چکیده

Doped Bi-based oxides were investigated as potential anode materials for direct hydrocarbon solid oxide fuel cells ~SOFCs! at intermediate temperatures. (Bi2O3)0.85(Ta2O5)0.15 met this criterion most successfully. A fraction of Bi2O3 in this material was reduced to BiO and Bi metal under fuel conditions, which yielded high conductivities ~,1 S cm! based on oxide ions and electrons above 500°C. Carbon deposition was successfully prevented when butane was used as the fuel below 800°C. The catalytic activities for hydrocarbon oxidation were high enough to promote the complete oxidation of butane during cell operation. These abilities provided an enhanced anode performance with increasing temperature from 600 to 750°C, and the resulting polarization resistance reached 1.4 V cm at 750°C. © 2004 The Electrochemical Society. @DOI: 10.1149/1.1667791# All rights reserved.

Ni cermet anodes are commonly used in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) [1–4], but there has been considerable interest in alternative oxide-based anodes [5]. The motivation for the alternative materials is to avoid problems with the Ni-based anodes, including susceptibility to coking in hydrocarbon and CO-rich fuels [6], poisoning by sulfur [7] and other fuel impurities [8], and degradation due t...
