Abstract
A high In-dopant level BaCeO3 material was used as an electrolyte for a proton-conducting solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). Indium behaved as an ideal dopant for BaCeO3, which improved both the chemical stability and sinterability for BaCeO3 greatly. The anode supported BaCe0.7In0.3O3-δ (BCI30) membrane reached dense after sintering at 1100 °C, much lower than the sintering temperature for other BaCeO3-based materials. Additionally, the BCI30 membrane showed adequate chemical stability against CO2 compared with the traditional rare earth doped BaCeO3. The BCI30-based fuel cell also showed a reasonable cell performance and a good long-term stability under the operating condition. Besides, the LaSr3Co1.5Fe1.5O10-δ (LSCF) was also evaluated as a potential cathode candidate for a proton-conducting SOFC.
