This study showed that the activity of a triple conducting BaCo0.4Fe0.4Zr0.1Y0.1O3-s (BCFZY0.1) air cathode was enhanced by the in situ formation of BCFZY0.1 nanoparticles (NPs). The NPs were directly formed during electrolysis measurements from the reaction of BCFZY0.1 with H2O and CO2 in the air, and they were evenly distributed in a porous BCFZY0.1 framework. Under electrolysis conditions at 600 degrees C, the current density increased and stabilized at 1.12 A/cm2 after 400 hours of operation with the hierarchical BCFZY0.1 cathode. Distribution of Relaxation Time (DRT) measurements showed a decrease in polarization resistance over time as NPs formed. SEM and TEM results confirmed the formation of nanoparticles and identified their chemical and structural characteristics as BCFZY0.1 phase.
This study demonstrated that the activity of a triple conducting BaCo0.4Fe0.4Zr0.1Y0.1O3-s (BCFZY0.1) air cathode was improved by in situ formation BCFZY0.1 nanoparticles (NPs). The NPs, directly formed from the reaction of BCFZY0.1 with H2O and CO2 from air under electrolysis measurements conditions, were uniformly distributed in a porous BCFZY0.1 framework. At 600 degrees C, the current density increased and reached a plateau of 1.12 A/cm2 with the hierarchical BCFZY0.1 cathode under electrolysis conditions within 400 h operation. Distribution of Relaxation Time (DRT) measurements found that the polarization resistance decreased over time as NPs were formed. SEM and TEM results confirm the nanoparticle formation, and the chemical and structural features were assigned to a BCFZY0.1 phase.
