摘要
研究了0.005、0.010、0.020、0.035和0.040 mol/L 5种不同浓度的La0.8Sr0.2MnO3(LSM)溶液涂覆La0.8Sr0.2FeO3(LSF)电极后,其电化学性能的变化。X射线衍射结果表明:LSM和LSF化学相容性好。扫描电子显微镜观察可见:电极的晶粒尺寸和涂层厚度随着涂覆液浓度的增加而增加。电化学阻抗谱表明:在阳极极化条件下,经过0.010 mol/L LSM溶液涂覆处理后的LSF电极表现为最佳的电化学性能,其极化电阻在800℃仅为0.3.cm2。而且无论在阳极极化还是阴极极化处理后,涂覆LSM后的LSF电极的极化电阻,1200s内都呈现下降的趋势,LSM涂覆后的LSF电极具有一定的抗阳极极化的能力,归因于LSM涂层的良好催化特性。因此,0.010mol/LLSM溶液涂覆处理后的LSF可以作为固体氧化物电解池的阳极材料。
La0.8Sr0.2MnO3(LSM)-coated La0.8Sr0.2FeO3(LSF) electrodes were prepared via the infiltration of LSM stock solution with different concentrations(0.005,0.010,0.020,0.035 and 0.040 mol/L) into porous LSF electrode.The effect of coating solution concentration on the electrochemical performance was investigated.The results obtained by X-ray diffraction indicated there was no reaction between the LSM and LSF in the LSM-coated LSF electrode.The thickness of coating and the grain size increased with the increase of LSM concentration.The porous LSF electrode coated with LSM solution of 0.010 mol/L exhibited an optimum performance under anodic polarization and the polarization resistance was 0.3.cm2at 800 ℃.Moreover,The polarization resistance variation of the LSM-coated LSF electrode was independent of the polarization directions,and decreased under both cathodic and anodic polarizations in a short-term(1 200 s).The LSM electrocatalytic activity of the electrode surface played an important role in the performance enhancement.The LSM-coated LSF electrode with 0.010 mol/L LSM solution could be a promising anode material for solid oxide electrolysis cell.
