LSCF-WO₃ semiconductor composite electrolytes for low-temperature solid oxide fuel cells.

ABSTRACT: The La_0.6Sr_0.4Co_0.2Fe_0.8O_3-δ (LSCF)-WO₃ semiconductor composite was applied as an electrolyte for low-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (LTSOFCs). The study results revealed that the fuel cell could output a maximum power density (P _max) of 812 mW cm^-2 when the weight ratio of LSCF to WO₃ was 8 : 2 (8LSCF-2WO₃), and its open-circuit voltage (OCV) was higher than 1.0 V. This indicated that there was no short circuit problem in this fuel cell device and 80 wt% LSCF existed in the electrolyte layer. This was mainly due to the suppressed electronic conductivity and increased ionic conductivity of the composite as compared with LSCF due to the introduction of the WO₃
