Abstract
The material and electrochemical properties of PrBa0.5Sr0.5Co1.5Fe0.5O5+δ (PBSCF) are investigated in this study to better understand its potential as a high-performance cathode material. The oxidation state of PBSCF, a critical factor influencing electrode performance is analyzed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) at both room temperature and intermediate temperatures. The results reveal an increased surface oxidation state at elevated temperatures. Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) indicates weight loss after three consecutive thermal cycles, suggesting structural and compositional changes. Furthermore, PBSCF exhibits excellent electrical conductivity, reaching 427.8 S cm−1 at 600 °C with a minimal degradation rate of 0.21 % over 100 h of operation. The area-specific resistance of a symmetrical PBSCF cell is measured at 0.071 Ω cm2 at 800 °C, highlighting its promise for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs).
期刊介绍:
The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc.
The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
