Abstract:
In the development of nanoscale oxygen electrodes of high-temperature solid oxide cells (SOCs), the interface formed between the nanoelectrode particles and the electrolyte or electrolyte scaffolds is the most critical. In this work, a new synthesis technique for the fabrication of nanostructured electrodes via in situ electrochemical polarization treatment is reported. The lanthanum strontium cobalt ferrite (LSCF) precursor solution is infiltrated into a gadolinia-doped ceria (GDC) scaffold presintered on a yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte, followed by in situ polarization current treatment at SOC operation temperatures. Electrode ohmic and polarization resistances decrease with an increase in the polarization current treatment. Detailed microstructure analysis indicates the formation of a convex-shaped interface between the LSCF nanoparticles (NPs) and the GDC scaffold, very different from the flat contact between LSCF and GDC observed after heating at 800 degrees C with no polarization current treatment. The embedded LSCF NPs on the GDC scaffold contribute to the superior stability under both fuel cell and electrolysis operation conditions at 750 degrees C and a high peak power density of 1.58 W cm(-2) at 750 degrees C. This work highlights a novel and facile route to in situ construct a stable and high-performing nanostructured electrode for SOCs.
