Segregation-free perovskite oxides enabled by a thermal relaxing-shocking strategy for active and durable oxygen catalysis
Inert segregations are persistent challenges limiting the application of perovskite oxides as oxygen catalysts in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), solid oxide electrolysis cells, chemical sensors, and high-temperature oxygen separation membranes. Herein, we present a thermal relaxing-shocking strategy that makes segregation-free perovskite oxides feasible. For the thermal relaxing process, La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-δ (LSCF) is subjected to prolonged heat treatment at high temperatures. As the segregation layer grows during this phase, the lattice strain and electrostatic interactions between chemical defects in LSCF are effectively relaxed, and the diffusion rate of segregated metal ions to the surface approaches zero. In the subsequent thermal shocking process, the relaxed LSCF is quenched in liquid nitrogen, which removes the segregation layer without damaging its microstructure. The LSCF treated with the thermal relaxing-shocking process exhibits high oxygen catalytic activity, operates stably in SOFC systems over extended periods, and shows no observable surface segregation layer. This finding offers a new avenue for the design and development of advanced catalysts.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
