Protonic SOFCs Using Perovskite-Type Conductors

Article Preview

Abstract:

High temperature solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) have high efficiency and low emissions and contribute to the saving of the fossil fuel and the decreasing of the CO2 emission bringing about the global warning. As concerned about the development of electrolytes, oxide-ion conductors alternative to yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) such as doped CeO2, Sc-SZ and perovskite-type oxides (LaGaO3) etc. have been reported to apply to the intermediate temperature SOFCs (IT-SOFCs).Some of perovskite-type oxides shows high proton conductivity at high temperature and are expected to the electrolyte materials for IT-SOFCs. In this paper we have investigated review the mixed electrical conductivity and the optical absorption spectrum of OH(D)-vibration of LaScO3.We also evaluated its applicability to the electrolyte material for IT-SOFCs by testing the SOFC performance of Pt/LaScO3/Pt single cell configuration.
