Enhancing coking tolerance of flat-tube solid oxide fuel cells for direct power generation with nearly-dry methanol

Junkang Sang et al.

Summary: To enhance the coking tolerance of Ni/yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) anodes in direct methanol solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), two strategies were proposed, which focused on increasing the oxygen storage capacity of the anode and improving methanol conversion. The Ni/YSZ anodes were decorated with nanosized gadolinia-doped ceria (GDC) using wet impregnation, and extra GDC-Ni/YSZ catalyst was filled in the fuel channels. These modifications mitigated carbon deposition, lowered the steam/carbon ratio, and improved the cell durability. The research provides insights into efficient and durable SOFCs using biofuels for large-scale commercial applications.

A novel fluidized-bed-electrode solid-oxide-fuel-cell reactor for N2O catalytic decomposition

Dongxu Cui et al.

Summary: A novel gas-solid phase fluidized bed catalytic electrode was proposed for N2O decomposition in a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system. By using cerium oxide particles coated with lanthanum, strontium, and iron (CeO2-LSF) as the fluidized bed material, N2O conversion rate reached 99.78% at 720 degrees C. Assisting particle fluidization with argon led to a maximum improvement of 39.86% in peak power density at 670 degrees C compared to the fixed bed electrode. Furthermore, the maximum temperature difference inside the reactor decreased significantly from 92 degrees C to 42 degrees C when the cathode particles were fluidized.

Power generation from flat-tube solid oxide fuel cells by direct internal dry reforming of methanol: A route for simultaneous utilization of CO2 and biofuels

Junkang Sang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the feasibility of power generation from flat-tube solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) with direct internal dry reforming of methanol. The effects of CO2/MeOH ratio, temperature, and current density on cell performance and long-term durability were studied. It was found that higher CO2/MeOH ratios reduced the power density, but suppressed carbon deposition and enhanced long-term durability. A cell operated stably over 500 hours with a constant current density of 200 mA/cm2 under CO2/MeOH =1 and 2 at 750 degrees C. In addition to stable power generation, simultaneous syngas production and reduction in CO2 emissions were achieved. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations provided insights into the possible pathways for methanol dry reforming and the mechanism of carbon removal.

Tuning exsolution of nanoparticles in defect engineered layered perovskite oxides for efficient CO2 electrolysis

Zhengrong Liu et al.

Summary: In this study, Ni-doped layered perovskite oxides (La4Srn_4)0.9Ti0.9nNi0.1nO3n+2 with different values of n (5, 8, and 12) were investigated as catalysts for CO2 electrolysis. It was found that Ni doping significantly enhanced the electrochemical activity by increasing oxygen vacancies and providing more active sites. The results showed that the activity of the LSTNn cathodes could be manipulated by controlling the n number and Ni exsolution, with LSTN8 demonstrating the highest activity for CO2 electrolysis at 800℃ and 2.0 V.

Shengli Pang et al.

Summary: Here, we report a new discovery of self-cleaning perovskite catalyst surfaces, where enriched Ba and Fe ions spontaneously agglomerate into dispersed Ba5Fe2O8 nanoparticles, maintaining a highly active and durable perovskite structure. The electrochemically inert Ba5Fe2O8 segregation layer achieves self-cleaning by regulating the formation energy of enriched metal oxides. The self-cleaned perovskite surface exhibits ultrafast oxygen exchange rate, high catalytic activity, and good adaptability to actual working conditions of solid oxide fuel cell stacks.

In-situ analysis of anode atmosphere in a flat-tube solid oxide fuel cell operated with dry reforming of methane

Gang Yang et al.

Summary: In this study, real-time visualization of the gas distribution inside a large flat-tube SOFC was achieved by combining built-in gas sampling tubes with external gas chromatography. The decrease in catalytic activity for methane dry reforming during long-term testing was found to differ in different regions of the cell and was related to local carbon deposition and sintering of Ni particles. The mechanism of cell performance degradation under methane dry reforming conditions was discussed based on these experimental results.

Operando observations of active three phase boundary of patterned nickel- Yttria stabilized zirconia electrode in solid oxide cell

Zhufeng Ouyang et al.

Summary: The microstructure instability of nickel-stabilized zirconia fuel electrode in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) is a challenge for commercialization. In this study, operando observations were conducted to study the mobility of nickel on the YSZ surface under different operation modes. The results showed that nickel phase dynamically spreads and splits up only under the SOFC mode, while this phenomenon is not observed under the SOEC mode. Nickel coarsening occurs regardless of the operation mode.

Satoru Sakama et al.

Summary: This study experimentally investigated the influence of electrochemical reactions on carbon deposition in solid oxide fuel cells using methane as fuel. The results showed that electrochemical reactions play an important role in suppressing carbon deposition by providing oxygen ions and increasing water concentration inside the anode. The amount of H2O supplied in fuel and the amount of oxygen ion produced by electrochemical reaction are the determining factors for carbon deposition.
