The results showed that LDC30 has a suitable chemical compatibility with NiO and NiO-LDC30 has a good thermal expansion matching with LDC30 interlayer and LSGM(La0.8Sr0.2Ga0.8Mg0.2O3-δ) electrolyte, so NiO-LDC30/LDC30 was considered as a feasible and novel anode system. It was also shown that NiO content plays a key role on polarization performance and morphology of the anode. When the content of NiO was 60%(mass fraction), the polarization loss of anode was the lowest. Next we will optimize the porosity and sintering procedure to modify the microstructure and performance of the anode.展开更多

However, the long-term stability was a concern. Here we report our findings on the effect of a thin film coating of La0.85Sr0.15MnO3-δ （LSM） on the performance of a porous La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Feo.8O3-δ（LSCF） cathode. When the thicknesses of the LSM coatings are appropriate, an LSM-coated LSCF electrode showed better stability and lower polarization （or higher activity） than the blank LSCF cathode without LSM infiltration. An anode-supported cell with an LSM-infiltrated LSCF cathode demonstrated at 825 ℃ a peak power density of -1.07 W/cm2, about 24% higher than that of the same cell without LSM infiltration （-0.86 W/cm2）. Further, the LSM coating enhanced the stability of the electrode; there was little degradation in performance for the cell with an LSM-infiltrated LSCF cathode during 100 h operation.展开更多
La0.15Sr0.85Ga0.3Fe0.7O3-δ(LSGFO) and La0.15Sr0.85Co0.3Fe0.7O3-δ(LSCFO) mixed oxygen-ion and electron conducting oxides were synthesized by using a combined EDTA and citrate complexing method, and the corresponding ...La0.15Sr0.85Ga0.3Fe0.7O3-δ(LSGFO) and La0.15Sr0.85Co0.3Fe0.7O3-δ(LSCFO) mixed oxygen-ion and electron conducting oxides were synthesized by using a combined EDTA and citrate complexing method, and the corresponding dense membranes were fabricated. The properties of the oxide powders and membranes were characterized with combined SEM, XRD, H2-TPR, O2-TPD techniques, mechanical strength and oxygen permeation measurement. The results showed that LSGFO had much higher thermochemical stability than LSCFO due to the higher valence stability of Ga3+. After the temperature-programmed reduction by 5% H2 in Ar from 20℃to 1020℃, the basic perovskite structure of LSGFO was successfully preserved. LSGFO also favors the oxygen vacancy formation better than LSCFO. Oxygen permeation measurement demonstrated that LSGFO had higher oxygen permeation flux than LSCFO, but they had similar activation energy for oxygen transportation, with a value of 110 and 117 kJ ?mol^(-1), respectively.
