Abstract
- The sluggish kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and susceptibility to CO 2 poisoning present significant challenges in the application of intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs). In this study, bismuth (Bi) was introduced as a dopant for the first time to enhance both the ORR activity and CO 2 tolerance of PrBaCoCuO 5+ δ (PBCCO) cathode. Bi doping serves to concurrently modulate the oxygen vacancy content and carrier concentration. This dual regulation enhances the processes of oxygen adsorption, dissociation, and charge transfer, as evidenced by the distribution of relaxation time (DRT) technique. Furthermore, PBBCCO demonstrates exceptional CO 2 tolerance and remarkable performance recovery following exposure to CO 2 -induced degradation. At 800 °C, the polarization resistance (R p) and maximum power density (MPD) of PBBCCO were 0.026 Ω cm2 and 631 mW cm−2, respectively. Notably, R p was reduced by 52.45%, and MPD exhibited an improvement of 45.11% at 800 °C. These findings highlight the significant impact of Bi doping on the performance of the PBCCO double perovskite cathode, underscoring its crucial importance for future developments of novel cathode materials.
