摘要: 氢能以其高效、清洁、可再生的优点成为化石能源的有效替代者,而可逆固体氧化物电池(RSOC)既可利用氢气输出电能,也可电解H2O产生氢气,对其研究具有十分重要的意义。本文对RSOC的氧电极进行了研究,在La0.65Sr0.35MnO3(LSM)氧电极的基础上,采用溶液交替浸渍法将Sm0.2Ce0.8O1.9(SDC)和Sm0.5Sr0.5CoO3−δ(SSC)纳米粒子引入LSM氧电极中。800℃时,交替浸渍1次的LSM-SDC-SSC1氧电极的极化电阻为0.49 Ω·cm2,是纯LSM电极(1.12 Ω·cm2)的43%。SDC和SSC的浸渍顺序对电极形貌和性能的影响随着浸渍次数的增加逐渐减弱,交替浸渍2次的LSM-SDC-SSC2氧电极具有最低的极化过电位和极化电阻。800°C时,Ni-(Y2O3)0.08(ZrO2)0.92(YSZ)/YSZ/LSM-SDC-SSC2单电池在固体氧化物燃料电池(SOFC)模式下的最大功率密度为870 mW·cm−2,是纯LSM电池的6.3倍,在固体氧化物电解池(SOEC)模式下的最大电解电流密度为−1150 mA·cm−2,具有良好的可逆电池输出性能。

Abstract: Hydrogen energy has become an effective substitute for fossil energy due to its advantages of high efficiency, cleanliness and renewability. Reversible solid oxide cell (RSOC) can use hydrogen to output electricity or electrolyze H2O to produce hydrogen, which has very important research significance. The performance optimization of La0.65Sr0.35MnO3 (LSM) oxygen electrode was studied in this research. Sm0.2Ce0.8O1.9 (SDC) and Sm0.5Sr0.5CoO3−δ (SSC) nanoparticles were introduced into the LSM oxygen electrode. The polarization resistance of the one-time alternate LSM-SDC-SSC1 oxygen electrode at 800°C is 0.49 Ω·cm2, which is 43% of the LSM oxygen electrode. The effect of infiltration sequence of SDC and SSC on the morphology and properties of the electrode decrease with the increase of impregnation time. The two-time alternate LSM-SDC-SSC2 oxygen electrode show the lowest polarization overpotential and polarization resistance. The Ni-(Y2O3)0.08(ZrO2)0.92 (YSZ)/YSZ/LSM-SDC-SSC2 single cell obtain a maximum power density of 870 mW·cm−2 in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) mode and a maximum electrolysis current density of −1150 mA·cm−2 in the solid oxide electrolytic cell (SOEC) mode at 800°C, which show good reversible cell performance. -
