Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) with La0.3Sr0.7TiO3 (LST)-yttria-stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ) anodes were prepared and modified with Ni, Pt, Pd, Fe, Co, and CeO2, with even small loadings of Pt, Ni, and Pd significantly decreasing anode impedances for operation in humidified H-2 at 973 K. The effects of CeO2, Co, and Fe were also observed, with sintering at higher temperatures being important for performance improvement. Ways of stabilizing metal particles and implications for developing ceramic anodes were also discussed.
Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) with La0.3Sr0.7TiO3 (LST)-yttria-stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ) anodes were prepared by impregnation of LST into porous YSZ scaffolds and then modified by Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) of Ni, Pt, Pd, Fe, Co. and CeO2. Weight loadings as low as 0.01% of Pt, Ni, and Pd were sufficient to decrease anode impedances by orders of magnitude for operation in humidified H-2 at 973 K. The effects of CeO2, Co, and Fe were less but still significant. Sintering at higher temperatures was important. Possible ways of stabilizing the metal particles and implications for developing ceramic anodes are discussed.
