Comparison of Electrochemical Synthesis of Ammonia by Using Sulfonated Polysulfone and Nafion Membrane with Sm1.5Sr0.5NiO4

Polysulfone (PSF) and sulfonated polysulfone (SPSF) were synthesized and characterized by IR spectrum. Sm_1.5Sr_0.5NiO₄ (SSN) and Ni‐Ce_0.8Sm_0.2O_2?δ (Ni‐SDC, Ni‐samarium doped ceria) were prepared and characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

The performances of Nafion and SPSF membranes in ammonia synthesis were investigated and compared at atmospheric pressure and low temperature (25–100°C). The results demonstrated that the proton conducting performances of Nafion and SPSF membranes were similar and the highest rates of evolution of ammonia were up to 1.05×10^?8 and 1.03×10^?8 mol·cm^?2·s^?1 respectively at 80°C and 2.5 V.     

一种新型氧离子导体：La3GaMo2O12

Property improvement of nanocellulose‐reinforced proton exchange nanocomposite membrane coated with tetraethyl orthosilicate

Study on proton exchange membrane (PEM) with the aim toward excellent battery performance of PEM for fuel cells has attracted increasing attention. In this work, nanocellulose (CNC) aminated by KH792 noted as NN was prepared. CNC or NN/sulfophenylated poly(ether ether ketone ketone) (sPEEKK) nanocomposite membrane (SN) or (SNN) were produced by solution mixing. SNN was further coated with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) to obtain SNNT. The properties of sPEEKK, SN, SNN, and SNNT membranes were thoroughly investigated. The proton conductivity of SN4 was 0.22 S·cm^?1 at 90 °C, while a proton conductivity of 0.30 S·cm^?1 was obtained for SNN4, and an even higher value of 0.36 S·cm^?1 at 90 °C was obtained for the TEOS‐coated SNN4 (SNN4T). Meanwhile, SNN4T showed high thermal stability, and its T_d5 was as high as 318.2 °C. Furthermore, the composite membrane coated with TEOS also presented excellent oxidative stability. The mass of SNN2T after treated in Fenton agent for 1 h at 80 °C was still retained 96.2%, and it was not fully dissolved until 11 h. It was illustrated that aminated CNC/sPEEKK nanocomposite membranes coated with TEOS is a kind of promising materials as PEMs for fuel cells. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

Cobalt-free cathode material SrFe0.9Nb0.1O3−δ for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells

A cobalt-free cubic perovskite oxide, SrFe_0.9Nb_0.1O_3?δ (SFN) was investigated as a cathode for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs). XRD results showed that SFN cathode was chemically compatible with the electrolyte Sm_0.2Ce_0.8O_1.9 (SDC) for temperatures up to 1050 °C. The electrical conductivity of SFN sample reached 34–70 S cm^?1 in the commonly operated temperatures of IT-SOFCs (600–800 °C). The area specific resistance was 0.138 Ω cm² for SFN cathode on SDC electrolyte at 750 °C. A maximum power density of 407 mW cm^?2 was obtained at 800 °C for single-cell with 300 μm thick SDC electrolyte and SFN cathode.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Sulfonated Polyimides Containing Trifluoromethyl Groups as Proton Exchange Membranes

A novel sulfonated diamine, 4,4′‐bis(4‐amino‐3‐trifluoromethylphenoxy) biphenyl 3,3′‐disulfonic acid (F‐BAPBDS), was successfully synthesized by nucleophilic aromatic substitution of 4,4′‐dihydroxybiphenyl with 2‐chloro‐5‐nitrobenzotrifluoride, followed by reduction and sulfonation. A series of sulfonated polyimides of high molecular weight (SPI‐x, x represents the molar percentage of the sulfonated monomer) were prepared by copolymerization of 1,4,5,8‐naphathlenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (NTDA) with F‐BAPBDS and nonsulfonated diamine. Flexible and tough membranes of high mechanical strength were obtained by solution casting and the electrolyte properties of the polymers were intensively investigated. The copolymer membranes exhibited excellent oxidative stability due to the introducing of the CF₃ groups. The SPI membranes displayed desirable proton conductivity (0.52×10⁻¹–0.97×10⁻¹ S·cm⁻¹) and low methanol permeability (less than 2.8×10⁻⁷ cm²·s⁻¹). The highest proton conductivity (1.89×10⁻¹ S·cm⁻¹) was obtained for the SPI‐90 membrane at 80°C, with an IEC of 2.12 mequiv/g. This value is higher than that of Nafion 117 (1.7×10⁻¹ S·cm⁻¹). Furthermore, the hydrolytic stability of the obtained SPIs is better than the BDSA and ODADS based SPIs due to the hydrophobic CF₃ groups which protect the imide ring from being attacked by water molecules, in spite of its strong electron‐withdrawing behaviors.     

Synthesis and characterization of PrBaCo2 − x Ni x O5 + δ cathodes for intermediate temperature SOFCs

Nickel-substituted layered perovskite PrBaCo_{2 ? x} Ni _x O_{5 + δ} (PBCN) powders with various proportions of nickel (x?=?0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3, abbreviated as PBCN-0, PBCN-1, PBCN-2, and PBCN-3, respectively) are investigated as potential cathode materials for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs) based on the yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte. It is found that PBCN-1 has the highest electrical conductivity of 1,397 S cm^?1 at 400 °C. Substitution of Co by Ni decreases the thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) clearly. The average TEC at the temperature range of 35–900 °C decreases from 22.8?×?10^?6 K^?1 for PBCN-0 to 18.9?×?10^?6 K^?1 for PBCN-3. The polarization resistances of PBCN samples on YSZ electrolyte at 800 °C are 0.053, 0.048, 0.052, and 0.042 Ω cm² for PBCN-0, PBCN-1, PBCN-2, and PBCN-3, respectively. The single fuel cell with the configuration of PBCN-3/YSZ/Pt delivers the highest power densities of 100, 185, 360, 495, and 660 mW cm^?2 at 600, 650, 700, 750, and 800 °C, respectively.     

Characterization of electrically conductive vanadate glass containing tungsten oxide

New conductive glass with a composition of 20BaO·10Fe₂O₃·xWO₃·(70 ? x)V₂O₅ (x = 10–50) was investigated by means of Mössbauer spectroscopy. A marked decrease in quadrupole splitting (Δ) was observed after the isothermal annealing at 500 °C for 1,000 min, due to the structural relaxation of 3D-network composed of FeO₄, VO₄, and VO₅ units. After the isothermal annealing, a marked increase in the electrical conductivity (σ) was observed from 1.7 × 10^?5 to 1.0 × 10^?1 S cm^?1 when “x” was 10, whereas comparable σ values of 1.1 × 10^?4 and 2.0 × 10^?4 S cm^?1 were observed when “x” was 40. These results evidently show that structural relaxation of 3D-network structure involved with a marked increase in σ is intrinsic of “vanadate glass”. XRD pattern indicated several weak peaks due to needle-like BaFe₂O₄ and α-Fe₂O₃ when the glass sample with “x” of 20 was annealed at 500 °C for 1,000 min. SEM study proved the formation of needle-like BaFe₂O₄ just on the surface of the sample, whereas hexagonal BaFe₁₂O₁₉ were observed in the annealed sample with “x” of 40. Chemical durability of WO₃-containing vanadate glass was investigated by immersing each glass sample into 20 %-HCl solution for 72 h.     

Polymer electrolyte membranes by in situ polymerization of poly(ethylene carbonate‐co‐ethylene oxide) macromonomers in blends with poly(vinylidene fluoride‐co‐hexafluoropropylene)

Salt‐containing membranes based on polymethacrylates having poly(ethylene carbonate‐co‐ethylene oxide) side chains, as well as their blends with poly(vinylidene fluoride‐co‐hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF‐HFP), have been studied. Self‐supportive ion conductive membranes were prepared by casting films of methacrylate functional poly(ethylene carbonate‐co‐ethylene oxide) macromonomers containing lithium bis(trifluorosulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) salt, followed by irradiation with UV‐light to polymerize the methacrylate units in situ. Homogenous electrolyte membranes based on the polymerized macromonomers showed a conductivity of 6.3 × 10^?6 S cm^?1 at 20 °C. The preparation of polymer blends, by the addition of PVDF‐HFP to the electrolytes, was found to greatly improve the mechanical properties. However, the addition led to an increase of the glass transition temperature (T_g) of the ion conductive phase by ～5 °C. The conductivity of the blend membranes was thus lower in relation to the corresponding homogeneous polymer electrolytes, and 2.5 × 10^?6 S cm^?1 was recorded for a membrane containing 10 wt % PVDF‐HFP at 20 °C. Increasing the salt concentration in the blend membranes was found to increase the T_g of the ion conductive component and decrease the propensity for the crystallization of the PVDF‐HFP component. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Thermally Stable Super Ionic Conductor from Carbon Sphere Oxide

A highly stable proton conductor has been developed from carbon sphere oxide (CSO). Carbon sphere (CS) generated from sucrose was oxidized successfully to CSO using Hummers’ graphite oxidation technique. At room temperature and 90 % relative humidity, the proton conductivity of thin layer CSO on microsized comb electrode was found to be 8.7×10^?3 S cm^?1, which is higher than that for a similar graphene oxide (GO) sample (3.4×10^?3 S cm^?1). The activation energy (E_a) of 0.258 eV suggests that the proton is conducted through the Grotthuss mechanism. The carboxyl functional groups on the CSO surface are primarily responsible for transporting protons. In contrast to conventional carbon‐based proton conductors, in which the functional groups decompose around 80 °C, CSO has a stable morphology and functional groups with reproducible proton conductivity up to 400 °C. Even once annealed at different temperatures at high relative humidity, the proton conductivity of CSO remains almost unchanged, whereas significant change is seen with a similar GO sample. After annealing at 100 and 200 °C, the respective proton conductivity of CSO was almost the same, and was about ～50 % of the proton conductivity at room temperature. Carbon‐based solid electrolyte with such high thermal stability and reproducible proton conductivity is desired for practical applications. We expect that a CSO‐based proton conductor would be applicable for fuel cells and sensing devices operating under high temperatures.

Synthesis and ionic conductivity of hyperbranched poly(glycidol)

A novel hyperbranched poly(glycidol) (HPG) was prepared and characterized. The synthesized HPG was used as a substrate of a polymer electrolyte. The ionic conductivity of a blend of HPG, polyurethane (PU), and salt was studied. The ionic conductivity of HPG/PU/LiClO₄ was about 6.6 × 10^?6 S · cm^?1 at 20 °C and 6.3 × 10^?4 S · cm^?1 at 60 °C. The results indicated that HPG showed higher solubility for salt than linear polyether when both had the same [O]/[Li⁺] molar ratio. The main reason was that more cavities and a lower degree of chain entanglement in HPG resulted in a lower glass‐transition temperature and were beneficial for decreasing the aggregation of salt or enhancing the ionic conductivity. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Chemical Stability and Electrical Property of BaCe0.7Zr0.2Nd0.1O3-α Ceramic

BaCe_0.7Zr_0.2Nd_0.1O_3?α ceramic was prepared by solid state reaction. Phase composition, surface and fracture morphologies of the material were characterized by using XRD and SEM, respectively. Chemical stability against carbon dioxide and water steam at the high temperature was tested. The conductivity and ionic transport number of the material were measured by ac impedance spectroscopy and gas concentration cell methods in the temperature range of 500–900°C in wet hydrogen and wet air, respectively. Using the ceramic as solid electrolyte and porous platinum as electrodes, the hydrogen‐air fuel cell was constructed, and the cell performance at the temperature from 500 to 900°C was examined. The results indicate that BaCe_0.7Zr_0.2Nd_0.1O_3?α was a single phase perovskite‐type orthorhombic system, with high density and good chemical stability in carbon dioxide and water steam atmospheres at the high temperature. The conductivity of the material in wet hydrogen and wet air was increased as the temperature rises. In wet hydrogen, the material was a pure protonic conductor with the protonic transport number of 1 from 500 to 600°C, a mixed conductor of proton and electron with the protonic transport number of 0.973–0.955 from 700 to 900°C. In wet air, the material was a mixed conductor of proton, oxide ion and electron hole. The protonic transport numbers were 0.002–0.003, and the oxide ionic transport numbers were 0.124–0.179. The fuel cell could work stably. At 900°C, the maximum short‐circuit current density and power output density were 156 mA·cm^?2 and 40 mW·cm^?2, respectively.     

Electrosynthesis of Poly(azure B) from Sulfuric Acid Solution

Electrochemical polymerization of azure B from sulfuric acid solution was carried out by using cyclic voltammetry. The electrolytic solution consisted of 5.0 mmol · dm^?3 azure B and 0.3 mol · dm^?3 H₂SO₄. The temperature for polymerization was controlled at 20°C. A blue film, i.e., poly(azure B) was formed on a platinum foil and had a electrochemical reversibility, stability and a fast charge transfer ability in the 0.5 mol · dm^?3 Na₂SO₄ with pH ≤4.0 solution. The currents of both anodic and cathodic peaks are proportional to υ^1/2 at the scan rate (υ) region of 25 and 600 mV · s^?1 on the cyclic voltammograms. The conductivity of poly(azure B) is 2.8×10^?6 S · cm^?1 at 20°C. The UV‐visible spectrum and Raman spectrum of the polymer are different from those of the monomer. A possible polymerization mechanism of azure B was also proposed.

Solid solutions based on cesium monogallate CsGaO₂ are synthesized in the Ga₂O₃-TiO₂-Cs₂O system. Their crystalline structure and also temperature and concentration conductivity dependences are studied. The cesium cation character of conductivity is confirmed. The most conducting samples contain an excess of cesium oxide and have the structure of high-temperature γ-modification of KAlO₂. Their specific conductivity is (5.0–6.7) × 10^?3 S cm^?1 at 400 °C, (2.5–5.0) × 10^?2 S cm^?1 at 700°C at the activation energy of 33–35 kJ/mol^?1.     

Correlation between the structural,electrical and electrochemical performance of layered Li(Ni<Subscript>0.33</Subscript>Co<Subscript>0.33</Subscript>Mn<Subscript>0.33</Subscript>)O<Subscript>2</Subscript> for lithium ion battery

The Li(Ni_0.33Co_0.33Mn_0.33)O₂ (LNCMO) cathode material is prepared by poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP)-assisted sol-gel/hydrothermal and poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(propylene glycol)-block-poly (ethylene glycol) (Pluronic-P123)-assisted hydrothermal methods. The compound prepared by PVP-assisted hydrothermal method shows a comparatively higher electrical conductivity of ~2?×?10^?5 S cm^?1 and exhibits a discharge capacity of 152 mAh g^?1 in the voltage range of 2.5 to 4.4 V, for a C-rate of 0.2 C, whereas the compounds prepared by P123-assisted hydrothermal method and PVP-assisted sol-gel method show a total electrical conductivity in the order of 10^?6 S cm^?1 and result in poor electrochemical performance. The structural and electrical properties of LNCMO (active material) and its electrochemical performance are correlated. The difference in percentage of ionic and electronic conductivity contribution to the total electrical conductivity is compared by transference number studies. The cation disorder is found to be the limiting factor for the lithium ion diffusion as determined from ionic conductivity values.     

Electrical conductivity and defect structure of Nd2O3+x

The electrical conductivity and departure from the stoichiometry of Nd₂O₃ have been measured over the temperature range of 900° to 1100°C and oxygen partial pressure of 1 to 10^?16 atm. The hole conductivity of Nd₂O₃ is found to be proportional to , where n are 4.6, 4.9, and 5.1 at 900°, 1000°, and 1100°C, respectively. From the oxygen partial pressure dependence of the hole conductivity, it is shown that the predominant point defects in nonstoichiometric NdO_1·+x are fully ionized and partially doubly ionized metal vacancies. From the thermogravimetric measurements, the departure from stoichiometry, x in NdO_1·5+x, is 2.0 × 10^?3 at 1000°C and 1 atm. By combining the electrical conductivity and weight change data, it is shown that the hole mobility is 6.3 × 10^?4 (cm²/V·sec) at 1000°C and 1 atm.     

Low temperature preparation and fuel cell properties of rare earth doped barium cerate solid electrolytes

The solid electrolytes, BaCe_(0.8) Ln_(0.2)O_(2.9) (Ln: Gd, Sm, Eu), were prepared by the sol-gel method. XRD indicated that a pure orthorhombic phase was formed at 900℃.
