摘 要: | Perovskite structure La_(0.75)Sr_(0.25)Cr_(0.5)Mn_(0.5)O_(3-δ)(LSCM) cathode with unique structure can electrolyze CO_2 to CO in solid oxide electrolysers(SOEs).However,the cell performance is restricted by its electro-catalysis activity.In this work,fluorite structure nanoparticles(CeO_(2-δ)) are impregnated on LSCM cathode to improve the electro-catalysis activity.X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscope(SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) together approve that the fluorite structure nanoparticles are uniformly distributed on the perovskite structure LSCM scaffold.Electrochemical measurements illustrate that direct CO_2 electrolysis with 10%mol CeO_(2-δ) impregnated LSCM cathode exhibits excellent performance for current density(0.5 A×cm~(-2)) and current efficiency(~95%) at 800 ℃ under 1.6 V.It is believed that the enhanced performance of directed CO_2 electrolysis may be due to the synergetic effect of fluorite structure CeO_(2-δ) nanoparticles and perovskite structure LSCM ceramic electrode.
