Abstract
- [Display omitted] Lowering the operating temperatures of solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is critical, although achieving success in this endeavor has proven challenging. Herein, Bi 0.15 Sr 0.85 Co 0.8 Fe 0.2 O 3−δ (BiSCF) is systematically evaluated as a carbon dioxide (CO 2)-tolerant and highly active cathode for SOFCs. BiSCF, which features Bi3+ with an ionic radius similar to Ba2+, exhibits activity (e.g., 0.062 Ω cm2 at 700 °C) comparable to that of Ba 0.5 Sr 0.5 Co 0.8 Fe 0.2 O 3−δ and PrBaCo 2 O 5+δ , while demonstrating a considerable advantage over Bi-doped cathodes. Moreover, BiSCF exhibits long-term stability over a period of 500 h, and an anode-supported cell with BiSCF achieves a power density of 912 mW cm−2 at 650 °C. The CO 2 -poisoned BiSCF exhibits quick reversibility or slight activation after returning to normal conditions. The exceptional CO 2 tolerance of BiSCF can be attributed to its reduced basicity and high electronegativity, which effectively restrict surface Sr diffusion and hinder subsequent carbonate formation. These findings highlight the substantial potential of BiSCF for SOFCs operating below 700 °C. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
