摘要
In this paper, a composite cathode material consisted of 70 wt % La2NiO4+delta and 30 wt % Ce0.55La0.45O2-delta (LNO-LDC) was synthesized by co-synthesized method. The LNO-LDC composite cathode was coated on Sm0.2Ce0.8O1.9 electrolyte and its electrochemical performance was evaluated. The co-synthesized LNO-LDC cathode showed excellent electrochemical performance, demonstrating a polarization resistance of 0.06 Omega cm(2) at 800 degrees C, which is significantly lower than that of physically mixed LNO-LDC composite cathode under the same operating condition. The enhanced electrochemical performance was mainly due to the reduced particle size and improved dispersion uniformity of the two phases, leading to increase of the two phase boundary (2 PB) and triple-phase boundary (3 PB). Furthermore, impedance spectra under various oxygen partial pressure determined that the rate-determining step of the co-synthesized LNO-LDC cathode is the charge transfer process. The obtained results indicated that co-synthesized method is a simple and effective method to fabricate high-performance LNO-LDC composite for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs).
