Description

Solid oxide fuel cell anode, preparation method thereof, single cell and electric pile
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of solid oxide fuel cells, and particularly relates to a solid oxide fuel cell anode, a preparation method thereof, a single cell and a galvanic pile.
Background
A Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) is a power generation device that can directly convert chemical energy in fuel into electrical energy. It has the advantages of high energy conversion efficiency, wide fuel selection range, no need of noble metal catalysis, all-solid-state structure and the like, and is considered to be a fuel cell with great development prospect. SOFCs generally consist of three parts, an anode, an electrolyte layer and a cathode. In order to reduce the ohmic internal resistance of the cell, the electrolyte layer, which is an oxygen ion conductor, is usually processed into a thin film, and in this case, it is necessary to use the anode or the cathode as a support structure of the SOFC.
Among a series of similar structures, the use of Ni-YSZ composite cermet as the anode support is currently the most common SOFC cell structure. Wherein, ni provides electron conductance and catalytic activity reaction sites for direct electrochemical oxidation or methane steam reforming; YSZ matches the coefficient of thermal expansion of the anode material to the most common electrolyte material today (8 YSZ) and extends ionic conduction to the reaction zone of the anode; in addition, YSZ acts as a structural support in the anode, giving the anode sufficient mechanical strength and preventing further agglomeration and growth of Ni in long-term high temperature working environments.
At present, the traditional preparation methods of the Ni-YSZ composite anode mainly comprise two methods: (1) dry pressing: pressing and molding Ni-YSZ or NiO-YSZ mixed powder in a steel mold with fixed specification, and then sintering and reducing to obtain a Ni-YSZ anode with a certain shape; (2) casting method: preparing mixed powder of Ni-YSZ or NiO-YSZ and the like into casting slurry, obtaining a Ni-YSZ anode film with a certain thickness by casting, and then cutting, sintering and reducing to obtain the Ni-YSZ anode with a regular shape. The disadvantages of these two methods for preparing Ni-YSZ anodes are mainly the following: 1. the porosity requirement of the anode can be met by adding a pore-forming agent, and the existence state (size, morphology, open pores or closed pores) of pores cannot be controlled; 2. the electron conductance of the anode depends on the formation of a Ni network, but this process cannot be controlled; 3. the support strength of the anode depends on the YSZ framework, but the formation of the YSZ framework can not be controlled; 4. the prepared Ni-YSZ metal ceramic composite anode has extremely poor ductility, and is difficult to be tightly attached to a mold due to inevitable fine unevenness in the subsequent battery sealing process, so that single battery cells are crushed under pressure or the battery leaks air.

Example 1
S1, pretreatment of foamed nickel:
cutting foamed nickel into square (side length is10 cm), then carrying out ultrasonic treatment on the foamed nickel in 1mol/L sodium hydroxide solution for 30min, then carrying out ultrasonic treatment in acetone solution for 10min, finally carrying out ultrasonic washing in ionized water and absolute ethyl alcohol for 10min in sequence, drying at 60 ℃ under the vacuum condition, weighing the foamed nickel with the weight of 2.50g, and recording the weight as M 0 And then standby.
S2, preparing NiO-YSZ composite slurry:
in NiO powder (D) 50 Is 50nm, and has a specific surface area of 60m 2 /g) 8YSZ powder (D) 50 Is 50nm, and has a specific surface area of 60m 2 Adding polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), hydroxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and deionized water into the mixture, wherein the solid content is 30 percent, and the mass ratio of 8YSZ to NiO is 1:1.5, PVA is used in an amount of 1wt% based on the total weight of the powder (the total weight of NiO powder and 8YSZ powder), and CMC is used in an amount of 0.4wt% based on the total weight of the powder.
S3, preparing NF/YSZ/NiO complex
Soaking one surface (not less than 1/3 of the position) of the treated foam nickel in the NiO-YSZ composite slurry, taking out the foam nickel after 10min, placing the foam nickel on a tray, drying the foam nickel in an oven, weighing the mass of the foam nickel at the moment, recording the mass as M1, and repeating the process for 7 times repeatedly, wherein the mass and the performance of the foam nickel after each slurry hanging are shown in Table 1;
s4, preparing the solid oxide fuel cell anode by hot-pressing sintering:
and (3) carrying out hot-pressing sintering on the foamed nickel after the slurry coating is finished in a nitrogen atmosphere, wherein the sintering temperature is 1000 ℃, the heat preservation time is 1h, and the pressure is 30MPa, so as to obtain the solid oxide fuel cell anode.
Table 1:
Figure BDA0004019263830000091
Figure BDA0004019263830000101
as can be seen from table 1: along with the increase of the times of slurry hanging, the load capacity of YSZ/NiO in the foam nickel is also increased slowly, and the increasing speed of the load capacity is gradually reduced; when X =5 (i.e., at the time of 5 th sizing), there is almost no significant increase in the amount of YSZ/NiO loaded, because as the sizing frequency increases, the pores of the nickel foam are filled, the pore size gradually decreases, and the adsorption capacity to the slurry gradually decreases. When the pore diameter of the surface of the foamed nickel is reduced to a certain degree, the foamed nickel can not adsorb slurry any more, so that the loading capacity tends to be stable.
With the increase of slurry coating times, the surface porosity and pore size of the anode of the solid oxide fuel cell are continuously reduced after hot-pressing sintering and hydrogen reduction. This demonstrates that the porosity and pore size of the anode can be adjusted by controlling the number of times of slurry hanging.
When the number of times of the slurry hanging is less than 5 times, the electronic conductivity of the anode hardly changes with the increase of the number of times of the slurry hanging, which shows that the anode is endowed with extremely high electronic conductivity by adopting the foamed nickel as the base material. While anodes (1X 10) were prepared in a conventional manner (casting YSZ-NiO slurry or dry pressing YSZ-NiO powder, then sintering the cast film or green compact) 5 About S/m).
When the slurry coating times reach 5 times, the polarization impedance of the anode is continuously reduced along with the increase of the slurry coating times until the polarization impedance tends to be stable. This is because, when the number of times of slurry coating is small, the number of three-phase interfaces on the anode is insufficient, the catalytic ability for hydrogen is insufficient, and the transport ability for electrons and oxygen ions is insufficient, so that the polarization impedance is large, and even the polarization impedance value cannot be measured at all. And when X is more than or equal to 5, the foamed nickel cannot adsorb more slurry due to the reduction of pores, the porosity and the pore size of the anode are not changed obviously, and the stool and urine of the polarization impedance tend to be stable.
Examples 2 to 3 and comparative examples 1 to 2
Solid oxide fuel cell anodes were prepared according to the method used in example 1, except that the slurries in examples 2 and 3 had solids contents of 20wt% and 40wt%, respectively, and the slurries in comparative examples 1 and 2 had solids contents of 10wt% and 50wt%, respectively, as shown in table 2.
Table 2 shows the loading, viscosity and polarization impedance of the slurries with different solid contents after 5 times of slurry hanging.
Table 2:
Figure BDA0004019263830000111
as can be seen from table 5, as the solid content of the slurry increases, the viscosity of the slurry as a whole increases, and the load amount tends to increase and then decrease. This is because NiO/YSZ is not effectively adsorbed in the pore size of the nickel foam when the viscosity of the slurry is low, and it does not well enter the pores of the nickel foam due to the surface tension when the viscosity of the slurry is too high, resulting in a decrease in the loading amount. This also explains why the polarization resistance of the anode is decreased first and then increased because the triphasic interface length of the anode is changed as the load amount is changed.
Example 4 and comparative examples 3 to 5
The solid oxide fuel cell anode was fabricated by referring to the method adopted in example 1, except that the temperature of the hot press sintering in example 4 was 900 deg.c, and the temperatures of the hot press sintering in comparative examples 3, 4, and 5 were 800 deg.c, 1100 deg.c, and 1200 deg.c, respectively.
Table 3 shows the face porosity and pore size of anodes prepared at different hot press sintering temperatures.
Table 3:
Figure BDA0004019263830000121
as can be seen from table 3, the surface porosity and pore size of the anode both decrease with increasing hot press sintering temperature. When the hot press sintering temperature reaches 1100-1200 c, the anode is almost completely densified due to the high temperature of the hot press sintering, which obviously does not meet the SOFC requirement that the anode must possess sufficient porosity. When the temperature is reduced to 800 ℃, the surface porosity of the anode is too high, the length of a three-phase interface is influenced, and the polarization impedance of the anode is extremely high.
Examples 5 to 6 and comparative examples 6 to 7
A solid oxide fuel cell anode was prepared by referring to the method used in example 1, except that the mass ratio of 8YSZ and nickel oxide was as shown in table 4.
Table 4 gives the different NiO: the viscosity of the slurry prepared by 8YSZ mass ratio and the load capacity after slurry hanging; and the face porosity, pore size, and polarization resistance of anodes prepared under different mass ratios.
TABLE 4
Figure BDA0004019263830000131
As can be seen from table 4, when the solid content is fixed, changing the mass ratio of nickel oxide and 8YSZ in the slurry does not significantly affect the viscosity of the slurry, and thus does not affect the slurrying process.
It can also be seen from table 4 that as the proportion of nickel oxide increases, the surface porosity and pore size of the anode increase continuously, because a part of the anode porosity comes from the process of reducing NiO by hydrogen to form Ni, so as the mass of 8YSZ increases, the surface porosity and pore size of the sintered anode increase continuously. This leads to a first reduction in the polarization resistance of the anode, since more and larger pores facilitate gas entry and exchange, but as nickel oxide: the mass ratio of 8YSZ reaches 1:2, the porosity of the anode is too large, the content of Ni is reduced along with the increase of the content of 8YSZ, and the length of a three-phase interface is reduced due to double factors, so that the polarization resistance of the anode is increased.
The above description is only for the preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art should be considered to be within the technical scope of the present invention, and the technical solutions and the inventive concepts thereof according to the present invention should be equivalent or changed within the scope of the present invention.
