Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry
  • Chemical Engineering

Background:

  • Mixed ionic-electronic conducting (MIEC) perovskite oxides are promising cathodes for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs).
  • Conventional fabrication methods (>800°C) cause detrimental interfacial reactions between MIEC cathodes and yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolytes, forming unwanted phases (e.g., La₂Zr₂O₇, SrZrO₃).
  • These reactions degrade SOFC performance, especially at reduced operating temperatures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a new method for assembling MIEC perovskite cathodes directly onto YSZ electrolytes.
  • To prevent interfacial reactions and improve the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity of SOFC cathodes.
  • To demonstrate a facile and effective technique for creating robust interfaces between incompatible ceramic materials.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a highly efficient microwave plasma technique for direct assembly of SrCo₀.₄Fe₀.₅W₀.₁O₃-δ (SCFW) onto YSZ.
  • Employing a ten-minute microwave-plasma treatment to achieve intimate contact between SCFW and YSZ phases.
  • Testing the ORR performance of the fabricated interface via area-specific resistance (ASR) measurements.

Main Results:

  • The microwave-plasma fabricated interface showed no new phase formation after treatment.
  • Achieved an area-specific resistance of 0.11 Ω cm² at 600°C, indicating superior ORR performance.
  • Demonstrated the method's effectiveness for other MIEC perovskites (SrCo₀.₅Fe₀.₅O₃-δ, SrCo₀.₈Nb₀.₁Ta₀.₁O₃-δ), achieving significant performance enhancements.

Conclusions:

  • The microwave plasma technique provides an effective and convenient route for synthesizing reactive and robust interfaces between MIEC perovskites and YSZ.
  • This method minimizes interphase interactions, crucial for high-performance SOFCs operating at reduced temperatures.
  • The developed approach offers a promising strategy for fabricating advanced cathode materials for next-generation energy devices.
