A comprehensive investigation of direct ammonia-fueled thin-film solid-oxide fuel cells: Performance, limitation, and prospects.

Project description:Ammonia is a promising carbon-free hydrogen carrier. Owing to their nickel-rich anodes and high operating temperatures, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) can directly utilize NH3 fuel-direct-ammonia SOFCs (DA-SOFCs). Lowering the operating temperature can diversify application areas of DA-SOFCs. We tested direct-ammonia operation using two types of thin-film SOFCs (TF-SOFCs) under 500 to 650°C and compared these with a conventional SOFC. The TF-SOFC with a nickel oxide gadolinium-doped ceria anode achieved a peak power density of 1330 mW cm-2 (NH3 fuel under 650°C), which is the best performance reported to date. However, the performance difference between the NH3 and H2 operations was significant. Electrochemical impedance analyses, ammonia conversion quantification, and two-dimensional multi-physics modeling suggested that reduced ammonia conversion at low temperatures is the main cause of the performance gap. A comparative study with previously reported DA-SOFCs clarified that incorporating a more active ammonia decomposition catalyst will further improve low-temperature DA-SOFCs.

Novel Mg-Doped SrMoO₃ Perovskites Designed as Anode Materials for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells.

Project description:SrMo1-xMxO3-δ (M = Fe and Cr, x = 0.1 and 0.2) oxides have been recently described as excellent anode materials for solid oxide fuel cells at intermediate temperatures (IT-SOFC) with LSGM as the electrolyte. In this work, we have improved their properties by doping with aliovalent Mg ions at the B-site of the parent SrMoO₃ perovskite. SrMo1-xMgxO3-δ (x = 0.1, 0.2) oxides have been prepared, characterized and tested as anode materials in single solid-oxide fuel cells, yielding output powers near 900 mW/cm-2 at 850 °C using pure H₂ as fuel. We have studied its crystal structure with an "in situ" neutron power diffraction (NPD) experiment at temperatures as high as 800 °C, emulating the working conditions of an SOFC. Adequately high oxygen deficiencies, observed by NPD, together with elevated disk-shaped anisotropic displacement factors suggest a high ionic conductivity at the working temperatures. Furthermore, thermal expansion measurements, chemical compatibility with the LSGM electrolyte, electronic conductivity and reversibility upon cycling in oxidizing-reducing atmospheres have been carried out to find out the correlation between the excellent performance as an anode and the structural features.

Al-Doped SrMoO<sub>3</sub> Perovskites as Promising Anode Materials in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells.

Project description:Two perovskite materials with SrMo1-xAlxO3-δ (x = 0.1, 0.2) compositions have been synthesized by reduction from the corresponding scheelite phases, with SrMo1-xAlxO4-δ stoichiometry; the pertinent characterization shows that the defective perovskites can be used as anode materials in solid oxide fuel cells, providing maximum output power densities of 633 mW/cm2 for x = 0.2. To correlate structure and properties, a neutron powder diffraction investigation was carried out for both perovskite and scheelite phases. Both perovskites are cubic, defined in the Pm-3m space group, displaying a random distribution of Mo and Al cations over the 1a sites of the structure. The introduction of Al at Mo positions produced conspicuous amounts of oxygen vacancies in the perovskite, detected by neutrons. This is essential to induce ionic diffusion, providing a mixed ionic and electronic conduction (MIEC), since in MIEC electrodes, charge carriers are combined in one single phase and the ionic conductivity can be one order of magnitude higher than in a conventional material. The thermal expansion coefficients of the reduced and oxidized samples demonstrated that these materials perfectly match with the La0.8Sr0.2Ga0.83Mg0.17O3-δ electrolyte, La0.4Ce0.6O2-δ buffer layer and other components of the cell. Scanning electron microscopy after the test in a real solid oxide fuel cell showed a very dense electrolyte and porous electrodes, essential requirements for this type of fuel. SrMo1-xAlxO3-δ perovskites are, thus, a good replacement of conventional biphasic cermet anodes in solid oxide fuel cells.

Electric Fields and Charge Separation for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Electrodes.

Project description:Activation losses at solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) electrodes have been widely attributed to charge transfer at the electrode surface. The electrostatic nature of electrode-gas interactions allows us to study these phenomena by simulating an electric field across the electrode-gas interface, where we are able to describe the activation overpotential using density functional theory (DFT). The electrostatic responses to the electric field are used to approximate the behavior of an electrode under electrical bias and have found a correlation with experimental data for three different reduction reactions at mixed ionic-electronic conducting (MIEC) electrode surfaces (H2O and CO2 on CeO2; O2 on LaFeO3). In this work, we demonstrate the importance of decoupled ion-electron transfer and charged adsorbates on the performance of electrodes under nonequilibrium conditions. Finally, our findings on MIEC-gas interactions have potential implications in the fields of energy storage and catalysis.

Temperature Gradient Control of the Solid Oxide Fuel Cell under Variable Load.

Project description:Nowadays, the temperature gradient is considered as one of the most important parameters which impact the performance of the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). In this paper, a control strategy based on an input-output feedback linearization technology is derived for controlling the maximum temperature gradient within the anode fuel flow channel at the desired value. For the controller design, the temperature dynamic model is proposed and simplified to a control-oriented multi-input and multioutput nonlinear dynamic model. Then, this paper presents an input-output feedback linearization controller to realize the control objective by adjusting the cathode input air flow. Finally, the simulation results are given to demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed model in reflecting the temperature dynamic characteristics. Moreover, the compound controller is added for simulation as a comparison, which shows that the proposed controller is equipped with better effectiveness and efficiency in the presence of external disturbances.

Operando analysis of a solid oxide fuel cell by environmental transmission electron microscopy.

Project description:Correlating the microstructure of an energy conversion device to its performance is often a complex exercise, notably in solid oxide fuel cell research. Solid oxide fuel cells combine multiple materials and interfaces that evolve in time due to high operating temperatures and reactive atmospheres. We demonstrate here that operando environmental transmission electron microscopy can identify structure-property links in such devices. By contacting a cathode-electrolyte-anode cell to a heating and biasing microelectromechanical system in a single-chamber configuration, a direct correlation is found between the environmental conditions (oxygen and hydrogen partial pressures, temperature), the cell open circuit voltage, and the microstructural evolution of the fuel cell, down to the atomic scale. The results shed important insights into the impact of the anode oxidation state and its morphology on the cell electrical properties.

Evaluation of Ca3Co2O6 as cathode material for high-performance solid-oxide fuel cell.

Project description:A cobalt-based thermoelectric compound Ca(3)Co(2)O(6) (CCO) has been developed as new cathode material with superior performance for intermediate-temperature (IT) solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC). Systematic evaluation has been carried out. Measurement of thermal expansion coefficient (TEC), thermal-stress (?) and interfacial shearing stress (?) with the electrolyte show that CCO matches well with several commonly-used IT electrolytes. Maximum power density as high as 1.47 W cm(-2) is attained at 800°C, and an additional thermoelectric voltage of 11.7 mV is detected. The superior electrochemical performance, thermoelectric effect, and comparable thermal and mechanical behaviors with the electrolytes make CCO to be a promising cathode material for SOFC.

Progress and prospects for accelerating materials science with automated and autonomous workflows.

Project description:Accelerating materials research by integrating automation with artificial intelligence is increasingly recognized as a grand scientific challenge to discover and develop materials for emerging and future technologies. While the solid state materials science community has demonstrated a broad range of high throughput methods and effectively leveraged computational techniques to accelerate individual research tasks, revolutionary acceleration of materials discovery has yet to be fully realized. This perspective review presents a framework and ontology to outline a materials experiment lifecycle and visualize materials discovery workflows, providing a context for mapping the realized levels of automation and the next generation of autonomous loops in terms of scientific and automation complexity. Expanding autonomous loops to encompass larger portions of complex workflows will require integration of a range of experimental techniques as well as automation of expert decisions, including subtle reasoning about data quality, responses to unexpected data, and model design. Recent demonstrations of workflows that integrate multiple techniques and include autonomous loops, combined with emerging advancements in artificial intelligence and high throughput experimentation, signal the imminence of a revolution in materials discovery.

Sol-Gel Combustion-Assisted Electrostatic Spray Deposition for Durable Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Cathodes.

Project description:The chemical instability of perovskite oxides containing Sr is a critical issue for the long-term operation of solid oxide fuel cells. In this study, we demonstrate a remarkable improvement in the chemical and electrochemical stability of a heterostructured La0.6Sr0.4CoO3-δ (LSC)-Ce0.9Gd0.1O1.95 (GDC) electrode. Electrostatic spray deposition was employed to fabricate heterostructured nanoparticles in a single step with a coaxial nozzle supplying the LSC powders in the core nozzle and the GDC precursors in the shell nozzle. Moreover, the reducing fuel added to the GDC precursor solution induced the sol-gel combustion reaction in the droplet to form a uniform nanocrystalline GDC coating with high surface coverage. The high surface coverage of GDC on the LSC more significantly improved long-term stability compared with than of the bare LSC cathode at a constant current density of 1 A/cm2 at 600°C for 100 h.
