A polybenzimidazole (PBI)/Sn0.95Al0.05P2O7 (SAPO) composite membrane was synthesized by an in situ reaction of SnO2 and Al(OH)3-mixed powders with an H3PO4 solution in a PBI membrane. The formation of a single phase of SAPO in the PBI membrane was completed at a temperature of 250 °C. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the PBI membrane was not subject to a serious damage by the presence of SAPO until 500 °C. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that SAPO particles with a diameter of approximately 300 nm were homogeneously dispersed and separated from each other in the PBI matrix. Proton magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectra confirmed the presence of new protons originating from the SAPO particles in the composite membrane. As a consequence of the interaction of protons in the SAPO with those in the free H3PO4, the H3PO4-doped PBI/SAPO composite membrane exhibited conductivities several times higher than those of an H3PO4-doped PBI membrane at room temperature to 300 °C, which could contribute to the improved performance of H2/O2 fuel cells.  相似文献

H3PO4 content plays a critical role in high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (HT-PEMFC), as it is responsible for the majority of the conductivity of the key components under high temperature operation. The conductivities of commercial AB-PBI membranes doped by immersing in 85 wt.% H3PO4 for different times and temperatures are investigated. The effect of H3PO4 loading in electrodes, including the AB-PBI polymer and a Pt/C catalyst, is also studied. The as-prepared electrodes and membranes are combined to fabricate a membrane electrode assembly for HT-PEMFCs. The results reveal that AB-PBI membranes doped with 85 wt.% H3PO4 at 90 °C for 9 h display a maximum conductivity of 33 mS cm−1. This membrane was selected and combined with electrodes including 15 wt.% AB-PBI and 0.75 mg cm−2 Pt with different H3PO4 loadings. A maximum current density of 260 mA cm−2 was achieved in the as-prepared MEA (with 5 mg cm−2 H3PO4 in electrodes) operating at 0.6 V and 160 °C, using oxygen and hydrogen.  相似文献

The effect of H2O2 on the Pt dissolution in 0.5 mol dm−3 H2SO4 was investigated using an electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM). For the potential cycling at 50 mV s−1, the Pt weight irreversibly decreases in a N2 atmosphere with H2O2, while only a negligible Pt weight-loss is observed in the N2 and O2 atmospheres without H2O2. The EQCM data measured by the potential step showed that the Pt dissolution in the presence of H2O2 depends on the electrode potential and the H2O2 concentration. For the stationary electrolysis, the Pt dissolution occurs at 0.61–1.06 and 1.06–1.36 V vs. RHE. It should be noted that the Pt dissolution phenomenon in the presence of H2O2 is also affected by the potential scanning time. Based on these results, H2O2 is considered not only to contribute to the formation of Pt-oxide causing the cathodic Pt dissolution, but also to participate in the anodic Pt dissolution and the chemical Pt dissolution.  相似文献

LiFePO4, olivine-type LiFe0.9Mn0.1PO4/Fe2P composite was synthesized by mechanical alloying of carbon (acetylene back), M2O3 (M = Fe, Mn) and LiOH·H2O for 2 h followed by a short-time firing at 900 °C for only 30 min. By varying the carbon excess different amounts of Fe2P second phase was achieved. The short firing time prevented grain growth, improving the high-rate charge/discharge capacity. The electrochemical performance was tested at various C/x-rate. The discharge capacity at 1C rate was increased up to 120 mAh g−1 for the LiFe0.9Mn0.1PO4/Fe2P composite, while that of the unsubstituted LiFePO4/Fe2P and LiFePO4 showed only 110 and 60 mAh g−1, respectively. Electronic conductivity and ionic diffusion constant were measured. The LiFe0.9Mn0.1PO4/Fe2P composite showed higher conductivity and the highest diffusion coefficient (3.90 × 10−14 cm2 s−1). Thus the improvement of the electrochemical performance can be attributed to (1) higher electronic conductivity by the formation of conductive Fe2P together with (2) an increase of Li+ ion mobility obtained by the substitution of Mn2+ for Fe2+.  相似文献

Sm1.8Ce0.2CuO4-xCe0.9Gd0.1O1.95 (SCC-xCGO, x = 0-12 vol.%) composite cathodes supported on Ce0.9Gd0.1O1.95 (CGO) electrolyte are studied for applications in IT-SOFCs. Results show that Sm1.8Ce0.2CuO4 material is chemically compatible with Ce0.9Gd0.1O1.95 at 1000 °C. The composite electrode exhibits optimum microstructure and forms good contact with the electrolyte after sintering at 1000 °C for 4 h. The polarization resistance (Rp) reduces to the minimum value of 0.17 Ω cm2 at 750 °C in air for SCC-CGO06 composite cathode. The relationship between Rp and oxygen partial pressure indicates that the reaction rate-limiting step is the surface diffusion of the dissociative adsorbed oxygen on the composite cathode.  相似文献

The surface-modified ZnO by Sn6O4(OH)4 was prepared by a simple hydrolyzation process and the influence of Sn6O4(OH)4 on electrochemical performance of ZnO was investigated by charge/discharge cycling test, slow rate cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Compared with the unmodified ZnO, the Sn6O4(OH)4-modified ZnO showed improved electrochemical properties, such as superior electrochemical cycle stability, higher discharge capacity and utilization ratio. The surface modification could suppress the dissolution of ZnO in the alkaline electrolyte and maintain the electrochemical activity of ZnO. When the Sn6O4(OH)4 content reached 27 wt.%, the discharge capacity of the modified ZnO hardly declined over 80 cycling test, the average utilization ratio could reach 98.5%, and the modified ZnO electrodes had no obvious weight loss after the cycling tests. However, the charge/discharge plateau voltage with the Sn6O4(OH)4-modified ZnO slightly decreased. For the modified ZnO electrodes, two anodic peaks occurred in the CV curves, and the charge transfer resistance increased from the EIS results, both of which were ascribed to the suppressive effect of surface modification on the electrochemical reactions.  相似文献

Pt–Cu catalysts supported on Al2O3 and Nb2O5 were studied for use in selective CO oxidation. The addition of copper enhanced the activity and selectivity of Pt–Cu/Nb2O5 at lower temperatures when compared to Pt/Nb2O5. On the other hand, copper addition was not beneficial in the case of Al2O3 supported catalysts.  相似文献

The In-doped HLaNb2O7 oxide semiconductors synthesized by solid-state reaction followed by an ion-exchange reaction were found to be a novel composite photocatalyst system with enhanced activity for water splitting. Pt was incorporated in the interlayer of In-doped HLaNb2O7 by the stepwise intercalation reaction. The In-doped HLaNb2O7 powder samples were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrometry. The photocatalytic activities of Pt-loaded In-doped HLaNb2O7 and individual precursor materials were evaluated by H2 evolution from aqueous CH3OH solution under UV light irradiation. It was found that the composite In-doped HLaNb2O7 showed a higher H2 evolution rate in comparison with individual materials. The hydrogen production activity of In-doped HLaNb2O7 was greatly enhanced by Pt co-incorporation. The In content in the In-doped HLaNb2O7 system was discussed in relation to the photophysical and photocatalytic properties. As In content equal 5 mol%, the HLaNb2O7:In/Pt showed a photocatalytic activity of 354 cm3 g−1 hydrogen evolution in 10 vol% methanol solution under irradiation from a 100 W mercury lamp at 333 K for 3 h.  相似文献

The polarization behaviors of platinum electrode were investigated with a single cell employing CsH2PO4/SiP2O7-based composite electrolyte. The electrochemical measurements were conducted in the temperature range of 180–240 °C under various humidity conditions. The cell performance was enhanced during several discharge cycles, and then the steady state was attained. The active triple phase boundary (TPB) appears to be spontaneously formed. The polarization behaviors for both anode and cathode were strongly affected by the electrolyte conductivity due to its humidity dependence. In accordance with this tendency, the maximum performance was achieved at 220 °C in 30% humidified condition whereas the deterioration was observed at 240 °C. Throughout the analysis, however, the performance limitation was mainly due to cathodic polarization at every condition. The cathodic overpotential showed a linear dependence against the log of current density at each temperature, which can be expressed as a Tafel equation. Then, the influence of steam concentration and temperature on the electrochemical kinetics was also discussed.  相似文献

A novel perovskite intercalated nanomaterial HLaNb2O7/(Pt, TiO2) is fabricated by successive intercalated reaction of HLaNb2O7 with [Pt(NH3)4]Cl2 aqueous solution, n-C6H13NH2/C2H5OH organic solution and acidic TiO2 colloid solution, followed by ultraviolet light irradiation. The gallery height and the band gap energy of HLaNb2O7/(Pt, TiO2) is less than 0.6 nm and 3.14 eV, respectively. The photocatalytic activity of HLaNb2O7/TiO2 is superior to that of unsupported TiO2 and is enhanced by the co-incorporation of Pt. The photocatalytic hydrogen evolution based on HLaNb2O7/(Pt, TiO2) is 240 cm3 h−1 g−1 using methanol as a sacrificial agent under irradiation with wavelength more than 290 nm from a 100-W mercury lamp. High photocatalytic activity of HLaNb2O7/(Pt, TiO2) may be due to the host with rare earth La element and perovskite structure, the quantum size effect of intercalated semiconductor and the coupling effect between host and guest.  相似文献

Composite cathodes of La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3 (LSCF) and Y2O3 stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ) are fabricated by impregnating the porous YSZ scaffold pre-formed on YSZ electrolyte substrate with a solution containing La, Sr, Co and Fe in desired composition. The performance stability of the cathodes is evaluated in air at 750 °C for up to 120 h by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy under the condition of open circuit. An insignificant small amount of resistive phase SrZrO3 is formed at 800 °C during cathode preparation; however, its volume is not further increased at 750 °C for 120 h, as indicated by the XRD results. The cathode polarization resistance (Rp) increases from 0.17 to 0.30 Ωcm2 after the 120 h test mainly due to the increase of the low frequency polarization resistance (Rp2), which characterizes the low frequency processes in the reaction of oxygen reduction. The morphology change of the well connected LSCF particles to dispersive and flattened configuration accounts for the increase of the Rp2 and in turn the degradation of cathode performance.  相似文献

To enhance the anhydrous proton conductivities of proton exchange membranes, we report here the incorporation of H3PO4 into three-dimensional (3D) framework of polyacrylamide-graft-starch (PAAm-g-starch) hydrogel materials using extraordinary absorption of hydrogels to H3PO4 aqueous solution. Intrinsic microporous structure can close to seal H3PO4 molecules in the interconnected 3D frameworks of PAAm-g-starch after suffering from dehydration. The hydrogel membranes are thoroughly characterized by morphology observation, thermal stability, swelling kinetics, proton-conducting performances as well as electrochemical behaviors. The results show that the H3PO4 loadings and therefore the proton conductivities of the hydrogel membranes are dramatically enhanced by employing PAAm-g-starch matrix. H3PO4 loading of 88.68 wt% and an anhydrous proton conductivity as high as 0.046 S cm−1 at 180 °C are recorded. A fuel cell using a thick membrane shows a peak power density of 517 mW cm−2 at 180 °C by feeding with H2/O2 streams. The high H3PO4 loading, reasonable proton conductivity in combination with simple preparation, low cost and scalable matrix demonstrates the potential use of PAAm-g-starch hydrogel membranes in high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells.  相似文献

The spinel LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 has been surface modified separately with 1.0 wt.% ZrO2 and ZrP2O7 for the purpose of improving its cycle performance as a cathode in a 5-V lithium-ion cell. Although the modifications did not change the crystallographic structure of the surface-modified samples, they exhibited better cyclability at elevated temperature (55 °C) compared with pristine LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4. The material that was surface modified with ZrO2 gave the best cycling performance, only 4% loss of capacity after 150 cycles at 55 °C. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy demonstrated that the improved performance of the ZrO2-surface-modified LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 is due to a small decrease in the charge transfer resistance, indicating limited surface reactivity during cycling. Differential scanning calorimetry showed that the ZrO2-modified LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 exhibits lower heat generation and higher onset reaction temperature compared to the pristine material. The excellent cycling and safety performance of the ZrO2-modified LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 electrode was found to be due to the protective effect of homogeneous ZrO2 nano-particles that form on the LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4, as shown by transmission electron microscopy.  相似文献

Pt electrode dissolution has been investigated using an electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) in H2O2-containing 0.5 mol dm−3 H2SO4. The Pt electrode weight-loss of ca. 0.4 μg cm−2 is observed during nine potential sweeps between 0.01 and 1.36 V vs. RHE. In contrast, the Pt electrode weight-loss is negligible without H2O2 (<0.05 μg cm−2). To support the EQCM results, the weight-decrease amounts of a Pt disk electrode and amounts of Pt dissolved in the solutions were measured after similar successive potential cycles. As a result, these results agreed well with the EQCM results. Furthermore, the H2O2 concentration dependence of the Pt weight-decrease rate was assessed by successive potential steps. These EQCM data indicated that the increase in H2O2 accelerates the Pt dissolution. Based on these results, H2O2 is known to be a major factor contributing to the Pt dissolution.  相似文献

This study presents the electrochemical performance of (Ba0.5Sr0.5)0.9Sm0.1Co0.8Fe0.2O3−δ (BSSCF) as a cathode material for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFC). AC-impedance analyses were carried on an electrolyte supported BSSCF/Sm0.2Ce0.8O1.9 (SDC)/Ag half-cell and a Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3−δ (BSCF)/SDC/Ag half-cell. In contrast to the BSCF cathode half-cell, the total resistance of the BSSCF cathode half-cell was lower, e.g., at 550 °C; the values for the BSSCF and BSCF were 1.54 and 2.33 Ω cm2, respectively. The cell performance measurements were conducted on a Ni-SDC anode supported single cell using a SDC thin film as electrolyte, and BSSCF layer as cathode. The maximum power densities were 681 mW cm−2 at 600 °C and 820 mW cm−2 at 650 °C.  相似文献

Thermal decomposition of (NH4)2SO4 in presence of Mn3O4   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
The main objective of this work is to develop a hybrid water-splitting cycle that employs the photon component of sunlight for production of H2 and its thermal (i.e. IR) component for generating oxygen. In this paper, (NH4)2SO4 thermal decomposition in the presence of Mn3O4, as an oxygen evolving step, was systematically investigated using thermogravimetric/differential thermal analyses (TG/DTA), temperature programmed desorption (TPD) coupled with a mass spectrometer (MS), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. Furthermore, thermolysis of ammonium sulfate, (NH4)2SO4, in the presence of Mn3O4 was also investigated by conducting flow reactor experiments. The experimental results obtained indicate that at 200-450 °C, (NH4)2SO4 decomposes forming NH3 and H2O and sulfur trioxide that in the presence of manganese oxide react to form manganese sulfate, MnSO4. At still higher temperatures (800∼900 °C), MnSO4 further decomposed forming SO2 and O2.  相似文献

A novel phosphoric acid doped Nafion–polybenzimidazole (H3PO4/Nafion–PBI) composite membrane was prepared and the H2/O2 single cell durability was tested at 150 °C without humidification. The durability was improved 55% compared with that of phosphoric acid doped polybenzimidazole (H3PO4/PBI). During the durability test, the hydrogen permeability of the membrane and the internal resistance of the single cell were detected using linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), respectively. Before and after the durability test, the mechanical strength of the membranes was measured by stress–strain tests. The results of characterization indicated that the enhanced durability of the membrane attributed to the improved mechanical strength, which benefited from the presence of Nafion in the Nafion and PBI matrix. The preliminary results suggested that the novel H3PO4/Nafion–PBI composite membrane is a good candidate in high temperature PEMFC for achieving longer cell lifetime.  相似文献
