摘要

In recent years, double perovskite structured materials have emerged as promising cathode materials for Intermediate-Temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (IT-SOFCs), with PrBa0.5Sr0.5Co1.5Fe0.5O5+δ (PBSCF) demonstrating exceptional performance. This study investigates the impact of gadolinium (Gd) doping in PBSCF, forming PrxGd1-xBa0.5Sr0.5Co1.5Fe0.5O5+δ (PGBSCF) with x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the tetragonal crystal structure across all PGBSCF compositions. Microstructural analysis via Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), porosity distribution assessments, and Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) measurements using a Thermal Mechanical Analyzer (TMA) were conducted. The four-point probe method evaluated electronic conductivity, while Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) assessed cathode resistance in PGBSCF|SDC|PGBSCF symmetrical cells. Results indicate electronic conductivities of 132.4 S cm−1 for GBSCF and 427.8 S cm−1 for PBSCF at 600℃ in air, with a decrease in conductivity as praseodymium content increased. This study highlights the structural and electrochemical property variations with different praseodymium and gadolinium ratios, providing insights into optimizing IT-SOFC cathode materials.
