Low temperature processed composite cathodes for Solid-oxide fuel Cells
Low temperature processed composite cathodes for solid-state fuel cell (SOFC) have been developed, consisting of La(0.6)Sr(0.4)Ti(0.1)Fe(0.9)O(3) and Ag, as low as 800 degrees C process temperature. Using micro-tubular design, the performances of the cathodes have been investigated at the operating temperatures of 650 and 700 degrees C. The cell consists of NiO-Y stabilized zirconia (YSZ) as an anode (support tube), Sc stabilized zirconia (ScSZ) as an electrolyte, Gd doped ceria (GDC) for an inter-layer between the electrolyte and the cathodes. The single performance has varied depending upon the types of cathodes, and the composite cathode with 50 wt% La(0.6)Sr(0.4)Ti(0.1)Fe(0.9)O(3) and 50 wt% Ag has shown comparable performance to the cell with standard LSCF-GDC cathode.
