Abstract

Perovskite oxides using solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) anodes should possess high chemical stability, adequate electronic conductivity and excellent catalytic oxidation for fuel gas. In this work, the medium-entropy SrV1/3 Fe1/3 Mo1/3 O3 (SVFMO) with Fe, V and Mo co-existing in the B site of a perovskite structure was fabricated in reducing 5% H2 /Ar mixed gas: (1) SVFMO demonstrates more stable physicochemical properties when using SOFCs anodes in a reducing environment; (2) the co-existence of Fe, V and Mo in SVFMO forms more small-polaron couples, demonstrating greatly enhanced electronic conductivity. With SVFMO in a porous structure (simulating the porous anode layer), its electronic conductivity can also reach 70 S cm−1 when testing at 800 C in an H2 atmosphere; (3) SVFMO with more oxygen vacancies achieves higher catalytic ability for fuel gas, as an SOFCs anode layer demonstrates 720 mW cm−2 at 850 C.
