摘要
ASolid Oxide Electrolysis (SOE) short stack consisting of anode-supported cells (ASCs in fuel cell mode) was assembled in JULICH's F10-design. ASCs are based on Ni/8YSZ (8 mol-% yttria-stabilized zirconia) with an LSCF air electrode (La0.58Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-delta) and 8YSZ electrolyte. A gadolinium-doped ceria (GDC) (Ce0.8Gd0.2O1.9) barrier layer was deposited between 8YSZ and LSCF by means of physical vapor deposition (PVD). The stack was mainly characterized in a furnace environment in both fuel cell and electrolysis modes, with 50% humidified H-2 at 700 and 800 degrees C. An endothermic long-term electrolysis operation was carried out at 800 degrees C with a current density of -0.5 Acm(-2) and steam conversion rate of 50%. After 2300 h of operation, the stack showed an average voltage degradation rate of 0.7%/kh. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and analysis of the distribution function of relaxation times (DRT) showed that the degradation was primarily due to the increase in ohmic resistance.
