0.1-(PS)0.95NFM, suggesting that the presence of A-site defects promoting the precipitation of metallic Ni. Moreover, the concentration of oxygen vacancies can be increased by both A-site defects and F- doping, which results from the reduction of average valence states of Ni, Fe, and Mo. This indicates that F0.1-(PS)0.95NFM has the highest number of oxygen vacancies serving as oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) sites and the reduced F0.1-(PS)0.95NFM exhibits the best hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) activity. For HOR, the rate-determining steps (RDS) on reduced PSNFM series semiconductor materials are charge transfer reaction and ORR process is controlled by a mixture of two elementary steps: the conversion of adsorbed oxygen to lattice oxygen and the reduction of O to O-. The combination of A-site defects and F- doping has been found to have a synergistic effect, leading to a significant enhancement of the discharge power density in single-layer fuel cell (SLFC) as well as the water electrolysis current density in single-layer electrolysis cell (SLEC).
