Protonic ceramic fuel cells (PCFCs) are clean and efficient power generation devices operating at intermediate temperatures. However, manufacturing difficulties have limited their commercialization, especially for promising tubular PCFCs. Herein, we report a cost-effective 3D printing technique large-area PCFCs (e.g., 15.7 cm2), featured with the use of commercial raw materials, small amount binder, CO2 laser rapid in situ drying. The technical advantages enable low-cost material preparation...
Protonic ceramic fuel cells have attracted much attention due to their good performance at intermediate temperatures (400–700 °C). However, the highly resistive electrolyte-cathode interface has been discovered be a crucial obstacle inhibiting further cell improvements in performance. Herein, using model material system of BaCe0.7Zr0.1Y0.1Yb0.1O3-δ electrolyte, 40 wt % + 60 NiO anode, and BaCo0.4Fe0.4Zr0.1Y0.1O3-δ cathode, we proved that laser ablation electrolyte surfaces could accurately...

One of the essential challenges for energy conversion and storage devices based on protonic ceramics is that high temperature (1600-1700 °C) long-time firing (>10 h) are inevitably required fabrication, which makes sustainable clean manufacturing ceramic impractical. This study provided a new rapid laser reactive sintering (RLRS) method preparation nine [i.e., BaZr0.8Y0.2O3-δ (BZY20), BZY20 + 1 wt % NiO, BaCe0.7Zr0.1Y0.1Yb0.1O3-δ (BCZYYb), BCZYYb 40 60 BaCe0.85Fe0.15O3-δ-BaCe0.15Fe0.85O3-δ...
The state-of-the-art protonic ceramic electrolyte BaCe0.7Zr0.1Y0.1Yb0.1O3-δ (BCZYYb) dense films were successfully deposited on the pre-sintered Ni(O)+BCZYYb anode substrate by recently developed rapid laser reactive sintering (RLRS) method. separation of deposition from preparation porous makes it possible to manufacture fuel cells (PCFCs) with more desirable and microstructures. PCFC single prepared after introducing cathode thin film BaCo0.4Fe0.4Zr0.1Y0.1O3-δ (BCFZY0.1) showed OCVs...
Flexible power sources including fuel cells and batteries are the key to realizing flexible electronic devices with pronounced foldability. To understand bending effects in these devices, theoretical analysis on three-dimensional (3-D) lattice is necessary. In this report, we derive a 3-D analytical model analyze of electrolyte crystal ionic conductivity solid-state batteries/fuel cells. By employing solid oxide as materials' platform, intrinsic parameters bent materials, constant, Young's...
