摘要
The misfit compounds Ca3鈭?em>xBixCo4O9鈭?em>未 (x聽=聽0.1-0.5) were successfully synthesized via conventional solid state reaction and evaluated as cathode materials for intermediate temperature-solid oxide fuel cells. The powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning emission microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetry analysis and oxygen-temperature programmed desorption. The monoclinic Ca3鈭?em>xBixCo4O9鈭?em>未 powders exhibit good thermal stability and chemical compatibility with Ce0.8Sm0.2O2鈭?em>纬 electrolyte. Among the investigated single-phase samples, Ca2.9Bi0.1Co4O9鈭?em>未 shows the maximal conductivity of 655.9聽S聽cm鈭? and higher catalytic activity compared with other Ca3鈭?em>xBixCo4O9鈭?em>未 compositions. Ca2.9Bi0.1Co4O9鈭?em>未 also shows the best cathodic performance and its cathode polarization resistance can be further decreased by incorporating 30聽wt.%Ce0.8Sm0.2O2鈭?em>纬. The maximal power densities of the NiO/Ce0.8Sm0.2O2鈭?em>纬 anode-supported button cells fabricated with the Ce0.8Sm0.2O2鈭?em>纬 electrolyte and Ca2.9Bi0.1Co4O9鈭?em>未聽+聽30聽wt.%Ce0.8Sm0.2O2鈭?em>纬 cathode reach 430 and 320聽mW聽cm鈭? at 700 and 650聽掳C respectively.
