After yttrium doping in the cathode material is realized by the preparation method, the impedance is reduced by more than 20 percent, the cyclic attenuation is reduced by more than 20 percent, and the thermal expansion coefficient is reducedThe fracture strength is improved by more than 30%, the Young modulus and the hardness are improved by more than 70%.
Further, the above preparation method can be applied to all ABO 3 The yttrium doping is carried out on the cathode material, so that the improvement of mechanical properties is realized and the original electrochemical properties are maintained. By way of example, the ABO 3 The cathode material may be, but is not limited to BSCF, LSCF, LSM, SSC, BCC.
In some embodiments, in addition to sol-gel methods for preparing yttrium doped cathode materials, solid phase methods, co-precipitation methods, hydrothermal methods, template methods, and the like can be employed; the method has the advantages that the effect of preparing the yttrium-doped cathode material by adopting the sol-gel method is optimal, the yttrium-doped cathode material is mainly prepared by adopting the sol-gel method, the impurities are minimum, the purity is highest, the particle size of the cathode material is most proper and uniform, the process is easy to control, and the stoichiometric amount is most accurate.
In some embodiments, in the step S10, ABO 3 The cathode material solution is obtained by mixing metal nitrate solutions containing different metal ions, namely, nitrate solutions of one or two of rare earth elements and alkaline earth elements are mixed with nitrate solutions of transition metal elements; by BaCo 0.7 Ce 0.3 For example, ba (NO 3 ) 2 、Co(NO 3 ) 2 ·6H 2 O、Ce(NO 3 ) 3 ·6H 2 Dissolving the mixture of O in water, heating and stirring to dissolve thoroughly to obtain ABO 3 A solution of a cathode material.
In some embodiments, the yttrium-containing inorganic salt hydrate is selected from, but not limited to, Y (NO) 3 ) 3 ·6H 2 O、Y(C 2 H 3 O 2 ) 3 ·4H 2 O、YCl 3 ·6H 2 One or more of O; yttrium element in inorganic salt hydrate and ABO during high temperature firing 3 The elements in the cathode material are self-assembled together to generate multiphase perovskite type compound, and the compound can improve the mechanical property of the cathode material while maintaining the electrochemical property of the original material.

In a preferred embodiment, the first complexing agent is citric acid; the second complexing agent is ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid; the pH regulator is ammonia water.
Specifically, in the process of preparing a cathode material by a sol-gel method, citric Acid (CA) may form a complex with metal ions; along with the evaporation of the solvent in the gel process, the metal cations and the citric acid are mutually crosslinked and condensed to form a three-dimensional network structure, so that all components of the raw materials can be uniformly combined, the purity of the product is improved, and the stoichiometric ratio can be accurately controlled.

The yttrium element doping is mainly used for improving the strength of the material, and too little yttrium element doping can not play a role in improving the mechanical property. Therefore, the doping mole percentage of yttrium element at the B site is controlled to be 10-20%, so that the mechanical property of the yttrium doped cathode material can be effectively improved while the original electrochemical property is maintained.
In a preferred embodiment, in the yttrium doped cathode material, the doping mole percentage of yttrium element at the B site is 15%, so that the mechanical property of the cathode material is greatly improved, and the original electrochemical property is maintained.

In a preferred embodiment, the temperature of the calcination treatment is 1000 ℃ and the time of the calcination treatment is 5 hours.
In addition, the invention also provides the yttrium doped cathode material prepared by the yttrium doped cathode material preparation method.

And applying a force to the cathode sheet in a displacement control manner until the cathode sheet breaks. In the process, a load displacement curve of the whole process is obtained through the displacement and the pressure sensor. The breaking strength of the two materials can be obtained by analyzing and processing the curve. To ensure the credibility of the test results, 25 breaking tests were performed for each material. With 65% confidence [,/>]The average value within the confidence interval was used as the final experimental data. The same method was used for high temperature testing at 150, 300, 450, 600, 700 ℃. The breaking strength was improved by 76.8% (from 27.98MPa to 49.46 MPa) as shown in FIG. 6.
