摘要

In this study, Sr-doped SmBa0.75Sr0.25Fe2O5+δ oxide was prepared, and its electrochemical performance stability as a cathode for solid oxide fuel cells were investigated. First principles calculations indicated that the oxygen vacancy formation energy of SmBa0.75Sr0.25Fe2O5+δ (1.998 eV) was lower than that of parent SmBaFe2O5+δ (2.098 eV). Sr-doped SmBa0.75Sr0.25Fe2O5+δ exhibited a significant reduction in the band center energy of Fe–3d and O–2p orbits and improved conductivity compared with parent SBF material. SmBa0.75Sr0.25Fe2O5+δ cathode had good chemical and thermal compatibility with common oxygen-ion conducting electrolyte materials in the intermediate temperature range. At 800 °C, the polarization resistance of SmBa0.75Sr0.25Fe2O5+δ on Sm0.2Ce0.8O1.9 and La0.9Sr0.1Ga0.83Mg0.17O3−δ electrolyte were 0.025 Ω, and 0.018 Ω cm2 in air, respectively. The polarization resistance of SmBaFe2O5+δ on Sm0.2Ce0.8O1.9 and La0.9Sr0.1Ga0.83Mg0.17O3−δ electrolyte were 0.064, and 0.046 Ω cm2 in air, respectively. The polarization resistance of Sr-doped SmBa0.75Sr0.25Fe2O5+δ was decreased significantly by 61% compared with SmBaFe2O5+δ. At 800 °C, the maximum power density of fuel cell using SmBa0.75Sr0.25Fe2O5+δ, SmBaFe2O5+δ as cathode and La0.9Sr0.1Ga0.83Mg0.17O3−δ as electrolyte reached 758.6 and 670.2 mW cm−2, respectively. The polarization resistance growth ratio of SmBa0.75Sr0.25Fe2O5+δ was only 7.5% within 100 h compared with SmBaFe2O5+δ. Sr-doped SmBa0.75Sr0.25Fe2O5+δ significantly improved the stability of polarization resistance in air. These results demonstrated that Sr-doped SmBa0.75Sr0.25Fe2O5+δ exhibited good electrochemical performance and stability as a cathode material for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells.
