Abstract: | The high volatility of boron from borosilicate glass sealants often leads to boron deposition and poisoning of La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3 (LSCF) cathode, presenting a challenge for the development of reliable solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). In this paper, we report that boron volatilization from borosilicate glass at 700 °C can be significantly suppressed by appropriate NiO dopant, mainly due to the increase of Si-O-B linkages in the combining B-O? and Si-O? network. Also, the formation of boron-containing phase in NiO-doping glass-ceramics has been studied, which suppresses the reaction between glass and LSCF cathode after heat treatment at 700 °C for 1000 h. Moreover, the change of crystalline phases leads to an improvement in thermal and electrical properties. We believe that our findings will open a new way for the design and development of the reliable sealing glass for SOFCs applications. |
