Abstract
The insufficient oxygen reduction reaction activity of cathode materials is one of the main obstacles to decreasing the operating temperature of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Here, we report a Zn-doped perovskite oxide Ba0.5Sr0.5(Co0.8Fe0.2)0.96 [...] Read more.
The insufficient oxygen reduction reaction activity of cathode materials is one of the main obstacles to decreasing the operating temperature of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Here, we report a Zn-doped perovskite oxide Ba0.5Sr0.5(Co0.8Fe0.2)0.96Zn0.04O3-δ (BSCFZ) as the SOFC cathode, which exhibits much higher electrocatalytical activity than Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ (BSCF) for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The BSCFZ cathode exhibited a polarization resistance of only 0.23 and 0.03 Ω·cm2 on a symmetrical cell at 600 and 750 °C, respectively. The corresponding maximum power density of 0.58 W·cm−2 was obtained in the yittria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ)-based anode-supported single cell at 750 °C, an increase by 35% in comparison to the BSCF cathode. The enhanced performance can be attributed to a better balance of oxygen vacancies, surface electron transfer and ionic mobility as promoted by the low valence Zn2+ doping. This work proves that Zn-doping is a highly effective strategy to further enhance the ORR electrocatalytic activity of state-of-the-art Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ cathode material for intermediate temperature SOFCs.

We evaluated the influence of aging on mechanical properties of 8% yttria-doped zirconia (8YSZ) from room temperature to 1200 K. The temperature dependence of the dynamic Young’s and shear moduli of 8YSZ with and without the aging treatment was investigated by using a resonance method. The dynamic Young’s and shear moduli of 8YSZ without the aging treatment decreased by 33% below 700 K and gradually increased at higher temperatures with increasing temperature. On the other hand, those with the aging treatments decreased by around 20% below 600 K while did not significantly change above 600 K with increasing temperature. These demonstrated the effect of aging on the dynamic Young’s and shear moduli of 8YSZ was most remarkable at intermediate temperatures (600~1000 K). Although it was suggested that the existence ratio of the metastable tetragonal phase was increased during the aging treatment, it is likely that the influence of this phase transition on the dynamic Young’s and shear moduli was not significant. It seemed that the difference in the dynamic Young’s and shear moduli of 8YSZ with and without the aging treatment at intermediate temperatures was due to the local ordering of the oxygen vacancies.
