Abstract
Sluggish reaction kinetics in oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is one of the most important challenges to the development of protonic ceramic fuel cells (PCFCs). La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3−δ (LSCF) exhibits high mixed ionic–electronic conductivity in traditional solid oxide fuel cells, but their slow proton transfer and ORR kinetics impedes practical applications. Herein, composite Pr2Ni0.5Co0.5O4−δ (PNC) particles composed of a perovskite PrNi0.5Co0.5O3−δ phase and a PrO2 phase are impregnated into a LSCF cathode to enhance the ORR activity and proton transfer. The polarization tested in a symmetric cell with PNC-impregnated LSCF cathode is 0.06 Ω cm2 at 700 °C. The fuel cell with this impregnated cathode shows maximum power densities of 1857 mW cm−2 at 700 °C. Moreover, the impregnated cathode exhibits a low degradation rate in the durability test. This work not only provides a novel and practical approach to improving the performance of current cathode materials for PCFCs but also highlights the potential for enhancing the commercial viability of PCFC technology.
