Tour program also predicts the concentration of oxygen in the fuel chamber as well as the concentration of equilibrium species such as H2, CO, CO2 and CH4. Compared with using hydrogen as a fuel, the e.m.f. for cells using BPG as the fuels is relative low and strongly influenced by carbon deposition. To remove carbon deposition, the optimum amount of H2O to add is determined at various operating temperatures. Further the e.m.f, for cells based on yttria stabilized zirconia and doped ceria as electrolytes are compared. The study reveals that when using BPG as fuel, the depression of e.m.f, for a SOFC using doped ceria as electrolyte is relatively small when compared with that using Yttria stabilized zirconia.展开更多

The nanoparticles were deposited onto porous pure ceria substrates via infiltration- heating processes, and the conductivity was determined with the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS） using the conductive model for infiltrated phases. The conductivity of the infiltrated doped ceria changes with the doping amount, and Gd0.25Ce0.75O2-δ, Sm0.2Ce0.8O2-δ, and Y0.15Ce0.85O2-δ show the highest values of 2.56, 3.01, and 2.07 × 10-3 S.cm-1 at 600 ℃, respectively. Overall, Sin-doped samples show the highest conductivity, whileY-doped samples show the lowest conductivity. In con- sideration of the Bruggeman factor, the intrinsic conduc- tivity of the infiltrated doped ceria was calculated. Compared with the bulk doped ceria, the intrinsic con- ductivity is higher while the activation energy is lower, which may suggest different conduction mechanisms. Besides, co-doping effects on the conductivity of the infiltrated sample are less obvious than those of the bulk sample.展开更多
