Abstract:
In this study, pyrochlore Pr2B2O7 oxides (B--Zr, ZrSn, Sn, PZO/PZSO/PSO) and perovskite (B--Ti, PTO) were prepared as direct ammonia solid oxide fuel cell (DA-SOFC) cathode with oxygen reduction reaction activity induced by B-site cationic defects. Compared with PTO, the pyrochlore PBO with unoccupied 8a-oxygen sites are high in inherent oxygen vacancies (ca. 12.5%), leading to enhanced migration of lattice oxygen. Among the ntype semiconductors, PZO is with a more negative flat-band potential and is more effective in terms of overcoming energy barriers. As a result, the conductivity of PZO is two orders of magnitude higher than that of PTO at 800 degrees C. The oxygen transport performance reveals that the surface exchange coefficient of PZO is about one order of magnitude higher than that of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3-delta at 900 degrees C. Owing to high conductivity, fast oxygen transport, and matched thermal expansion coefficient, an anode-supported DA-SOFC using the PZO-based cathode can offer a maximum power density of 0.25 W cm-2 at 600 degrees C and 1.22 W cm-2 at 800 degrees C, operating continuously over 100 h without obvious degradation. The electrochemical performance is 2.3 folds higher than those of SOFCs using other PBO-based cathode, and higher than most reported SOFCs with the cathodes using A-site Pr.
