Abstract

作为固体氧化物燃料电池(SOFC)最成功的阴极材料之一, Sr掺 杂的LaMnO3材料在高温下表现良好. 但其阴极活性随着工作温度的降 低而剧烈下降, 不适用于中温SOFC. 本工作通过TiO2修饰传统 La0.5Sr0.5MnO3−δ (LSM)阴极形成LSM + TiO2阴极. TiO2可以改变LSM/ TiO2界面的电子结构, 使得界面处氧原子发生电荷积聚, 促进了氧空位 的形成, 从而提升了氧扩散能力. 使用LSM + TiO2阴极的质子导体 SOFC (H-SOFC)的性能要明显高于单独使用LSM或者TiO2阴极的性 能, 证明了LSM和TiO2的协同效应. 使用LSM + TiO2阴极的H-SOFC单 电池性能在700°C时达到1118 mW cm−2, 是使用LSM基阴极的H-SOFC 单电池性能的最高值. 此外, LSM + TiO2对CO2和水蒸汽具有良好的稳 定性, 使其在工作中表现出良好的稳定性. LSM + TiO2阴极的使用解决 了传统LSM阴极在H-SOFC中性能较差的问题, 同时保持了LSM基材料 良好的稳定性.
