The development of a Co-free and Ni-free electrocatalyst for carbon dioxide electrolysis would be turning point the large-scale commercialization solid-oxide cells (CO2–SOECs). Indeed, demand cobalt nickel is expected to become critical by 2050 due automotive electrification. Currently, reference materials CO2–SOEC electrodes are perovskite oxides containing Mn or Co (anodes) Ni-YSZ cermets (cathodes). However, issues need addressed, such as structural degradation and/or deposition at...
The tailoring of multi-tasking perovskite oxide-based electrodes for solid oxide cells has shown growing interest. development flexible structures represents a crucial step towards the design symmetric and possibly SOFC/SOEC reversible systems. In this work, low (0.5 mol%) B-site Pt-doping in lanthanum strontium ferrite is presented as successful approach to enhance parent properties both SOC air fuel electrode. Structural, morphological electrochemical characterizations La 0.6 Sr 0.4 Fe...
La 0.6 Sr 0.4 Fe 0.8 Co 0.2 O 3-δ (LSCF) alone or mixed with doped ceria represents the reference air electrode material for IT-SOFC/SOEC, thanks to its intrinsic MIEC nature and unrivaled catalytic activity towards oxygen exchange reactions. Nevertheless, a steep growth in cobalt demand automotive (EVs) storage applications is expected next decades, ethical issues related mining politically unstable countries endanger supply chain [1]. Noble metal doping low extent ( ≤ 5% mol) has drawn...
