Abstract
Composite materials consisting of acceptor doped lanthanum orthoniobate electrolyte phase (La0.98Ca0.02NbO4) and Li2O:NiO:ZnO semiconducting phase were synthesized. The precursor powder of La0.98Ca0.02NbO4 was prepared in nanocrystalline (mechanosynthesis) and microcrystalline (solid-state synthesis) form. The composite can be applied in a single-layer fuel cell, because of the presence of two phases acting as an anode and a cathode simultaneously. X-ray diffraction data show that the materials consist of two expected phases. Scanning Electron Microscope images, with Energy Dispersive X-Ray analysis show that La0.98Ca0.02NbO4 as well as Li2O:NiO:ZnO are mixed together in the volume of the material. Open circuit voltage both for nano- and microcrystalline composite do not exceed 0.8 V. The single-layer fuel cell is degrading upon time and the voltage drop is observed. The processes of ZnO reduction and Zn diffusion and evaporation as responsible for cell degradation are discussed.
