Abstract
The development of cathodes that exhibit both high electrochemical performance and CO2 tolerance represents a critical focus in the field of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). This study presents the detailed synthesis of novel PrBaCo2-xBixO5+δ materials via a sol–gel method. The cathode with x = 0.05 exhibited a tetragonal perovskite structure belonging to the P4/mmm space group. A Bi3+ dopant significantly improves the conductivity, electrochemical properties, and durability of PrBaCo2O5+δ. The area-specific resistance of the cathode at x = 0.05 was measured to be 0.082 Ω cm2 at 700 °C. Furthermore, when hydrogen (H2) was utilized as the fuel and x = 0.05 as a cathode, the peak power density of a single cell achieved 1340 mW cm−2 at 800 °C. Single cell employing x = 0.05 as a cathode material in SOFCs exhibit superior power density and long-term stability, making them a highly promising candidate for SOFC cathode applications.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
