Abstract
Symmetrical solid oxide fuel cells (SSOFCs) possessing the same electrodes have attracted plenty of scientific interest for lots of advantages compared with conventional SOFCs with different anodes and cathodes. In this paper, a 10 mol% Ta doped perovskite-type oxide La0.6Sr0.4FeO3?δ, named La0.6Sr0.4Fe0.9Ta0.1O3?δ (LSFT), is studied as both an anode and cathode for proton conducting SOFCs (H-SOFCs) operated between 500 and 800 °C. LSFT is chemically compatible with a BaZr0.1Ce0.7Y0.1Yb0.1O3?δ (BZCYYb) electrolyte, even co-sintering at 1000 °C for 10 h. The activating energy (Ea) of electrical conductivity for LSFT is only 0.44 eV. At 800 °C, the polarization resistances (Rps) for LSFT barely reach 0.02 Ω cm2 in air and 0.1 Ω cm2 in H2, and the corresponding Ea values are only 1.39 and 0.91 eV, respectively. The peak power density (PPD) of a symmetrical H-SOFC (SHSOFC) using LSFT electrodes is 0.697 W cm?2 at 800 °C. Herein, LSFT should be a promising electrode for SHSOFCs.
