Performance of LSCM-CDC Composite Anode for ITSOFC
摘要
It was prepared by glycine-nitrate process (GNP) method for a novel composite material La0.7Sr0.3Cr0.5Mn0.5O3-δ-Ce0.8Ca0.2O2-δ (LSCM-CDC) used for anode of intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell (ITSOFC). The microstructure and properties of composite anode LSCM-CDC were measured via X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), AC impedance and four-probe direct current methods. Fluorite-perovskite compounded phase structure was obtained after being sintered at 1400 ℃ for 15 h, the optimum composition of the composite anode of LSCM and CDC was 7 to 3 at molar ratio. At 850 ℃, the electronic conductivity was 6.49 S·cm-1 in air and 1 S·cm-1 in the reduction atmosphere, respectively. The AC impedance spectra with two arcs showed that LSCM-CDC had low ionic conductivity, which was about two orders of magnitude lower than the electronic conductivity. LSCM-CDC composite anode was stable under different temperatures in pure methane gas with good catalytic performance, which indicated that the composite was a promising anode for ITSOFC.
