What is it about?

La2NiO4+δ based oxides, mixed electronic-ionic conductors (MIECs) with K2NiF4 type structure, have been considerably investigated in recent decades as electrode materials for advanced solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) due to their high electrical conductivity and oxidation reduction reaction (ORR) activity.

Why is it important?

In this study, La1.7Ca0.3Ni0.75Cu0.25O4+δ was investigated as a potential cathode on La0.9Sr0.1Ga0.8Mg0.2O3 electrolyte support. Furthermore, La1.7Ca0.3Ni0.75Cu0.25O4+δ was examined on thin Ce0.8Gd0.2O2 (GDC) electrolyte with Ni-GDC anode support for intermediate temperature SOFCs (IT-SOFCs).

Perspectives

I am Tae Ho Shin (Timothy J. Shin) working at Korea Institute of Ceramic Engineering & Technology (KICET). I have studied on SOFC materials for long time under very good big guys. I explored several novel electrode to improve SOFC/SOEC's electro-catalytic acitvity through them. This RP layered structure electrode in this study is one of them. Solid Oxide Fuel Cell, it faces manifold obstacles to leap on to the commercial level in sustainable energy market. Our group, LEAP lab. (Low Emission Advanced Power Lab. at KICET), are exploring new concepts of materials and processing in fuel cells for the advanced power source.
