Abstract:
Ammonia-fueled solid oxide fuel cell (NH3-SOFC) presents a synergistic avenue towards renewable energy yet it remains challenging due to the sluggish kinetics of NH3 electro-oxidation in traditional Nickel–yttria stabilized zirconia (Ni–YSZ). Herein, we employ La1-xSrxFeO3-δ (LSF) via Sr2+ substitution strategy in classical LaFeO3 perovskite as anode, aiming to boost energy power generation for NH3-SOFC. Interestingly, the structure of LSF transforms from single perovskite to Ruddlesden-Popper (R-P) layered perovskite with exsolution of Fe nanoparticles while no phase change in LaFeO3 is found under reducing conditions. Such a Sr-induced structural evolution can throttle the H2 adsorption capacity to retard the “hydrogen poisoning” behavior and endow LSF with medium-strong basic sites, facilitating efficient recombination of N atoms into N2 molecules for NH3 electro-oxidation. The R-P structure perovskite LSF induces changes in charge density, facilitating the accommodation of abundant oxygen vacancies. The release of active Fe nanoparticles promotes the exposure of active sites, enhancing electron transfer and resulting in high catalytic performance and excellent stability. As a result, the maximum power output of LSF anode using NH3 reaches 98 % of that of H2 and is 3.7 times higher than that of Ni-YSZ. The preferential NH3 oxidation mechanism is proposed in view of relaxation time distribution as well as Bode plots. © 2025
