Background
Because the traditional fossil fuel is not renewable and the environmental pollution caused in the using process is serious, the search for environment-friendly renewable energy is a serious task for people in the 21 st century. The Fuel cell (Fuel cell) is a novel energy technology, which directly converts chemical energy of Fuel into electric energy through electrochemical reaction, and the used Fuel is hydrogen-rich substances such as hydrogen, methanol and hydrocarbons, and has no pollution to the environment, high energy efficiency and high power density, so the Fuel cell has wide application prospect.
Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) belong to the third generation Fuel cells, and are all-Solid-state chemical power generation devices which directly convert chemical energy stored in Fuel and oxidant into electric energy at medium and high temperature with high efficiency and environmental friendliness. The anode functions as a support in the thin-film SOFC, and also functions as a catalyst for the electrochemical reaction of the fuel and provides a reaction interface, and is an essential component of the fuel cell circuit system. The selection of electrode materials and the design of microstructure directly influence the working characteristics of the SOFC, and the performance of the electrode is strongly influenced by the microstructure, temperature, manufacturing process, cell structure and the like besides being related to the composition of the electrode.
Oxides of perovskite structure are of great interest to electrochemical workers because they can maintain stable structure and properties over a wide range of oxygen partial pressures and temperatures, and doped perovskite structure oxides can exhibit mixed conductor performance while having a catalytic effect on fuel oxidation. The traditional perovskite structure oxide such as strontium lanthanum cobaltate has higher oxygen ion conductivity and catalytic performance, the working temperature of the solid oxide fuel cell is mainly concentrated at 600-1000 ℃, and the internal resistance of the thin film is increased and the quality of the thin film is deteriorated due to large difference of thermal expansion coefficients of a cerium oxide-based electrolyte and an electrode layer.
Chinese invention patent application No. 201210090476.X discloses a material for a solid oxide fuel cell, and a cathode and a solid oxide fuel cell containing the material. By doping a transition metal element and/or a lanthanoid element to the perovskite type oxide, high ionic conductivity and a low thermal expansion coefficient can be achieved even in a low temperature region. The scheme minimizes the interlayer thermal mismatch of the battery and improves the stability of the battery by doping the perovskite type oxide, thereby improving the durability of the battery. The scheme minimizes the interlayer thermal mismatch of the battery and improves the stability of the battery by doping the perovskite type oxide, thereby improving the durability of the battery. However, when the transition metal element and/or the lanthanide element is doped into the perovskite type oxide, the purity and the structural stability of the perovskite structure phase structure are easily affected by the doping amount and the preparation atmosphere, the preparation of the pure phase is difficult, and the phase change is easy to occur under the high-temperature condition.
Chinese patent application No. 201510324997.0 discloses a double perovskite type intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell cathode material and a preparation method thereof, wherein required alkaline earth nitrate and the like and a complexing agent are fully mixed in an aqueous solution to obtain gel, and the dried gel is calcined at 500-700 ℃ and 800-950 ℃ respectively. Sintering the calcined powder at 1100-1300 ℃ for 10-20 hours to obtain the corresponding single-phase double perovskite cathode material. The double perovskite structure provided by the invention reduces the thermal expansion coefficient of the cathode material, solves the problem of unstable structure of single Co-based and Fe-based perovskite oxides at high temperature, and improves the stability of the material. However, the double perovskite type material has complex composition, needs high temperature, obtains a better component structure through long-time sintering treatment, and has the problem of low thermal conductivity in application. Therefore, the development of a membrane electrode material with simple preparation process and stable high-temperature structure and performance has very important practical significance for improving the stability of the electrolyte layer and the electrode layer of the membrane electrode in the repeated hot start process.
