چکیده انگلیسی
Semiconductors have been successfully demonstrated as the electrolytes for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) in recent years. Many such semiconductors have shown their potentials as a competent ionic conductor for fuel cell operation, indicated by the appreciable ionic conduction and electrochemical performance. In the present study, we depart from traditional electrolyte concept to introduce a new semiconductor electrolyte, Li-doped ZnO to low-operating-temperature SOFCs. The used material was synthesized via a co-precipitation method and investigated from phase structure, morphology and UV-vis absorption perspectives. Utilizing Li-doped ZnO as electrolyte layer, we found the corresponding fuel cell exhibited a remarkable maximum power density of 443 mW cmâ2 along with open circuit voltage (OCV) of 1.07 V at 550 °C, and represented a lower-temperature operation feasibility with power outputs of 138-165 mW cmâ2 at 425-450 °C. Besides, high ionic conductivities of 0.028-0.087 S cmâ1 and low activation energy of 0.5 eV were also found in the synthesized Li-doped ZnO at 425-550 °C. Our investigation in terms of electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) analysis manifested that Li-doped ZnO as the electrolyte layer boosted the electrode reactions of the device, which resulted in rather small polarization resistances and eventually realized good low-temperature performances. Further study based on the rectification characteristic of Ni/Li-doped ZnO contact verified the Schottky junction formation of Li-doped ZnO with anodic Ni, which can avoid the underlying electronic short-circuiting problem. These findings show a profound significance of using doped semiconductor for the future exploitation of SOFC electrolytes.
