Abstract:
Double perovskite oxides SmBaCo2-xNi3O5+delta (SBCNx) (x=0-0.5) are synthesized via an EDTA-glycine process as cathodes for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs). In this study, we investigate the effects of Ni substitution for the Co sites in SmBaCo2O5+delta (SECO) in terms of structural characteristics, electrical properties, and electrochemical performance of SBCNx. At the given temperature, the electrical conductivities of SBCNx decrease as the Ni content increases, and SBCO exhibits a maximum conductivity of 1091 S cm(-1) at 250 degrees C. The average thermal expansion coefficients (TEC) over the temperature range of 25-800 degrees C show a decreased trend from 19.96 x 10(-6) K-1 for SBCO to 16.26 x 10(-6) K-1 for SBCN0.5, while the average TEC of SBCN0.3 reaches a minimum of 15.59 x 10(-6) K-1. Generally, the power density of a single fuel cell at 600-800 degrees C decreases as the Ni content increases, whereas the polarization resistance (R-P) of SBCNx on a Sm0.2Ce0.8O1.9 (SDC) electrolyte is enhanced. Among all of the samples, SBCN0.3 exhibits a combination of low thermal expansion (15.59 x 10(-6) K-1), a reasonably low R-P value (0.0464 Omega cm(2) at 800 degrees C) and high power density (536 mW cm(-2) at 800 degrees C); thus, it may be a promising candidate for IT-SOFCs.
