Abstract
The pollution and limitations of fossil energy are increasing year by year, and solid fuel cell is widely studied as a clean energy. Among electrolyte, SDC, as a common electrolyte material in fuel cell, still has some problems such as low electrical conductivity and electron conduction generated by Ce4+/Ce3+ in reducing atmosphere. In this article, the influence of F− doping on SDC and electrical conductivity in Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.95-δ-0.5xFx(CSOF)powder was investigated. A series of Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.95-δ-0.5xFx (x = 0.1, x = 0.03, x = 0.01) solid electrolyte powders were prepared by the glycine-nitrate self-propagating method. Through phase characterization of CSOF, When the F−doping reaches 0.03, the sample has the best conductivity, 55.91*10−3 S/cm at the temperature of 750 °C, and the conductive activation energy is 0.75 eV, which is suitable for the preparation of a single cell. In order to investigate the effect of conductivity on Ce-based materials in reducing atmosphere. Under H2 conditions, the conductive activation energy is 0.34 eV. At a temperature of 750 °C and the current density of 0.786 A/cm2, the power density is maximized at 0.366 W/cm2, and the maximum open-circuit voltage at 550 °C is 0.986 V. This demonstrates that F− doping is beneficial for enhancing the conductivity of the electrolyte.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry is the foremost international journal devoted to the interdisciplinary subject of electrochemistry in all its aspects, theoretical as well as applied.
Electrochemistry is a wide ranging area that is in a state of continuous evolution. Rather than compiling a long list of topics covered by the Journal, the editors would like to draw particular attention to the key issues of novelty, topicality and quality. Papers should present new and interesting electrochemical science in a way that is accessible to the reader. The presentation and discussion should be at a level that is consistent with the international status of the Journal. Reports describing the application of well-established techniques to problems that are essentially technical will not be accepted. Similarly, papers that report observations but fail to provide adequate interpretation will be rejected by the Editors. Papers dealing with technical electrochemistry should be submitted to other specialist journals unless the authors can show that their work provides substantially new insights into electrochemical processes.
