Abstract:

High-temperature solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) offer a promising pathway for CO₂-to-CO conversion yet are hindered by cathode inactivity. This study demonstrates cation doping in Sr₂Ti_0.8Fe_1.2O_6-δ (STF), specifically forming Sr₂Ti_0.8FeNi_0.2O_6-δ (STFN) and Sr₂Ti_0.8FeCo_0.2O_6-δ (STFC), as an effective strategy for modulating oxygen activity and enhancing CO₂ electrolysis performance. The STFC cathode delivers optimal results, achieving a 1.15 A cm^-2 current density, 8.01 mL min^-1 cm^-2 CO production rate, and >99% Faradaic efficiency at 1.6 V and 800 °C. Advanced spectroscopic techniques combined with density functional theory calculations reveal that Co doping increases oxygen activity, evidenced by an upshifted O 2p band center and reduced oxygen vacancy formation energy. Consequently, CO₂ adsorption for carbonate (CO₃^2-) intermediate formation is facilitated, and the energy barrier for CO generation is reduced. A techno-economic assessment projects a competitive CO production cost of $748 per ton. These insights provide fundamental guidelines for the design of high-activity catalysts in high-temperature electrochemical systems.

Controlled-Potential Coulometry: Electrolytic Methods

Controlled-potential coulometry, also known as potentiostatic coulometry, employs a three-electrode system in which the working electrode's potential is precisely regulated using a potentiostat. Platinum working electrodes are utilized for positive potentials, while mercury pool electrodes are favored for extremely negative potentials. The platinum counter electrode is separated from the analyte using a membrane or salt bridge to avoid interference in the analysis.

Processes at Electrodes

The electrode interacts with ions in the electrolyte solution at its interface. The rate of oxidation and reduction depends on the speed at which electrons can transfer through this interface. As ions attach to or leave the electrode surface, the electrode acquires a charge, and an electrical potential forms across the interface, making the process more difficult to reach equilibrium. The charge on the electrode affects the local ion concentrations in the solution, though thermal motion...
