Anion Fluorine-Doped La0.6Sr0.4Fe0.8Ni0.2O3-δ Perovskite Cathodes with Enhanced Electrocatalytic Activity for Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cell Direct CO2 Electrolysis

Caichen Yang et al.

Summary: Solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) is a promising device for energy conversion by efficiently converting CO2 to CO for renewable energy storage. Developing active and stable cathode catalysts for CO2 reduction reaction (CO2-RR) is crucial for SOECs. In this study, fluorine doping on La0.6Sr0.4Fe0.8Ni0.2O3-delta (LSFN) cathode catalyst was investigated to enhance its electrocatalytic performance for CO2-RR. The results showed that F-doped LSFN had more oxygen vacancies and better CO2 adsorption ability, leading to improved electrolysis current density and durability. Mechanistic analysis revealed that F-doping promoted the formation of intermediates and the rate-determining step of the reaction. This work demonstrates the potential of anion-doped LSFNF0.1 as a promising cathode catalyst for SOEC direct CO2 electrolysis and provides insights for future development of cathode catalysts for SOECs.

Exsolution-Driven Surface Transformation in the Host Oxide

Jiayue Wang et al.

Summary: Exsolution synthesizes self-assembled metal nanoparticle catalysts via phase precipitation. This method has so far overlooked the impact of exsolution on the surface chemistry and structure of the host oxide, which plays an important role in the overall catalytic activity.
