Mixed Oxide-Ion And Carbonate-Ion Conductors (Moccs) As Electrolyte Materials For Solid Oxide Fuel Cells, Xue Li, Guoliang Xiao, Seung Min Lee, Kevin Huang Feb 2015

Mixed Oxide-Ion And Carbonate-Ion Conductors (Moccs) As Electrolyte Materials For Solid Oxide Fuel Cells, Xue Li, Guoliang Xiao, Seung Min Lee, Kevin Huang

Kevin Huang

A systematic investigation on the effective ionic conductivity (σm) of a novel intermediate temperature mixed oxide-ion and carbonate-ion conductor (MOCC) consisting of a ceria and a carbonate is reported. The study explicitly shows that the observed remarkable temperature-dependent σm is primarily the result of softening/melting of the carbonate phase as the physical state of the carbonate phase transforms from solid, softened to molten. DSC analysis complements the understanding of the observed electrical behavior by revealing temperatures of melting and solidification in agreement with the onset temperatures of σm. In addition, the measured σm agrees reasonably well with those simulated by …

Oxygen Permeation Through Cobalt-Containing Perovskites: Surface Oxygen Exchange Vs. Lattice Oxygen Diffusion, Kevin Huang, John B. Goodenough Feb 2015

Oxygen Permeation Through Cobalt-Containing Perovskites: Surface Oxygen Exchange Vs. Lattice Oxygen Diffusion, Kevin Huang, John B. Goodenough

Kevin Huang

The oxygen permeation fluxes from p′O2 to pnO2 (p′O2>pnO2) across cobalt-containing perovskite ceramic membranes La1−xSrxCoO3−δ and SrCo0.8Fe0.2O3−δ were measured by gas chromatography as functions of oxygen chemical potential gradient, temperature, thickness, and catalytic activity on the surface. Power indexes 0.5>n>0 for uncatalyzed La1−xSrxCoO3−δ and 1>n>0.5 for SrCo0.8Fe0.2O3−δ were obtained when JO2 vs. p′nO2p'′nO2 …
