The paper presents the results of an investigation into thin single- and triple-layer ZrO2-Sc2O3-based electrolytes prepared using the tape-casting technique in combination with promising electrodes based on La2NiO4+δ and Ni-Ce0.8Sm0.2O2-δ materials. It is shown that pressing and joint sintering of single electrolyte layers allows multilayer structures to be obtained that are free of defects at the layer interface. Electrical conductivity measurements of a triple-layer electrolyte carried out in longitudinal and transverse directions with both direct and alternating current showed resistance of the interface between the layers on the total resistance of the electrolyte to be minimal. Long-term tests have shown that the greatest degradation in resistance over time occurs in the case of an electrolyte with a tetragonal structure. Symmetrical electrochemical cells with electrodes fabricated using a screen-printing method were examined by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The polarization resistance of the electrodes was 0.45 and 0.16 Ohm∙cm2 at 800 °C for the fuel and oxygen electrodes, respectively. The distribution of relaxation times method was applied for impedance data analysis. During tests of a single solid oxide fuel cell comprising a supporting triple-layer electrolyte having a thickness of 300 microns, a power density of about 160 mW/cm2 at 850 °C was obtained using wet hydrogen as fuel and air as an oxidizing gas.

The oxygen surface kinetics of Sr2Fe1.5Mo0.5O6−δ was determined using the 16O2/18O2 isotope exchange method with gas phase analysis at 600–800 °C. The heterogeneous exchange rates (rH) and the oxygen diffusion coefficients (D) were calculated by processing the concentration dependences of the 18O fraction using Ezin’s model. The rates of oxygen dissociative adsorption (ra) and incorporation (ri) were calculated based on a model using the three exchange type rates. It has been established that the rates ra and ri were comparable in this temperature range. Assumptions were made about the effect of the chemical composition of the surface on the rate of oxygen adsorption. It was found that the oxygen exchange coefficient (k) of Sr2Fe1.5Mo0.5O6−δ is comparable to that of La0.6Sr0.4MnO3±δ oxide. High values of the oxygen diffusion coefficient were found for Sr2Fe1.5Mo0.5O6−δ. The values were comparable to those of the double cobaltite praseodymium-barium and exceed by more than an order those of lanthanum-strontium manganite. Full article

This article is devoted to the development of the direct resistive heating of oxygen transport membranes technique. In this case, DC was selected to perform direct heating. The effect of DC on the oxygen fluxes and the microstructure of the membrane was studied. It is shown that in the short-term experiment with DC, a positive significant effect on the oxygen transport was found, while sample exposure under the influence of DC for a long period of time had a significant negative effect on the microstructure of the membrane.

: Two grades of chromium-free alloys were studied in order to apply them as interconnectors for solid oxide fuel cells. The surface modification methods were proposed for each alloy with the purpose of forming of oxide scales considering the required physicochemical properties. Investigations of the structure and properties of the obtained oxide scales were performed and the efficiency of the chosen surface modification methods was approved. The samples with the surface modification exhibited higher conductivity values in comparison with the nonmodified samples. A compatibility study of samples with surface modification and glass sealant of chosen composition was accomplished. The modified samples demonstrated good adhesion during testing and electrical resistance less than 40 mOhm/cm2 at 850 °C in air, which allowed us to recommend these alloys with respective modified oxide scales as interconnectors for SOFC.

The design of new electrode materials for solid oxide electrochemical cells, which are stable against redox processes as well as exhibiting carbon/sulphur tolerance and high electronic conductivity, is a matter of considerable current interest as a means of overcoming the disadvantages of traditional Ni-containing cermets. In the present work, composite materials having the general formula (1−x)Sr2Mg0.25Ni0.75MoO6−δ + xNiO (where x = 0, 15, 30, 50, 70 and 85 mol.%) were successfully prepared to be utilised in solid oxide fuel cells. A detailed investigation of the thermal, electrical, and microstructural properties of these composites, along with their phase stability in oxidising and reducing atmospheres, was carried out. While possessing low thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) values, the composites having low Ni content (15 mol.%–70 mol.%) did not satisfy the requirement of high electronic conductivity. Conversely, the 15Sr2Mg0.25Ni0.75MoO6−δ + 85NiO samples demonstrated very high electrical conductivity (489 S sm−1 at 850 °C in wet H2) due to well-developed Ni-based networks, and no deterioration of thermal properties (TEC values of 15.4 × 10−6 K−1 in air and 14.5 × 10−6 K−1 in 50%H2/Ar; linear expansion behaviour in both atmospheres). Therefore, this material has potential for use as a component of a fuel cell electrode system. Full article

The single-phase oxide PrBaCo2O6−δ and composites (100 − y)PrBaCo2O6−δ-yCe0.8Sm0.2O1.9 (y = 10–30 wt.%) were investigated as cathode materials for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells. The chemical compatibility, cation interdiffusion, thermal expansion and dc conductivity were studied. As a result, strong interdiffusion of Pr and Sm was found between PrBaCo2O6−δ and Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.9. This leads to only insignificantly decreasing thermal expansion coefficient of composite with increasing fraction of Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.9 and, thus, mixing PrBaCo2O6−δ with Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.9 does not improve thermal expansion behavior of the cathode material. Moreover, formation of poorly-conducting BaCeO3, caused by chemical interaction between the double perovskite and doped ceria, was shown to lead to pronounced drop in the electrical conductivity of the composite cathode material with increasing Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.9 content.
