Abstract:

Developing high-performance and durable cathodes is crucial for efficient reversible solid oxide cells (R-SOCs). While A-site cation effects on perovskite cathodes are well-established, the mechanistic role of B-site cation acidity in regulating oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and CO₂ reduction reaction (CO₂RR) remains inadequately understood. This study systematically investigates the influence of B-site cation acidity in BaCo_0.8M_0.2O_3- _δ (M = Fe, Nb, and Ta) on electrochemical performance. Our findings reveal a direct correlation between dopant acidity and enhanced performance. Specifically, Fe doping (BCFO) leads to significant structural evolution with suppressed Jahn-Teller distortion, resulting in a lower Co⁴⁺/Co³⁺ ratio and increased oxygen vacancy concentration that promotes oxygen ion diffusion. At 800°C, BCFO achieves the highest peak power density in fuel cell mode (1520 mW·cm^-2) and superior CO₂ electrolysis current density (2.60 A·cm^-2 at 1.3 V). Notably, a clear trend of performance enhancement with increasing dopant acidity is observed (BCFO > BCNO > BCTO). The superior performance of BCFO is attributed to its optimal metal-oxygen bond energy, balancing facile bond dissociation and formation. This work establishes B-site cation acidity as a predictive descriptor for the rational design of highly active and stable perovskite cathodes for advanced solid oxide fuel cells and electrolysis cells.

Catalysis

Catalysis

The presence of a catalyst affects the rate of a chemical reaction. A catalyst is a substance that can increase the reaction rate without being consumed during the process. A basic comprehension of a catalysts’ role during chemical reactions can be understood from the concept of reaction mechanisms and energy diagrams.

Spontaneous Chemical Reactions
Spontaneous redox reactions occur abundantly in nature. The chemical reaction occurring in a disposable AA battery powering our remote controls is one such example of a spontaneous redox reaction. Another example is the immersion of coiled copper wire into an aqueous silver nitrate solution. The reaction shows a gradual, visually impressive color change from colorless to bright blue and the formation of a grey precipitate on the copper wire. In this experiment,...

Thermal and Photochemical Electrocyclic Reactions: Overview

Thermal and Photochemical Electrocyclic Reactions: Overview

Electrocyclic reactions are reversible reactions. They involve an intramolecular cyclization or ring-opening of a conjugated polyene. Shown below are two examples of electrocyclic reactions. In the first reaction, the formation of the cyclic product is favored. In contrast, in the second reaction, ring-opening is favored due to the high ring strain associated with cyclobutene formation.

Types of Reversible Electrodes

Types of Reversible Electrodes

For electrode reversibility to be maintained, all the reactants and products involved in the half-reaction must be present at the electrode. There are several types of reversible electrodes (half-cells).In metal-metal-ion electrodes, a metal balances electrochemically with a solution of its own ions. Examples are Cu2+|Cu and Zn2+|Zn. Metals that react with the solvent, like group 1 and most group 2 metals, which react with water, and zinc, which reacts with aqueous acidic solutions, cannot be...

Catalysis

Catalysis

Catalysis influences the rate of chemical reactions by providing an alternative reaction pathway with lower activation energy. A catalyst speeds up a reaction, but it is not consumed during the process. The fundamental principle of catalysis is the ability of a catalyst to alter the reaction mechanism, often introducing a more efficient pathway than the uncatalyzed process.In a catalyzed reaction, the catalyst participates directly in the reaction mechanism. It interacts with reactants to form...

Heterogeneous Catalysis

Heterogeneous Catalysis

Heterogeneous catalysis involves a catalyst in a different phase from the reactants. It is a process where the catalyst and the reactants are in distinct phases, typically solid and gas or liquid.Most heterogeneous catalysts are metals, metal oxides, or acids. The list includes transition metals like iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt), chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), tungsten (W), silver (Ag), and copper (Cu). These metals possess partially vacant d orbitals that...
