The X-ray diffraction spectrum of the cathode material prepared in this example is shown as SF in fig. 1. As can be seen from FIG. 1, the cathode material prepared in comparative example 1 contains only a single phase SrFeO 3-δ The two-phase heterostructures of example 1 and example 2 are absent.
The prepared composite cathode material is also applied to the preparation of symmetrical batteries and full batteries, and the preparation methods of the corresponding symmetrical batteries and full batteries are the same as those described in the embodiment 1, and are not repeated here.
For the electrochemical properties of the cathode materials prepared in comparative examples 1 to 2 and comparative example 1, the symmetrical cells and the full cells prepared in examples 1 to 2 and comparative example 1 were examined, and the results are shown in fig. 4 and 5.
Among them, fig. 4 is an ac impedance spectrum at 750 ℃ of the symmetrical batteries prepared in examples 1 to 2 and comparative example 1. Fig. 5 is a graph showing the discharge curves of the full cells prepared in examples 1 to 2 and comparative example 1, versus the power density curve.
As can be seen from FIG. 4, the polarization impedance of the single-phase SF cathode symmetric cell prepared in comparative example 1 was 0.5852 Ω -cm 2 The polarization resistance of the two-phase composite SNF0.05 cathode symmetric cell prepared in example 1 was 0.1812 Ω cm 2 The polarization resistance of the two-phase composite SNF0.1 cathode symmetric cell prepared in example 2 was 0.2986 Ω cm 2 The composite cathode materials prepared in examples 1-2 were shown to have significantly lower polarization resistance than the single-phase cathode material prepared in comparative example 1, and the polarization resistance corresponding to the doped amount of Nd in example 1 was lower than that corresponding to the doped amount of Nd in example 2 of 0.1 at a doped amount of Nd of 0.05. Namely, the complex prepared by the inventionThe oxygen reduction reaction activity of the cathode material was significantly increased compared to the single-phase cathode material prepared in comparative example 1, and the Nd doping amount was 0.05, which was higher than that of comparative example 1, if the Nd doping amount was further increased to 0.1, the oxygen reduction activity was rather decreased, but was still better than that of comparative example 1.
As can be seen from FIG. 5, the single-phase SF cathode full cell prepared in comparative example 1 has a maximum power density of 324 mW.cm -2 Whereas the maximum power density of the two-phase composite SNF0.05 cathode material full cell prepared in example 1 was significantly increased to 595mw·cm relative to comparative example 1 -2 The maximum power density of the two-phase composite SNF0.1 cathode material full cell prepared in example 2 was raised to 487mw·cm relative to comparative example 1 -2 The full cells prepared based on the composite cathode materials prepared in examples 1-2 were shown to have a greater power density than the full cells prepared based on the single-phase cathode material prepared in comparative example 1, demonstrating that the solid oxide fuel cell composite cathode material of the two-phase heterostructure has better electrochemical performance than the single-phase cathode material, and the maximum power density corresponding to the doped amount of Nd of 0.05 in example 1 is higher than the maximum power density corresponding to the doped amount of Nd of 0.1 in example 2.
Comparative example 2
The comparative example provides a method for preparing a cathode material of a solid oxide fuel cell, which is different from example 1 only in that the molar ratio of Sr, nd, and Fe in step S1 is modified to 0.95:0.05:1, which is equivalent to not performing Fe site defect treatment, and other steps and parameters are the same as those of example 1, and are not repeated here.
The solid oxide fuel cell cathode material prepared in this comparative example was subjected to X-ray diffraction analysis, and the results are shown in fig. 6. As can be seen from FIG. 6, the cathode material contains only the orthorhombic perovskite phase Sr 0.95 Nd 0.05 FeO 3-δ No second phase was generated, indicating that for iron-based perovskite SrFeO alone 3-δ The composite cathode material containing both the orthorhombic perovskite phase and the RP perovskite phase cannot be obtained by performing the Sr-site Nd doping without performing the Fe-site defect treatment.
To sum up, the present inventionThe invention provides a self-assembled two-phase heterostructure solid oxide fuel cell composite cathode material, and a preparation method and application thereof. The invention adjusts the mole ratio of Sr, nd and Fe in the raw materials to be 1-x:x:1-y, and self-assembles the iron-based perovskite SrFeO based on a one-step sol-gel method 3-δ Simultaneously carrying out Nd doping and Fe site defect treatment on the Sr site, so that the prepared composite cathode material simultaneously contains the orthorhombic perovskite phase Sr as a main phase 1-a Nd a FeO 3-δ1 (P-SNF) and RP-type perovskite phase Sr as second phase 3-b Nd b Fe 2 O 7-δ2 And (RP-SNF) combines a rapid oxygen transmission path existing at a two-phase heterogeneous interface while cooperatively playing the advantages of the two-phase material, so that the oxygen reduction reaction activity of the cathode material is effectively improved, and the cathode material has better electrochemical performance.
