Performance of La0.8Sr0.2CoO3 coated NiO as cathodes for molten carbonate fuel cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
La0.8Sr0.2CoO3 was coated on NiO (LSC–NiO) cathodes using a sol–gel method. Dissolution studies in molten Li2CO3 and K2CO3 (62:38 mol%) at 650 8C showed lower Ni dissolution than that of the conventional nickel oxide cathode. Impedance analysis showed that the behavior of the developed cathode is similar to that of nickel oxide. The LSC coated Ni cathode has an over potential of 109 mVat an applied current density of 160 mA/cm. The LSC–NiO shows promise as an alternate cathode in molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs). # 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

متن کاملMolten Carbonate Fuel Cells for Electrolysis
The molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) has evolved to current megawatt-scale commercial power plants. When using the fuel cell for electrolysis (MCEC), it provides a promising option for producing fuel gases such as hydrogen, via water electrolysis, and syngas, via co-electrolysis of water and carbon dioxide. The molten carbonate cell can thereby operate reversibly as a dual energy converter for...
