Electrochemical performance of La2NiO4+δ cathode for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract The application of the La 2 NiO 4+ δ (LNO), one of the Ruddlesden–Popper series materials, as a cathode material for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells is investigated in detail. LNO is synthesized via a complex method using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and citric acid. The effect of the calcination temperature of the LNO powder and the sintering temperature of the LNO cathode layer on the anode-supported cell, Ni–YSZ/YSZ/GDC/LNO, is characterized in view of the charge transfer resistance and the mass transfer resistance. Charge transfer resistance was not significantly affected by calcination and sintering temperature when the sintering temperature was not lower than the calcination temperature. Mass transfer resistance was primarily governed by the sintering temperature. The unit cell with the LNO cathode sintered at 1100 °C with 900 °C-calcined powder presented the lowest polarization resistance for all the measured temperatures and exhibited the highest fuel cell performances, with values of 1.25, 0.815, 0.485, and 0.263 W cm −2 for temperatures of 800, 750, 700, and 650 °C, respectively.
