Abstract
In this contribution, a reversible Solid Oxide Cell based on perovskites was developed. La0.6Sr0.4Ga0.3Fe0.7O3 (LSGF) was chosen as electrode and deposited onto La0.9Sr0.1Ga0.8Mg0.2O3
(LSGM) electrolyte. The cell was investigated from the morphological
(SEM) and compatibility (XRD) point of view. Electrochemical
investigation confirmed that the cell can operate in fuel cell and in
electrolyser modes. Impregnation with CGO and Pd allowed a 15 times
increment of the power density (until limit is the cell architecture).
The same cell with an impregnated negative electrode was then tested in
steam electrolysis mode in a non-reducing environment. The overall
performance is slightly lower than state-of-the-art materials and
comparable with similar perovskites, and in general is fair considering
the needed cell optimization (i.e an anode supported configuration is
necessary). The cell (impregnated and not) activates at 0.7 V. Obtained
data suggest thus LSGF/LSGM/LSGF cell, is promising as reversible SOC
for intermediate temperature.
