Intermediate temperature (IT) solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) development is hindered by slow oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and poor CO2 tolerance at the cathode electrode. Here, we present a successful synthesis of composite material consisting double perovskite structure Sr2CoNbO6−δ (SCNO) fluorite Sm0.2Ce0.8O2−δ (SDC), using one-pot method. Integrating SDC to form SCNO–SDC substantially augments number active sites, resulting in high ORR activity lower polarization resistance. Forming...

Abstract Electrochemical conversion of biomass to value‐added chemicals has gained impetus in recent years. Herein, we present a methodology for recovering biomass‐derived 2‐furoic acid from the dilute aqueous stream by reactive extraction. The extraction was performed using chemical extractant, trioctylamine (TOA), with diluents (octanol, chloroform, and diethyl ether). Equilibrium parameters influencing recovery were evaluated. Using TOA various diluents, recovered 85%–99% efficiency. A...
Boosting the lower oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity of perovskite cathode material is essential for development and widespread use IT-SOFC.
