Abstract

Cobalt doped Pr0.5Ba0.5FeO3-δ perovskite exhibits superior electrochemical performance when it was tested as an anode for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell. For the anode with a composition of Pr0.5Ba0.5Co0.25Fe0.75O3-δ–Ce0.9Gd0.1O2-δ, the polarization resistance Rp was as low as 0.05 Ωcm2 at 700 °C in air and 0.21 Ωcm2 at 700 °C in 3% H2O–97% H2. In addition, this full-ceramic anode was tolerant to 50 ppm H2S and showed stable performance during the preliminary test. The ceramic composite also exhibited superior activity for cathodic oxygen-reduction-reaction (ORR), thus enabled a symmetrical fuel cell. In a lab designed full-ceramic symmetrical fuel cell, a power density of 0.75 Wcm−2 at 750 °C has been achieved, demonstrating the superior properties of this oxide.
