摘要
Investigative results of Y concentration dependence of total conductivity, and testing results of self-supported cells, gave us knowledge to realize intermediate temperature operating SOFCs using Y-doped BaZrO3 proton conductors. An increase of Y concentration improved electrical properties of grain boundaries drastically. As a result, total conductivity of a 15mol% Y doped BaZrO3 sample in wet air and wet Ar showed 5mScm(-1) at 400 degrees C. The performance of the self-supported cells was very low because of high electrolyte resistance caused by those thicknesses. Open circuit voltage (OCV) was over 1V in the temperature range of 600 degrees C to 400 degrees C in spite of low ionic transparent number in wet air at 600 degrees C. Degradation of electrolytes was not observed during tests. From those results, electrode-supported cells using Y-doped BaZrO3 Will show sufficient cell performance for intermediate temperature SOFCs.
