The effect of anode structure on the performance of NiO-BaZr0.1Ce0.7Y0.2O3-δ supported ceria-based solid oxide fuel cells
Tóm tắt
In this work, two asymmetric NiO-BaZr0.1Ce0.7Y0.2O3-δ (NiO-BZCY) anode substrates were prepared via the phase-inversion tape casting method for Ce0.8Sm0.2O2-δ (SDC)-based solid oxide fuel cells. The results showed that the anode support structure significantly influenced the electrochemical properties of the cells. The cell supported on the anode substrate consisted of a finger-like layer and a sponge-like layer outputs highest electrochemical performance with a maximum power density of 823 mW cm−2 at 650 °C and shows great superiority over the cell fabricated by a typical dry-pressing method. The excellent performances demonstrate that the phase-inversion tape casting technique is a good strategy in fabricating anode supports for SOFCs, and the anode structure with the relatively dense sponge-like layer as top surface is optimal to construct the complete cell.
