Abstract

Electrochemically reducing carbon dioxide by solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) is a promising approach to minimize greenhouse gas emissions and generate high added value chemicals and fuels using renewable energy. However, the practical use of CO₂ electrolysis in SOECs faces challenges because of the scarcity of effective and stable cathode materials. This study explores La-doped SrTiO_3-δ composites as cathode materials for CO₂ electrolysis. By judiciously adjusting the La/Sr ratio, the perovskite structure's oxygen vacancies, lattice oxygen formation, and the content of Sr on the surface, a high CO₂ reduction activity is achieved. These adjustments enhance CO₂ adsorption and dissociation, leading to an improvement of catalytic activity and operational stability. La_0.4Sr_0.5TiO_3-δ shows a significantly enhanced CO₂ electrolysis performance with a high Faraday efficiency, a current density of 0.64 A cm⁻² at 850 °C and over 140 h of stability. The evaluation of various La-doped SrTiO_3-δ composites highlights their potential as efficient cathode materials for CO₂ electrolysis in SOECs.

期刊介绍： Composites Part B: Engineering is a journal that publishes impactful research of high quality on composite materials. This research is supported by fundamental mechanics and materials science and engineering approaches. The targeted research can cover a wide range of length scales, ranging from nano to micro and meso, and even to the full product and structure level. The journal specifically focuses on engineering applications that involve high performance composites. These applications can range from low volume and high cost to high volume and low cost composite development. The main goal of the journal is to provide a platform for the prompt publication of original and high quality research. The emphasis is on design, development, modeling, validation, and manufacturing of engineering details and concepts. The journal welcomes both basic research papers and proposals for review articles. Authors are encouraged to address challenges across various application areas. These areas include, but are not limited to, aerospace, automotive, and other surface transportation. The journal also covers energy-related applications, with a focus on renewable energy. Other application areas include infrastructure, off-shore and maritime projects, health care technology, and recreational products.
