Abstract
The solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) is an advanced electrochemical device with a promising future in reducing CO2 emissions. Currently, the insufficient oxygen evolution reaction activity in conventional anode materials severely restricts the development of electrolytic CO2. Herein, the PNCO-LSC composite oxygen electrode was exploited by impregnating Pr2Ni0.8Co0.2O4+δ (PNCO) on the surface of La0.6Sr0.4CoO3-δ (LSC) oxygen electrode. The results of electrochemical tests and various physicochemical characterizations indicate that the infiltration of PNCO can lead to a significant improvement in the performance of the cell for CO2 electroreduction by increasing the surface oxygen exchange. The current density of the PNCO-LSC oxygen electrode infiltrated twice at 800 °C and 1.5 V reaches 0.917 A cm-2, which is about 40% higher than that of the bare LSC oxygen electrode. In addition, the single cell did not show significant degradation in a long-term stability test at a current density of 0.4 A cm-2 for 100 h of electrolysis. Therefore, the PNCO-LSC composite oxygen electrode material is effective in enhancing electrolytic CO2 performance.
