Ni-doped La2O3 demonstrates improved ionic conductivity and electrochemical performance for advanced fuel cell applications. Element-doping of wide-band gap semiconductors can tune their properties to be promising ionic conductors.
Ni-doped La2O3 was developed as an ionic conducting membrane corresponding to a conductivity of 0.187 S cm(-1) at 550 degrees C. A peak power density of 970 mW cm(-2) with an open circuit voltage of 1.05 V was achieved using 10 mol% Ni-doped La2O3 (10NLO). XPS and Raman investigations reveal that the performance enhancement is due to the high concentration of oxygen vacancies. Density functional theory calculations verify that Ni doping can tune the band structure of La2O3 to enhance its electrochemical performance. A Schottky junction barrier is formed at the anode to avoid short circuit problems and facilitate the ionic transportation at the anode/electrolyte interface. This study indicates that wide-band gap semiconductors with suitable element-doping can be tuned to be promising ionic conductors for advanced fuel cell applications.
