Effects of La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 and Ag electrodes on bismuth-oxide-based low-temperature solid electrolyte oxygen generators
Abstract
In this study, La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 (LSM) was used as the ceramic electrode in a (Bi1.50Y0.50)0.98Zr0.04O3+δ (BYO)-based solid electrolyte oxygen generator (SEOG) and its performance was compared with that of a previously studied high-fire Ag electrode. Among La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3, LaNi0.6Fe0.4O3, Cu1.4Mn1.6O4, and LSM materials, only LSM materials did not trigger any chemical reaction or interdiffusion with BYO at temperatures up to 900 °C. Two cell designs, Cell A, with a Bi1.71Nb0.25Ba0.04O3+δ (BBNO) interlayer and high-fire Ag electrode, and Cell B, with an LSM-BYO composite electrode, were obtained in this study. The cells were sandwiched between two modular SUS 316 planar interconnects using a ZnO–SiO2–Al2O3 glass sealant to form the SEOG device. Although Cells A and B possessed similar ohmic resistance (Ro) values, the polarization resistance (Rp) values of Cell A were 3.6 times larger than those of Cell B. Furthermore, the stability study of the cells operated at 600 °C for 12 h revealed that Ro increased from 0.79 to 3.17 Ω cm2 and Rp from 3.12 to 12.58 Ω cm2 for the Cell A, while Ro increased from 0.76 to 0.77 Ω cm2 and Rp from 0.87 to 1.12 Ω cm2 for the Cell B. Therefore, minor variations in the Ro and Rp of Cell B indicate the excellent stability of the electrode. The degradation of Cell A was caused by the migration of Ag and formation of voids and cracks adjacent to the anode/electrolyte interface under the DC field. Furthermore, the Cell A experienced a decrease in faradaic efficiency for current densities greater than 0.20 A cm−2 owing to the partial decomposition of BYO at the cathode. In contrast, the Cell B generated an oxygen flux of 1.29 cm⋅min−1 at 600 °C. In addition, the faradaic efficiency of Cell B remained consistent for current densities up to 0.35 A cm−2. Therefore, the SEOG using LSM-BYO as the cell electrode exhibited excellent stability and electrochemical performance.
