Batteries and Fuel Cells

29.9K
A battery is a galvanic cell that is used as a source of electrical power for specific applications. Modern batteries exist in a multitude of forms to accommodate various applications, from tiny button batteries such as those that power wristwatches to the very large batteries used to supply backup energy to municipal power grids. Some batteries are designed for single-use applications and cannot be recharged (primary cells), while others are based on conveniently reversible cell reactions that...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry
  • Energy Conversion

Background:

  • Thin-film micro-solid oxide fuel cells (µSOFCs) show promise for portable power.
  • Silicon substrates with metallic electrodes face high-temperature instability.
  • Epitaxial material growth on bulk metal substrates is challenging for µSOFCs.

Main Methods:

  • Epitaxial growth of (La0.60Sr0.40)0.95Co0.20Fe0.80O3 (LSCF) cathode materials on stainless steel substrates with epitaxial electrolyte layers (YSZ + CeO2).
  • Pulsed laser deposition of LSCF/MgO vertically aligned nanocomposite films.
  • Selective etching of MgO to create mesoporous LSCF cathodes.
  • Growth of LSCF cathodes on single-crystal substrates for performance validation.

Main Results:

  • Successfully grew epitaxial LSCF cathode materials on stainless steel substrates.
  • Achieved state-of-the-art performance comparable to single-crystal substrates.
  • Demonstrated an area specific resistance of 100 Ω cm2 at 500 °C.
