Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure relates to a cathode layer and a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) of a solid oxide fuel cell.

BACKGROUND

A solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is a fuel cell that uses solid ceramic materials as an electrolyte. The entire system of the solid oxide fuel cell operates at a temperature between 500° C. and 1,000° C., and it belongs to a high temperature fuel cell. Therefore, the solid oxide fuel cell has excellent fuel flexibility. Selectable fuels include methane, natural gas, city gas, biomass, diesel and other hydrocarbons.

However, in the membrane electrode assembly of the fuel cell, since the solid electrolyte differs greatly from the electrodes (i.e., cathode layer and the anode layer) in terms of thermal expansion coefficient (CTE), the solid electrolyte and the electrodes are easily destroyed and cracked due to the cyclic thermal stress, resulting in an operation failure of the solid oxide fuel cell.

SUMMARY

The cathode layer of the solid oxide fuel cell of the present disclosure consists of a plurality of perovskite crystal films, and the average change rate of linear thermal expansion coefficients of the perovskite crystal films along the thickness direction is about 5% to 40%.

The membrane electrode assembly of the solid oxide fuel cell of the present disclosure includes a cathode layer, an anode layer and a solid electrolyte layer disposed between the cathode layer and the anode layer, wherein the cathode layer consists of the above-mentioned perovskite crystal films, and the linear thermal expansion coefficients of the perovskite crystal films in the cathode layer are reduced towards the solid electrolyte layer.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the following detailed description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the disclosed embodiments. It will be apparent, however, that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are schematically shown in order to simplify the drawing.

FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a cathode layer of a solid oxide fuel cell in accordance with a first embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 1, the cathode layer 100 of the first embodiment consists of a plurality of perovskite crystal films 102a and 102b, and the average change rate of linear thermal expansion coefficients of the perovskite crystal films 102a and 102b along the thickness direction is about 5% to 40%, such as 10% to 35%, 20% to 35%, 10% to 25%, or 10% to 20%. The so-called “average change rate of linear thermal expansion coefficients along the thickness direction” indicates that, if there are N perovskite crystal films, (N−1) change rates of linear thermal expansion coefficients between the two adjacent layers along the thickness direction are obtained, and then the sum of these change rates is divided by (N−1) to obtain the average change rate. The material of the perovskite crystal films 102a and 102b includes, for example but not limited to, LaSrCoFe oxide, LaSrFe oxide or LaSrMn oxide, and the porosity of the perovskite crystal films 102a and 102b may be similar or substantially the same. The perovskite crystal films 102a and 102b may be basically made by the same or different perovskite materials. If perovskite crystal films 102a and 102b are made by the same material, such as LaSrCoFe oxide (e.g., La_1-xSr_xCo_1-yFe_yO₃, wherein 0.1≤x≤0.9 and 0.3≤y≤1.0, or 0.2≤x≤0.8 and 0.2≤y≤1.0), the linear thermal expansion coefficients thereof can be changed by adjusting the amount of Sr and the amount of Co. For example, by increasing the amount of Sr or Co, a perovskite crystal film material can be provided with a higher linear thermal expansion coefficient. In another embodiment, if the perovskite crystal films 102a and 102b are made by the same material, such as LaSrMn oxide (e.g., La_1-zSr_zMnO₃, wherein 0.1≤z≤0.5) or LaSrFe oxide (e.g., La_1-wSr_wFeO₃, wherein 0.1≤w≤0.5), the linear thermal expansion coefficients thereof can be changed by adjusting the amount of Sr. For example, by increasing the amount of Sr, a perovskite crystal film material can be provided with a higher linear thermal expansion coefficient.

In the first embodiment, the perovskite crystal film 102b is in contact with the solid electrolyte layer 104, and the perovskite crystal film 102a is not in contact with the solid electrolyte layer 104, so the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the perovskite crystal film 102b is smaller than the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the perovskite crystal film 102a. For example, the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the uppermost layer (e.g., perovskite crystal film 102a) along the thickness direction is, for example, 1.2×10⁻⁵/K to 2×10⁻⁵/K, or 1.8×10⁻⁵/K to 2×10⁻⁵/K, and the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the lowermost layer (e.g., perovskite crystal film 102b) along the thickness direction is, for example, 9×10⁻⁶/K to 1.5×10⁻⁵/K, or 1.2×10⁻⁵/K to 1.5×10⁻⁵/K, but the disclosure is not limited thereto.

FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a cathode layer of a solid oxide fuel cell according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein the reference numbers of the first embodiment are used to denote the same or like components of the second embodiment, reference is made to the description of the first embodiment for the same components, and the details are not iterated herein.

Referring to FIG. 2, the cathode layer 200 of the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the number of layers of perovskite crystal films.

Specifically, the perovskite crystal films of the second embodiment include a perovskite crystal film 202a as the uppermost layer along the thickness direction, a perovskite crystal film 202b, and a perovskite crystal film 202c as the lowermost layer along the thickness direction.

The average change rate of the linear thermal expansion coefficients of the perovskite crystal films 202a-c along the thickness direction and the material selection can refer to the first embodiment, wherein the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the uppermost layer (e.g., perovskite crystal film 202a) along the thickness direction is, for example, 1.2×10⁻⁵/K to 2×10⁻⁵/K, or 1.8×10⁻⁵/K to 2×10⁻⁵/K, and the lowermost layer (e.g., perovskite crystal film 202c) along the thickness direction is, for example, 9×10⁻⁶/K to 1.5×10⁻⁵/K, or 1.2×10⁻⁵/K to 1.4×0⁻⁵/K. In the second embodiment, the perovskite crystal film 202c is in contact with the solid electrolyte layer 104, the perovskite crystal films 202b and 202a are not in contact with the solid electrolyte layer 104, and the perovskite crystal films 202b are located between the perovskite crystal films 202a and 202c, so the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the perovskite crystal film 202c is smaller than the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the perovskite crystal film 202b, and the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the perovskite crystal film 202b is smaller than the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the perovskite crystal film 202a. For example, the linear thermal expansion coefficients of two adjacent layers in the perovskite crystal films 202a-c differ by 2×10⁻⁶/K to 5×10⁻⁶/K, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a cathode layer of a solid oxide fuel cell according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein the reference numbers of the first embodiment are used to denote the same or like components of the third embodiment, reference is made to the description of the first embodiment for the same components, and the details are not iterated herein.

Referring to FIG. 3, the cathode layer 300 of the third embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the number of layers of perovskite crystal films. The perovskite crystal films of the first embodiment include two layers, and the perovskite crystal films of the third embodiment include four layers. Specifically, the perovskite crystal films of the third embodiment include a crystal film 302a as the uppermost layer along the thickness direction, a perovskite crystal film 302b, a perovskite crystal film 302c, and a perovskite crystal film 302d as the lowermost layer along the thickness direction.

The average change rate of the linear thermal expansion coefficients of the perovskite crystal films 302a-d along the thickness direction and the material selection can refer to the first embodiment, wherein the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the uppermost layer (e.g., perovskite crystal film 302a) along the thickness direction is, for example, 1.2×10⁻⁵/K to 2×10⁻⁵/K, or 1.8×10⁻⁵/K to 2×10⁻⁵/K, and the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the lowermost layer (e.g., perovskite crystal film 302d) along the thickness direction is, for example, 9×10⁻⁶/K to 1.5×10⁻⁵/K, or 9×10⁻⁶/K to 1.3×10⁻⁵/K. In the third embodiment, the perovskite crystal film 302d is in contact with the solid electrolyte layer 104, the perovskite crystal films 302a-c are not in contact with the solid electrolyte layer 104, the perovskite crystal film 302c is located between perovskite crystal films 302b and 302d, and the perovskite crystal films 302b is located between the perovskite crystal films 302a and 302c, so the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the perovskite crystal film 302d is smaller than the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the perovskite crystal film 302c, the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the perovskite crystal film 302c is smaller than the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the perovskite crystal film 302b, and the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the perovskite crystal film 302b is smaller than the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the perovskite crystal film 302a. For example, the linear thermal expansion coefficients of two adjacent layers in the perovskite crystal films 302a-d differ by 1×10⁻⁶/K to 4.5×10⁻⁶/K, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a membrane electrode assembly of a solid oxide fuel cell in accordance with a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 4, the membrane electrode assembly 400 of the present embodiment includes a cathode layer 402, an anode layer 404, and a solid electrolyte layer 406 disposed between the cathode layer 402 and the anode layer 404. The cathode layer 402 may be any one of the cathode layers of the first to third embodiments. For example, the cathode layer 402 consists of perovskite crystal films 408a and 408b, and the average change rate of linear thermal expansion coefficients of the perovskite crystal films 408a and 408b along the thickness direction is about 5% to 40%, such as 10% to 35%, 20% to 35%, 10% to 25%, or 10% to 20%. Moreover, the linear thermal expansion coefficients of perovskite crystal films 408a and 408b are reduced towards the solid electrolyte layer 406, such that the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the perovskite crystal film 408b close to the solid electrolyte layer 406 is close to the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the solid electrolyte layer 406, and the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the perovskite crystal film 408a away from the solid electrolyte layer 406 is greater than the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the solid electrolyte layer 406. Such disposition helps to reduce the generation of thermal stress in the membrane electrode assembly 400 and allows the cathode layer 402 to be in direct contact with the solid electrolyte layer 406. For example, in the perovskite crystal films 408a and 408b, the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the outermost layer (e.g., perovskite crystal film 408a) is 1.2×10⁻⁵/K to 2×10⁻⁵/K, and the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the innermost layer (e.g., perovskite crystal film 408b) is 9×10⁻⁶/K to 1.5×10⁻⁵/K. In this embodiment, the material of the solid electrolyte layer 406 may include ZrO₂, CeO₂, Bi₂O₃, La(Sr)Ga(Mg)O₃ or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, ZrO₂ may include undoped ZrO₂, Yttria Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ), CeO₂-stabilized ZrO₂, Sc₂O₃-stabilized ZrO₂ or a combination thereof, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, CeO₂ may include undoped CeO₂, Sm-doped Ceria, Gd-doped Ceria, or a combination thereof, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. In this embodiment, the material of the anode layer 404 may include nickel oxide and at least one of the material of the solid electrolyte layer, and the material of the solid electrolyte layer is as described above. For example, the anode layer 404 may be Yttria Stabilized Zirconia containing nickel oxide or Sm-doped Ceria containing nickel oxide, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. In addition, the technology currently available for the membrane electrode assembly of a solid oxide fuel cell can also be combined with the cathode layer of the present disclosure having a specific change rate of linear thermal expansion coefficients along the thickness direction.

PREPARATION EXAMPLES 1-6

The disclosure utilized a pulse laser deposition method (PLD) to quickly prepare samples with desired characteristics. Perovskite crystal films with different compositions were deposited on a YSZ substrate, and the steps were as follows.

First, a silver glue was coated on the test piece holder and the YSZ substrate (with a linear thermal expansion coefficient of 9.9×10⁻⁶/K) was placed on top of the test piece holder. The silver glue was completely solidified after the sample was gently pressed and heated, and the sample was then placed in a PLD chamber. Next, the oxygen pressure in the chamber, the laser focal length and the substrate temperature were adjusted to the required conditions, such as a pressure of 80 mTorr to 100 mTorr and a temperature of about 600° C. to 700° C.

Next, according to the number of layers and the corresponding perovskite crystal film materials in Table 1 below, the targets were irradiated by a high-energy laser (double-target experiments: LaCoO₃, LaFeO₃, SrCoO_2.5, SrFeO₃), and the compositions of the films were adjusted by controlling the number of shots irradiated on different targets. The first layer is defined as the layer closest to the YSZ substrate, the second layer is defined as the layer on the first layer, and so on. In addition, each layer of the perovskite crystal films of the present disclosure can also be formed by screen printing, and is not limited to the experimental steps.

The prepared samples were taken out for the following analysis.

<Variable Temperature X-Ray Diffraction>

The crystal structure of each sample was analyzed by X-ray diffraction. During the measurement process, a Cu-Kα radiation with a wavelength of 0.154 nm was used, the scanning angle (20) was set from 30° to 32°, the scanning speed was set about 0.03°/sec, and the sample was measured at room temperature, 100° C., 200° C., 300° C., 400° C. and 500° C. (each temperature was maintained for 5 to 10 minutes before the measurement to bring the sample to thermal equilibrium). The change of the pitch of crystal planes can be inferred through the 2θ changes under different temperatures, so as to calculate the linear thermal expansion coefficient of each material.
