Bismuth oxide-based solid electrolytes for fuel cells
نویسنده
چکیده
During the last three decades, a large number of investigations has been reported pertaining to the science and technology of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) based mainly on the yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte. Because of the problems associated with the high temperature of operation ( ,-~ 1 000 ~ of the YSZ-based cells, there has been a substantial effort to develop alternative electrolytes with ionic conductivity comparable to that of YSZ at relatively lower temperatures. This review presents a systematic evolution in the area of the development of new electrolytes based on bismuth sesquioxide for fuel cell applications at moderate temperatures.

Bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) is an important component of several ferroelectric, 1 multiferroic 2,3 and superconducting oxide materials. 4 It has also received much interest due to its use as an ion conducting electrolyte material in solid oxide fuel cells, 5 an electrode material in discriminating gas sensors 6 and as an effective UV light photocatalyst. 7,8 There are a number of distinct crystallogr...
متن کاملComposite Electrolytes and electrodes for Intermediate Temperature Hybrid Fuel Cells
Moving away from conventional solid oxide electrolytes, hybrid fuel cells based on composite electrolytes (a solid oxide electrolyte and a molten alkaline carbonate phase) exhibit promising performance due to the high electrolyte conductivity within the so-called intermediate temperature ranges (400-600 C). These electrolytes are a blend of those traditionally used in Solid Oxide and Molten Car...

Solid electrolytes based on doped cerium oxide, Ce(M)O2-δ (M = rare-earth cations), are of considerable interest for potential use in low temperature solid oxide fuel cells (LTSOFCs) due to its higher ionic conductivity than YSZ based solid electrolyte. In this research work, crystalline, pure Ce1-xMxO2-δ (where M = Gd or Sm, x = 0.10 or 0.20) based nanoparticles were prepared by chemical prec...
