Abstract
The interactions between sulfur and the Sr2Fe1.5Mo0.5O6-δ (SFMO) perovskite anode are investigated using periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations and constrained ab initio thermodynamic analysis under anodic solid oxide fuel cell conditions. Three surface models with different Fe:Mo ratios in the topmost layer are used to investigate the mechanism of sulfur poisoning. Sulfur prefers to interact with these surfaces by replacing existing oxygen rather than adsorbing on a metal or oxygen vacancy. Constructed phase diagrams suggest that the surface with higher Mo content on the gas exposed surface layer is highly resistant toward sulfur poisoning, whereas the FeO2 terminated surface is more susceptible to sulfur poisoning. The presence of S in the surface has also a negative impact on the surface vacancy formation process, which is the rate-controlling step in the H2 electro-oxidation. Adding a small Ni3 cluster to the least active FeO2 terminated surface promotes the oxygen vacancy formation; ho...
