Abstract:

Pr1.2Sr0.8NiO4 (PSNO) and Sm0.2Ce0.8O1.9 (SCO) powders were synthesized by a glycine-nitrate process and a gel-casting process, respectively. Pr1.2Sr0.8NiO4-x Sm0.2Ce0.8O1.9 (x=0, 25, 50) composite cathode materials were prepared by mechanically mixing the two powders. The particle size of the synthesized PSNO and SCO powders is about 100nm and 50nm, respectively. PSNO and SCO have a good chemical compatibility. Area specific resistance value for the Pr1.2Sr0.8NiO4-x Sm0.2Ce0.8O1.9 (x=25, 50) composite cathode on SCO electrolyte is 0.087 and 0.076Ωcm2 at 750°C, which indicates Pr1.2Sr0.8NiO4-Sm0.2Ce0.8O1.9 composite materials may be a promising cathode material for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell (IT-SOFC).
