Abstract

The Ni/YSZ composite electrode is conventionally used for solid oxide cells, in electrolysis (SOEC) as well as fuel cell (SOFC) operation. For enhanced durability and C-tolerance, alternative fuel electrode materials are needed. In this paper, we compare the performance of two distinct Ni:CGO electrocatalyst coated A-site deficient lanthanum doped strontium titanate (La0.4Sr0.4Fe0.03Ni0.03Ti0.94O3, LSFNT) based anodes, integrated into metal supported cells (MSCs), to the SoA Ni/YSZ anode supported cell in fuel cell mode for the first time. The three cells were investigated electrochemically by impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and performance under applied current (iV-curves) at temperatures 750˚C, 700˚C, 650˚C, and at novel 620˚C in steam/hydrogen and methane/steam. Additionally, one of the MSCs was investigated in CO/steam. Furthermore, galvanostatic durability tests were conducted in 4% steam/hydrogen for the MS-cells at low temperature (650˚C) at medium-high fuel utilization (50%).
