Abstract

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) using yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolytes, lanthanum strontium manganate cathodes, and La 1 - x Sr x BO 3 /YSZ anodes (where B = Mn, Cr, and Ti) were fabricated. The sulfur tolerance of the various perovskite-based anodes was examined at 1273 K in a H 2 /H 2 O fuel. The Sr 0 . 6 La 0 . 4 TiO 3 /YSZ (50/50 wt %) anode showed no degradation in the presence of up to 5000 ppm of H 2 S in a hydrogen fuel. This anode was also able to operate for 8 h with 1% H 2 S as a fuel and showed no degradation when the fuel was switched back to hydrogen.
