Recent advances in composite materials, especially semiconductor materials incorporating ionic conductor materials, have significantly improved the performance of low-temperature fuel cells. The combination of semiconductor LNCA and ionic Sm-doped ceria composite electrolyte has shown a remarkable power improvement, demonstrating a new fuel cell working principle and simplifying technologies for a new generation of fuel cells.
Recent advances in composite materials, especially semiconductor materials incorporating ionic conductor materials, have led to significant improvements in the performance of low-temperature fuel cells. In this paper, we present a semiconductor LNCA (LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2-delta) which is often used as electrode material and ionic Sm-doped ceria (SDC; Ce0.8Sm0.2O2-delta) composite electrolyte, sandwiched between LNCA thin-layer electrodes in a configuration of Ni-LNCA/SDC-LNCA/LNCA-Ni. The incorporation of the semiconductor LNCA into the SDC electrolyte with optimized weight ratios resulted in a significant power improvement, from 345 mW cm(-2) with a pure SDC electrolyte to 995 mW cm(-2) with the ionic-semiconductor SDC-LNCA one where the corresponding ionic conductivity reaches 0.255 S cm(-1) at 550 degrees C. Interestingly, the coexistence of ionic and electron conduction in the SDC-LNCA membrane displayed not any electronic short-circuiting but enhanced the device power outputs. This study demonstrates a new fuel cell working principle and simplifies technologies of applying functional ionic-semiconductor membranes and symmetrical electrodes to replace conventional electrolyte and electrochemical technologies for a new generation of fuel cells, different from the conventional complex anode, electrolyte, and cathode configuration.
