Abstract:

The trend of operating the solid oxide fuel cell at significantly lower operation temperatures enables the application of electrodes with finer microstructure or even nanostructured electrodes with increased active surface and enhanced performance. To maintain the high performance in hydrocarbon fuels commonly impurified with sulfur compounds, a required sulfur tolerance has to be maintained. In this study we compare performance and H2S-poisoning of four ceria-based electrodes: conventional Ni/Ce0.9Gd0.1O2δ cermets and sub-μm scaled Ce0.8Gd0.2O2δ-electrodes with and without infiltrated nickel. Symmetrical cells were operated in a hydrogen/steam/nitrogen gas mixture with and without minor amounts of H2S at 600 °C. The performance is analyzed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The distribution of relaxation times is applied to deconvolute the electrochemical processes followed by a complex nonlinear least square fit to quantify the loss processes and the impact of sulfur. Whereas two different Ni/Ce0.9Gd0.1O2δ cermet electrodes exhibit polarization resistances at 600 °C without/with 0.1 ppm H2S of 2.89/5.56 Ωcm2 and 2.15/2.75 Ωcm2, the single phase Ce0.8Gd0.2O2δ electrode reaches 0.98/2.37 Ωcm2. ... mehr
