Abstract

(La0.6Sr0.4)0.95FeO3-δ/ Sm0.2Ce0.8O2 (70:30 w/w) and (La0.6Sr0.4)0.995Co0.2Fe 0.8O3-δ/Gd0.1Ce0.9O 2 (50:50 w/w) cathodes screen printed on anode-supported cells were tested for 500 h under different conditions by using a Taguchi matrix that combined cathode processing parameters (cathode material, thickness, sintering temperature) and operation conditions (temperature, current density, air flux, air humidification and chromium presence). Individual effect of each control factor on cell performance degradation was evaluated: chromium poisoning, air humidity and temperature were classified, in such order, as the most influencing parameters for cathode and cell degradation. Unexpected high degradation rates were estimated at 750°C. Limited influence of the type of cathode on long-term behavior of cells was found; LSF/SDC cathodes exhibited, however, higher long-term stability.

Cathode-ray tube

A cathode-ray tube (CRT) is a vacuum tube containing one or more electron guns, which emit electron beams that are manipulated to display images on a phosphorescent screen. The images may represent electrical waveforms (oscilloscope), pictures (television set, computer monitor), radar targets, or other phenomena. A CRT on a television set is commonly called a picture tube. CRTs have also been used as memory devices, in which case the screen is not intended to be visible to an observer.

Alkaline fuel cell

The alkaline fuel cell (AFC), also known as the Bacon fuel cell after its British inventor, Francis Thomas Bacon, is one of the most developed fuel cell technologies. Alkaline fuel cells consume hydrogen and pure oxygen, to produce potable water, heat, and electricity. They are among the most efficient fuel cells, having the potential to reach 70%. NASA has used alkaline fuel cells since the mid-1960s, in the Apollo-series missions and on the Space Shuttle. The fuel cell produces power through a redox reaction between hydrogen and oxygen.

Solid oxide fuel cell

A solid oxide fuel cell (or SOFC) is an electrochemical conversion device that produces electricity directly from oxidizing a fuel. Fuel cells are characterized by their electrolyte material; the SOFC has a solid oxide or ceramic electrolyte. Advantages of this class of fuel cells include high combined heat and power efficiency, long-term stability, fuel flexibility, low emissions, and relatively low cost. The largest disadvantage is the high operating temperature which results in longer start-up times and mechanical and chemical compatibility issues.
