In situ growth of copper-iron bimetallic nanoparticles in A-site deficient Sr2Fe1.5Mo0.5O6-δ as an active anode material for solid oxide fuel cells
Journal of Alloys and Compounds(2022)
摘要
The design of active anode materials with abundant active sites for fuel oxidation reaction is highly desirable. In-situ exsolution of nanoparticles from perovskite oxides is an effective approach to maintain its nanoscale dimensions and provide efficient active sites. Herein, a promising anode material decorated with copper-iron bimetallic nanoparticles is prepared by in-situ exsolution from A-site deficient Sr1.9Fe1.5Mo0.5−xCuxO6-δ double perovskite. With the doping of Cu, the agglomeration of iron nanoparticles is highly inhibited under reducing environment and copper-iron bimetallic nanoparticles can be uniformly formed. Through high temperature reduction, Sr1.9Fe1.5Mo0.5O6-δ substrate is transferred to heterostructure consisting of a Ruddlesden-Popper phase (Sr3FeMoO6.5) and a perovskite phase. The in-situ exsolved copper-iron bimetallic nanoparticles on the heterostructure can provide abundant active sites for fuel oxidation and lead to an improvement of polarization resistance from 0.41 Ω·cm2 to 0.22 Ω·cm2 at 800 °C under H2. In addition, the maximum power density is increased to 574 mW cm−2, which is about 37% higher than that of Sr1.9Fe1.5Mo0.5O6-δ. The present study provides a potential strategy for developing efficient anode materials for solid oxide fuel cells.
