内重整（IR）和外重整（ER）是固体氧化物燃料电池（SOFC）以天然气（NG）为燃料时的两种工作方式,不同重整方式下的电池性能、效率也不尽相同。借助有限元分析软件COMSOL Multiphysics^? 5.2,以天然气为燃料,建立了电池组成为Ni-YSZ//YSZ//LSCF-GDC的ER-SOFC和IR-SOFC两种三维单电池模型。模拟结果表明：相同条件下,IR-SOFC具有比ER-SOFC更高的功率密度、燃料利用率和能量利用率;阳极重整反应主要发生在靠近燃料入口的区域内;H₂和CO含量在IR-SOFC中先升高后降低,在ER-SOFC中则一直降低;IR-SOFC的温度变化更剧烈,燃料入口处温度梯度最大;越靠近集流体的区域,电解质表面的离子电流密度越大;ER-SOFC阳极不会发生热力学上的积炭现象,对于IR-SOFC,CH₄热分解反应是整个阳极发生积炭的主要原因,其在燃料入口处的积炭活性高达270。

基于分子动力学模拟的轮胎橡胶气相热解产物反应机理

运用分子动力学的方法,对轮胎橡胶的热解过程进行了模拟,并结合模拟结果和密度泛函数对其气相产物的反应路径进行推测计算。模拟结果表明,热解过程主要分为两个阶段,低温热解阶段发生的主要反应是橡胶长链断裂形成单体,主要产物为异戊二烯、苯乙烯和1,3-丁二烯;高温热解阶段发生的主要反应是单体进一步生成小分子气体,产物中CH₄、H₂、C₂H₄占大部分,还有少量C₂H₆、C₃H₆。其中CH₃·攻击异戊二烯和苯乙烯单体夺取特定位置的H·是生成CH₄的最优路径,H·攻击苯乙烯单体夺取特定位置的H·是生成H₂的最优路径,CH₂CH·攻击1,3-丁二烯单体夺取特定位置的H·是生成CH₂CH₂的最优路径。本文还将热解产物分别跟天然橡胶单独热解和天然橡胶与丁苯橡胶共热解的热解产物做对比,为废旧轮胎橡胶热解得到特定的气相产物和催化热解提供理论依据。     

不同氧浓度下煤挥发分燃烧的化学动力学研究

燃煤有机污染物对人类健康和生态环境存在严重危害,而O₂对火焰中有机产物的形成具有明显的调控作用。鉴于煤挥发分燃烧是燃煤过程中至关重要的一环,本文以煤热解气为燃料,通过数值模拟研究了氧化剂侧O₂浓度对对冲扩散火焰中碳氢产物生成特性和机制的影响。结果表明,O₂浓度升高促进了O和OH的生成,进而提高H浓度,突显了含H和OH参与的反应的重要性。此外,乙炔(C₂H₂)、丙炔(PC₃H₄)、炔丙基(C₃H₃)、乙烯基乙炔(C₄H₄)、苯(C₆H₆)和萘(C₁₀H₈)的浓度均增大。增加O₂浓度促进了C₂H₂向PC₃H₄的转化,并使得C₃H₃更倾向于转化为丁二烯(C₄H₆),而富烯更倾向于通过苯基(C₆H₅)生成C₆H₆,因此C₆H₅作为C₆H₆前体的地位被加强。

复合阳极Ni-Fe/Ce0.9Gd0.1O1.95在阴极支撑单电池的性能及其表征

为了提高固体氧化物燃料电池在中温条件下的电性能,探索了一种双金属阳极的阴极支撑单电池。单电池以La_0.6Sr_0.4CoO₃（LSC）-Ce_0.9Gd_0.1O_1.95（GDC）为阴极支撑体,旋涂了甘氨酸-硝酸盐法制备的La_0.9Sr_0.1Ga_0.8Mg_0.2O_3-δ（LSGM）电解质及Sm_0.2Ce_0.8O_1.9（SDC）缓冲层,涂覆了由硬模板法和浸渍法结合制备的Ni-Fe/GDC双金属阳极。对制备材料进行了XRD和微观形貌分析,单电池电化学测试在800 ℃和750 ℃下,以氢气为燃料的最大功率密度达0.73 W/cm²和0.64 W/cm²,以甲烷为燃料时达0.41 W/cm²和0.40 W/cm²。测试后的SEM表明,阳极具有多孔的微观结构,金属颗粒均匀包覆蠕虫状GDC,保证了单电池具有较高的发电性能。     

低碳烷烃烯烃在超微孔柔性Cu(Qc)2上的吸附行为

采用实验研究与分子模拟相结合的方法研究了低碳烷烃烯烃在超微孔柔性Cu(Qc)₂上的吸附热力学、动力学和吸附分离机理。用常温合成方法制备了超微孔金属-有机骨架材料Cu(Qc)₂,测定了低碳烷烃烯烃（CH₄/C₂H₄/C₂H₆/C₃H₆/C₃H₈）在Cu(Qc)₂上的吸附相平衡和吸附动力学。使用Materials Studio中的Fortcite模块模拟低碳烷烃烯烃在超微孔柔性Cu(Qc)₂上的吸附机理以及材料的结构形变。结果表明Cu(Qc)₂具有优良的C₂H₆ /C₂H₄吸附选择性和吸附动力学,而对C₃H₈ /C₃H₆的吸附选择性很低。273 K和0.1 MPa下,C₂H₆/C₂H₄在Cu(Qc)₂上的IAST选择性达4.6。298 K和0.05 MPa下C₂H₆/C₂H₄在Cu(Qc)₂上的扩散时间常数分别达1.42×10^-3和1.48×10^-3_{s^-1,扩散活化能分别为16.62 和16.43 kJ/mol。应用装填Cu(Qc)2的固定床可在常温条件下实现C2H6 /C2H4二元混合气的完全分离。模拟结果显示Cu(Qc)2为二维堆叠结构,材料会由于吸附不同分子而发生不同程度的结构形变。甲烷易从变大的层间扩散脱附,导致其在材料上的吸附量很低;C2H6/C2H4两者都能稳定吸附在层中的孔道中,其分离推动力主要来源于两种气体在材料上明显的吸附热差异;C3H8/C3H6会分别吸附在两种不同的环境,吸附热差异小导致Cu(Qc)2对C3H8 /C3H6的吸附选择性低。}     

Fabrication of YSZ electrolyte for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell using electrostatic spray deposition: II – Cell performance

Electrostatic spray deposition (ESD) was applied to fabricate a thin-layer of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte on a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) anode substrate consisting of nickel-YSZ cermet. A colloidal solution of 8 mol% YSZ in ethanol was sprayed onto the substrate anode surface at 250–300 °C by ESD. After sintering the deposited layer at 1250–1400 °C for 1–2 h depending on temperature, the cathode layer, consisting of lanthanum strontium manganate (LSM), was sprayed or brush coated onto the electrolyte layer. Performance tests and AC impedance measurements of the complete cell were carried out at 800 °C to evaluate the density and conductance of the electrolyte layer formed by ESD. With a 97% H₂/3% H₂O mixture and air as fuel and oxidant gas, respectively, the open-circuit voltage (OCV) was close to theoretical and electrolyte impedance was about 0.23Ω cm². A power density of 0.45 W cm⁻² at 0.62 V was obtained. No abnormal degradation was observed after 170 h operation. The electrolyte sintering temperature and time did not significantly affect the electrolyte impedance. on leave from     

Tailoring the electron-blocking layer by addition of YSZ to Ba-containing anode for improvement of ceria-based solid oxide fuel cell

The in-situ fabrication of an electron-blocking layer between the Ba-containing anode and the ceria-based electrolyte is an effective approach in suppressing the internal electronic leakage in ceria-based solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). To improve the thickness of the electron-blocking layer and to research the effect of the layer thickness on the improvement of SOFC, a Ba-containing compound (0.6NiO-0.4BaZr_0.1Ce_0.7Y_0.2O_3-δ) modified by Y stabilized zirconia (YSZ) was employed as a composite anode in this research. SEM analyses demonstrated that the thickness of the interlayer can be simply controlled by regulating the proportion of YSZ at anode. The in-situ formed interlayer in the cell with the anode modified by 20?mol% YSZ possesses a thickness of 0.9?µm which is more suitable for the cell achieving an enhanced performance.     

Direct oxidation of dry methane on nanocrystalline Ce0.8Gd0.2O2-δ/Pt anodes

The electrocatalytic activity of composite anodes, consisting of micron-scale sized Pt particles and nanocrystalline Ce_0.8Gd_0.2O_2-δ(CGO) prepared by the cellulose-precursor technique, was evaluated for the oxidation of dry methane in a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) with zirconia-based electrolyte at 1173 K. Increasing current density above 100 mA/cm² and the corresponding decrease of CH₄/O₂ ratio down to 2–3 suppressed carbon formation, but decreased CO/CO₂ molar ratio in the product mixture to 0.3–0.9. The methane conversion rate was found to increase linearly with current, suggesting an increasing role of total CH₄ oxidation by oxygen electrochemically supplied onto the anode surface. The results show that, although ceria-based anode components are well known to improve SOFC performance, their presence leads to high CO₂ selectivity and thus seems inappropriate for the generation of synthesis gas in SOFC-type reactors.     

Fabrication of YSZ electrolyte using electrostatic spray deposition (ESD):I – a comprehensive parametric study

Electrostatic spray deposition (ESD) was applied to fabricate a thin-layer (3 m thickness) yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte on a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) anode substrate consisting of nickel-YSZ cermet. Reducing the thickness of a state-of-the-art electrolyte, and thereby reducing the cell internal IR drop, is a promising strategy to make the intermediate temperature SOFC (ITSOFC) operating at 600–800 °C possible. About 8 mol% YSZ colloidal solution in ethanol was sprayed onto the substrate anode surface at 250–300 °C by ESD. After sintering the deposited layer at 1250–1400 °C for 17–6 h, the cathode layer, consisting of lanthanum strontium manganate (LSM), was sprayed or brush coated onto the electrolyte layer. Performance tests on the cell were carried out at 800 °C to evaluate the electrolyte layer formed by ESD. With a 97 H₂/3 H₂O mixture and air as fuel and oxidant gas, respectively, open circuit voltage (OCV) was found to be close to the theoretical value.     

Experimental Study of the Carbon Deposition from CH4 onto the Ni/YSZ Anode of SOFCs

A challenge in the operation of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) with hydrocarbon fuels is the carbon deposition on the nickel/yttria‐stabilized zirconia (Ni/YSZ) anode. The Grabke‐type kinetic model has been proposed for the carbon formation based upon the assumption of elementary steps, which consist of a rate‐limiting dissociative chemisorption step and a stepwise dehydrogenation of the chemisorbed methyl group. This work experimentally studied the carbon formation on a SOFC Ni/YSZ anode exposed to CH₄+H₂ gas mixtures. Experiments were conducted with various gas compositions of CH₄/H₂ and temperatures in the range from 873 K to 1,123 K. The experimental results were used to determine a kinetic model that was applied to the SOFC operating environments. Based on the experimental data, the formula for the carbon formation rate that is dependent on the operating temperature and the gas compositions of CH₄/H₂ was established.     

Performance of Ni‐based Anode‐Supported SOFCs with Doped Ceria Electrolyte at Low Temperatures Between 294 and 542°C

The performance of a conventional anode‐supported microtubular SOFC using doped ceria as an electrolyte and Ni‐based cermet as an anode is evaluated at low operating temperature between 294 and 542°C. An open‐circuit voltage (OCV) of >0.9 V is obtained at all measured operating temperatures, and power generation is observed at temperatures as low as 294°C. The power density of the cell is 0.6 W/cm² at 542°C operating temperature with 47% fuel utilization and is 5 mW/cm² at 294°C operating temperature with an open‐circuit voltage of 0.95 V. According to impedance spectroscopy, a greater influence of gas flow rate, on the cell performance, is observed at higher operating temperature.     

The Effect of H2S on the Performance of SOFCs using Methane Containing Fuel

In recent years, the interest for using biogas derived from biomass as fuel in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) has increased. To maximise the biogas to electrical energy output, it is important to study the effects of the main biogas components (CH₄ and CO₂), minor ones and traces (e.g. H₂S) on performance and durability of the SOFC. Single anode‐supported SOFCs with Ni–Yttria‐Stabilised‐Zirconia (YSZ) anodes, YSZ electrolytes and lanthanum‐strontium‐manganite (LSM)–YSZ cathodes have been tested with a CH₄–H₂O–H₂ fuel mixture at open circuit voltage (OCV) and 1 A cm^–2 current load (850 °C). The cell performance was monitored with electric measurements and impedance spectroscopy. At OCV 2–24 ppm H₂S were added to the fuel in 24 h intervals. The reforming activity of the Ni‐containing anode decreased rapidly when H₂S was added to the fuel. This ultimately resulted in a lower production of fuel (H₂ and CO) from CH₄. Applying 1 A cm^–2 current load, a maximum concentration of 7 ppm H₂S was acceptable for a 24 h period.     

Boosting intermediate temperature performance of solid oxide fuel cells via a tri-layer ceria–zirconia–ceria electrolyte

Using cost-effective fabrication methods to manufacture a high-performance solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is helpful to enhance the commercial viability. Here, we report an anode-supported SOFC with a three-layer Gd_0.1Ce_0.9O_1.95 (gadolinia-doped-ceria [GDC])/Y_0.148Zr_0.852O_1.926 (8YSZ)/GDC electrolyte system. The first dense GDC electrolyte is fabricated by co-sintering a thin, screen-printed GDC layer with the anode support (NiO–8YSZ substrate and NiO–GDC anode) at 1400°C for 5 h. Subsequently, two electrolyte layers are deposited via physical vapor deposition. The total electrolyte thickness is less than 5 μm in an area of 5 × 5 cm², enabling an area-specific ohmic resistance as low as 0.125 Ω cm⁻² at 500°C (under open circuit voltage), and contributing to a power density as high as 1.2 W cm⁻² at 650°C (at an operating cell voltage of 0.7 V, using humidified [10 vol.% H₂O] H₂ as fuel and air as oxidant). This work provides an effective strategy and shows the great potential of using GDC as an electrolyte for high-performance SOFC at intermediate temperature.     

A Novel Cell‐Array Design for Single Chamber SOFC Microstack

A novel design of single chamber solid oxide fuel cell (SC‐SOFC) microstack with cell‐array arrangement is fabricated and operated successfully in a methane–oxygen–nitrogen mixture. The small stack, consisting of five anode‐supported single cells connected in series, exhibits an open circuit voltage (OCV) of 4.74 V at the furnace temperature of 600 °C and a maximum power output of 420 mW (total active electrode area is 1.4 cm²) at the furnace temperature of 700 °C. A gas mixture of CH₄/O₂ = 1 leads to best performance and stability.     

Pd catalyzed Sr0.92Y0.08TiO3−δ/Sm0.2Ce0.8O2-δ anodes in solid oxide fuel cells

The effects of palladium (Pd) on Sm_0.2Ce_0.8O_2−δ coated Sr_0.92Y_0.08TiO_3−δ (SDC/SYT) anodes were investigated for H₂ and CH₄ fuels. The electrochemical oxidations of both H₂ and CH₄ were accelerated by Pd impregnation. Moreover, Pd in the SDC/SYT (Pd-SDC/SYT) anode improved the cell performance by a factor of approximately 2 for H₂ and 1.5 for CH₄. The open circuit voltage (OCV) of the wet CH₄ fuel increased with increasing temperature for both the SDC/SYT anode cell and Pd-SDC/SYT anode cell, which differs from that of the H₂ fuel. Notably, the OCV values of the Pd-SDC/SYT anode cell using wet CH₄ were much higher than those using wet H₂. We observed differing potentials for the reformed gases after the out-of-cell catalyst experiment, and the CH₄ fuel with the Pd-SDC catalyst layer agreed well with the OCVs of the Pd-SDC/SYT anode cell with directly introduced wet CH₄ fuel. These results indicate the OCVs were higher than the theoretical values based on electrochemical hydrogen oxidation at increased temperatures in the Pd-SDC/SYT anode cell because of the lower water partial pressure caused by the increased steam reformation activity of Pd.
