Description

Electrolyte of solid oxide fuel cell and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of fuel cells, in particular to an electrolyte of a solid oxide fuel cell and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) are highly efficient clean energy conversion devices that can directly convert chemical energy into electrical energy. The study of SOFC is of great significance facing the challenges of today's environmental and energy issues. However, commercial applications of SOFCs face the challenges of higher operating temperatures and expensive manufacturing costs, and compared to conventional oxygen ion conducting solid oxide fuel cells (O-SOFCs), proton conducting oxides are promising electrolyte candidates for moderate temperature SOFCs due to their low activation energy and high ionic conductivity.
BaCeO of perovskite structure3Has the advantages of high proton conductivity, high fuel utilization rate and the like, so the material is a proton conduction type oxide fuel cell (H-SOFC) electrolyte material mainly used at present. The doped barium cerate-based perovskite structure oxide has higher conductivity which can reach more than 0.01S/cm at 600 ℃. But in the presence of H2O or CO2The stability under the atmosphere is poor, and impurities are easily generated to cause the failure of the whole battery. In contrast, the doped barium zirconate-based oxide has strong chemical stability, but its conductivity is reduced due to its poor sintering property. Thus, BaZrO3-BaCeO3Perovskite-based oxides have been investigated as electrolytes to balance conductivity and stability. However, high-temperature sintering and long-term heat treatment cause evaporation of barium oxide, thereby lowering conductivity, and the sintering temperature is high when preparing the electrolyte sheet, resulting in a large increase in operation cost. Therefore, it is of great significance to research an electrolyte material with low sintering temperature and high conductivity.
In view of this, the invention is particularly proposed.
