NiMo-ceria-zirconia-based anode for solid oxide fuel cells operating on gasoline surrogate

Recent advances in carbon-resistant anodes for solid oxide fuel cells

“…Also, the SOFC with the Ni–5Mo–CZ anode could run steadily for 30 h in an isooctane/air mixture, which has great potential in SOFCs by using complex liquid isooctane fuels. 114…”

“…Also, the SOFC with the Ni-5Mo-CZ anode could run steadily for 30 h in an isooctane/air mixture, which has great potential in SOFCs by using complex liquid isooctane fuels. 114 Majewski et al investigated the carbon tolerance of Ni-Mo alloys in steam reforming and dry reforming of methane combining five different ceramic materials, which were YSZ, GDC, CSZ, Al 2 O 3 and TiO 2 . The choice of ceramic materials significantly affected the reaction kinetics of the Ni-Mo catalysts and the yield of ideal products for H 2 and CO during CH 4 reforming.…”

Design of materials for solid oxide fuel cells, permselective membranes, and catalysts for biofuel transformation into syngas and hydrogen based on fundamental studies of their real structure, transport properties, and surface reactivity

“…The Ni(11 wt.%)-Mo(3 wt.%)-YSZ reforming layer at the Ni-YSZ anode ensured a stable performance of the isooctane-fueled cell, whereas a similar cell without a reforming layer failed after 12 h [61]. The addition of molybdenum to the NieCe 0.5 Zr 0.5 O 2 anode improved the electrical conductivity, nearly doubled power density, and ensured a stable operation [62]. The long-term (1737 h) stable performance of a cell with the NieMoe CeO 2 anode fueled by H 2 S and siloxane-contaminated biogas was demonstrated [63].…”

Analysis of defect mechanisms in nonstoichiometric ceria–zirconia by the microwave cavity perturbation method

“…CZO is also interesting as a component of electrodes for SOFC. In this context, composite anodes with a CZO layer exhibit high electrochemical activity and good reforming properties at the same time 28 . In addition, ceria‐based solid electrolytes are subject of current research as they can be operated at significantly lower temperatures (500–800°C) compared to the commonly used yttria‐stabilized zirconia 14,29–32 .…”
