Abstract

A low-temperature proton conductor electrolyte with CO2 tolerance that had a smaller drop in performance with decreasing operation temperature was developed. A Ni-anode-supported solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) comprising a proton-conducting BaZr0.4 Ce0.4Y0.2O3 (BZCY4) electrolyte and a Ba0.5 Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3 (BSCF) perovskite cathode was fabricated. An anode-supported thin-film electrolyte fuel cell was fabricated by the dual dry pressing/sintering process. A peak power density of 219 mW/cm2 was achieved at 750°C. while it still was 57 mW/cm2 at 400°C when operating on humidified H2 fuel using a cell with a 32 μm thick electrolyte.
