Sucrose-nitrate auto combustion synthesis of Ce0.85Ln0.10Sr0.05O2-δ (Ln = La and Gd) electrolytes for solid oxide fuel cells

Nanocrystalline powders of co-doped ceria oxides Ce_0.85La_0.10Sr_0.05O_2-δ (CLSO) and Ce_0.85Gda_0.10Sr_0.05O_2-δ (CGSO) have been synthesized by auto combustion method at 100°C using sucrose as fuel. Thermal analysis (TGA/DSC) of as-prepared powders indicated calcination above 400°C to remove organic residue. The average grain size of the pellets sintered at 1200°C for 4 hours is 436 and 683 nm for CLSO and CGSO, respectively. The electrical conductivity of the sintered samples was determined by impedance measurements in the temperature range 300°C to 600°C and the frequency range 20 Hz to 2 MHz. At 600°C, the total electrical conductivity (σ_t) of CGSO is 6.78 × 10⁻³ S cm⁻¹, 2.5 times higher than 2.72 × 10⁻³ S cm⁻¹ of CLSO. Further, it is found that the value of grain boundaries blocking factor (α_gb) of CGSO is 0.47 which is 30% lesser than 0.68 of CLSO at 600°C. The higher value of electrical conductivity of CGSO as compared to CLSO is attributed to the lesser blocking effect of grain boundaries, smaller lattice distortion and denser microstructure of CGSO as compared to CLSO. The electrical conductivity of synthesized samples has been compared with the electrical conductivity of similar compositions of co-doped CeO₂ oxides. Our study indicated that the sintering temperature, and hence, the morphology of sintered samples has a significant role in determining the electrical conductivity. The presence of oxygen vacancies in the synthesized samples is experimentally supported by using UV-visible spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and thermal analysis techniques.     

Performance enhancement of a direct absorption solar collector using copper oxide porous foam and nanofluid

The current research proposes the idea of using water-saturated metal oxide foams and water-based nanofluids as solar absorber in the direct absorption solar collectors (DASCs). Specifically, the novel solar collector design utilizes copper oxide (CuO) porous foam and nanoparticle with high optical properties and is expected to have enhanced thermal performance than the conventional collectors utilizing pure water. The finite volume technique is used to solve the governing equations of flow and heat transfer in the radiative participating media. Also, to establish the reliability and accuracy of numerical solutions, the obtained results are compared with the corresponding numerical and experimental data. The computations are carried out for different nanoparticle volume fractions, foam pore sizes, working fluid mass flow rates, and both porous layer thicknesses and positions (inserted at the lower or upper wall of the collector). It is found that the efficiency of DASC partially/fully filled with metal oxide foam is maximized when the collector is completely filled with it. Compared with the water flow, the numerical results show that the collector efficiency using CuO nanofluid and metal oxide foam is improved by up to 26.8% and 23.8%, respectively. Moreover, considering the second law of thermodynamics, the use of CuO nanofluids in the DASC seems to be more effective than the use of CuO porous foam.     

Chemo-mechanical coupling model of solid oxide fuel cell under high-temperature oxidation

Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), which is a generation device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy, has been regarded as a new generation device. The diffusion mechanism of metal cations and anions during the high-temperature oxidation process of SOFC is proposed. Based on the equilibrium expression and diffusion equation, the chemo-mechanical coupling relationship between oxide stress and thickness growth of the oxide layer is established by considering the influences of viscoplastic effect and oxide growth effect. The present theoretical result is consistent with the previous experimental results. In addition, the stress critical points corresponding to different parameters are different in initial oxidation stage. The oxide stress varies dramatically with time in the compressive stress phase, but it changes slowly in the tensile stress phase. The compressive stress that exists in the oxide layer increases with the growth coefficient (D_NiO = 1000-15 000 m⁻¹) of the oxide layer. The oxide stresses in oxide layer and electrolyte reduce with viscoplastic coefficient of the oxide layer from J_NiO = 8.97 × 10⁻⁵ Pa⁻¹ s⁻¹ to J_NiO = 16.97 × 10⁻⁵ Pa⁻¹ s⁻¹ and anode-oxide layer thicknesses from H = 30 μm to H = 660 μm, while they increase with viscoplastic coefficient of the anode from J_Ni = 3.81 × 10⁻⁵ Pa⁻¹ s⁻¹ to J_Ni = 12.81 × 10⁻⁵ Pa⁻¹ s⁻¹ and kinetic parabolic constant from k _p = 2.9 × 10⁻¹⁵ m²s⁻¹ to k _p = 12.9 × 10⁻¹⁵ m²s⁻¹ in whole oxidation stage. The oxide thickness increases with kinetic parabolic constant in the whole oxidation stage and this changing trend accords with parabolic diffusion law. The oxide thickness increases with temperatures increasing. The results obtained from this study will provide the reference to the researches of the chemo-mechanical coupling model and performance optimization of SOFC under high-temperature oxidation.     

Synthesis of hybrid metal oxides with high degradation efficiency via a self-propagating process of metallic glasses

Establishing hetero-junctions are widely regarded as an efficient strategy in the area of photocatalysis. In this work, the series of hybrid CuO/ZrO₂/Y₂O₃ compounds were synthesized by self-propagating combustion of Cu₆₀Zr_40-xY_x (x = 0, 5, 10, 15) metallic glasses. The combustion process is self-sustaining and can be efficiently regulated with the ratio of Zr/Y. The synthesized products are irregularly shaped and uniformly dispersed with a particle size of approximately 100 nm–5 μm. The presence of Y₂O₃ in the hybrid oxides stabilizes the ZrO₂ phase and narrows the bandgap energy of as-synthesized powders. For the photocatalytic ability in degrading Methylene Blue (MB), it was demonstrated that the optimal addition of yttrium in the precursor is approximately 10 at% to the formation of best photocatalysts in the current work. Our findings not only provide the new approach to synthesize highly photocatalytic hybrid metal oxides, but also extend the functional applications of amorphous alloys.

3D thermo-electro-chemo-mechanical coupled modeling of solid oxide fuel cell with double-sided cathodes

A solid oxide fuel cell based on double-sided cathodes is developed in our group, showing special properties and many advantages under some harsh conditions. To optimize the cell further, a thermo-electro-chemo-mechanical coupled 3D model is developed to simulate the distributions of temperature, current density, fuel gas and thermal stress under different voltages. The numerical results indicate that the temperature distribution, current, fuel gases and thermal stress is non-uniform in the cell at different voltages. The distribution of thermal stress in the electrolyte is also non-uniform because of the un-even electrochemical reaction and convective heat transfer. Furthermore, the result shows that about 47%~54% of maximum 1st principal stress in SOFC is caused by the mismatch of coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) among materials, while the other part of the maximum 1st principal stress is mainly caused by temperature gradient.     

Investigation of LSM-8YSZ cathode within an all ceramic SOFC. Part I: Chemical interactions

This work focuses on a novel, co-sintered, all-ceramic solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) concept. The objective is the understanding of interaction and degradation mechanisms of the cathode and current collector layers within the design during co-sintering. Half cells consisting of silicate mechanical support, lanthanum strontium manganite (LSM) current collector, LSM mixed with 8 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia (8YSZ) composite cathode and 8YSZ electrolyte were co-sintered at 1150 °C < T < 1250 °C. Crystallographically stable LSM compositions within the design were identified. However, the cathode and silicate/electrolyte interacted by interdiffusion of Zn (gas diffusion) and Mn (solid diffusion), and by the formation of several reaction phases (between silicate and cathode only). Introducing silicate poisoning decreased the electrochemical performance of the cell by around 40%. This is likely due to the formation of the Zn- and Mn-rich phase in the cathode, but may also be caused by a higher ohmic resistance of the current collector.     

Microstructural evaluation and thermal oxidation behaviors of YSZ/NiCoCrAlYTa coatings deposited by different thermal techniques

In this paper, two coating techniques, the high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) and air plasma spray (APS) techniques, were used to deposit a bond coat of NiCoCrAlYTa on the Inconel 625 substrate, followed by applying a topcoat of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ). The samples were preoxidized in an argon-controlled furnace at a temperature of 1000 °C for 12 and 24 h to characterize the microstructure of a thermally grown oxide (TGO) using the two coating techniques. The most suitable preoxidized samples were further tested for isothermal oxidation at 1000 °C for up to 120 h, and a hot corrosion test was performed at 1000 °C for up to 52 h or until spalling occurred. As-sprayed and oxidized samples prepared with different coating techniques were evaluated in terms of their microstructure using different characterization methods, such as field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), variable pressure scanning electron microscopy (VPSEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. In addition, the mechanical properties of these samples were evaluated using adhesion tests. The results show that the YSZ/NiCoCrAlYTa coating applied with the HVOF technique forms a more thin and continuous layer of TGO than that obtained when applying a YSZ/NiCoCrAlYTa coating using the APS technique, indicating that a severe brittle oxidation interface exists between the two layers. The results also indicate that the mechanical strength obtained from the adhesion test of the coated samples is observably affected by the oxidation behaviors obtained with the different deposition techniques chosen.
