Abstract:
Perovskite oxide Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3‒δ (BSCF) is a highly active cathode material widely studied for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs), however, the tendency of phase transition of BSCF under IT-SOFC operating conditions poses a critical challenge for its reliable applications. Here, a multiphase BSCF-Gd0.1Ce0.9O1.95 (GDC) nanocomposite with heterogeneous interfaces is synthesized at a relatively low calcination temperature of 750 °C. Both the multiphase composition and microstructural morphology of the nanocomposite are very stable during annealing at 750 °C. The unique multiphase structure and ultrafine microstructure of the nanocomposite can be maintained in the resultant cathode through a sintering-free direct assembly fabrication method. As a consequence, a corresponding single cell based on the BSCF-GDC nanocomposite cathode generates a maximum power density of 1.41 W cm−2 at 750 °C with outstanding galvanostatic stability for 100 h. This work provides an effective means for the design and utilization of highly active BSCF-based nanocomposite cathodes for durable IT-SOFCs. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.
