Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of novel solid oxide fuel cell and its preparation method and application, specifically, relate to a kind of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell with symmetry electrode and its preparation method and application, belong to Solid Oxide Fuel Cell technical field.
Background technology
Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) is a kind of efficient generating apparatus that chemical energy in fuel is converted into electric energy, if adopt the mode of cogeneration, its fuel availability can approach 75% in theory, and fuel availability has also exceeded 50% in the actual battery system having obtained, be converted in electric device at existing fuel, efficiency is the highest (high temperature solid oxide fuel cell-principle, design and application; Subhash, C.Singhal, Kevin Kendall chief editor, Han Minfang etc. translate; The 15th page).And SOFC not only can utilize hydrogen as fuel, also can utilize the hydrocarbon fuel including synthesis gas, alkane.The energy and environmental problem that high fuel availability and broad fuel range of choice face at present for the solution mankind are significant.
But Solid Oxide Fuel Cell at present, especially electrode is prepared aspect, still faces many technological challenges: 1) anode carbon deposition.At present, widely used anode material is metallic nickel, and the good conductivity of Ni is high to the catalytic activity of fuel, therefore, and with H
2during for fuel, Ni is a kind of excellent anode material.But in the time adopting hydrocarbon fuel, carbon can be adsorbed on metallic nickel particle, makes metallic nickel anode lose at short notice catalytic activity, therefore, the anode material exploration that is applicable to hydrocarbon fuel is imperative.2) thermal matching of material.Because SOFC relates to high-temperature calcination process in traditional electrode preparation, if therefore between adjacent materials thermal coefficient of expansion do not mate, easy generating electrodes obscission in preparation and use procedure, the torsional deformation that seriously even may cause battery with break.And in fact, multiple electrode material thermal coefficient of expansion and the electrolyte with high catalytic activity differs greatly, the thermal matching of traditional electrode preparation process requires to make these high-performance electrodes be difficult to be applied.

6synthetic method, and provide a kind of SOFC structure of applying above-mentioned material, wherein using this material simultaneously as cell cathode and anode, solved a difficult problem for galvanic anode carbon deposition.But in this patent application,, by utilizing silk screen print method to prepare symmetry electrode, electrode catalyst activity is low; And battery is take electrolyte as supporter, and Ohmic resistance is large, these have all hindered the further raising of battery performance.
The electrode dipping technology of preparing developing has in recent years overcome well thermal coefficient of expansion and has not mated the variety of issue causing.There is document to disclose and utilize the tape casting to prepare LSGM (La

3), the battery obtaining is take pure hydrogen as fuel, and air is oxidant, and power output exceedes 1W/cm at 550 ℃
2.The advantage of this electrode preparation method be electrode after electrolyte high-temperature sintering process, low temperature calcination obtains, and has solved material thermal expansion coefficient and has not mated various difficult problems that cause; And the electrode three-phase reaction interface of liquid infiltration deposition is large, electrode catalyst activity is high.But in above-mentioned battery preparation process, anode and cathode adopts different materials, need to prepare respectively, will definitely avoid anode and cathode material to contact in preparation process, in order to avoid it reacts to each other, affects the catalytic performance of electrode.And for reaching best infiltration amount, infiltration process may also need repeatedly to repeat, the preparation respectively of anode and cathode more will greatly extend the manufacturing cycle of battery, and then has increased battery cost (RSCA dvances, 2 (2012) 4075-4078).
