Abstract:

Solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC) is one of the most promising fuel cells,which is efficient and clean and suitable for a variety of fuel gases.Sc2O3 doped ZrO2(ScSZ) series(including single or binary oxides doped ScSZ) makes zirconia-based electrolyte shows excellent ionic conductivity.The nano-crystallization of ScSZ-based electrolyte has been widely studied due to its excellent electrical properties.However,ScSZ-based electrolyte will undergo phase transition at medium and low tem-perature,resulting in rhombic phase with low conductivity,which affects its ionic conductivity.ScSZ electrolytes doped with single or binary oxides were systematically summarized.The results showed that multi-oxides doped ScSZ could effectively pre-vent from phase transformation at medium and low temperatures,stabilize cubic ScSZ.Nano-crystallization ScSZ based elec-trolytes prepared by different methods could improve the ionic conductivity very well.The development direction of ScSZ se-ries in medium and low temperature(600~800 ℃) was proposed:the conductivity of grain and grain boundary could be im-proved through optimizing the doped composition,nano-crystallization and electrolyte materials with novel structures could be prepared by different preparation methods and parameters.
