Problems solved by technology

[0005] Since the Ni-YSZ anode is sintered at high temperature (generally greater than 1350°C) to ensure the compactness of the film, and the high Ni content (about 50wt.%) leads to the particle size of Ni in the anode at the micron level, resulting in In traditional anodes, the interface contact between nickel and electrolyte materials is not good, and the nickel catalyst is easy to sinter and grow during the reduction process, resulting in low anode activity and serious carbon deposition; and during the long-term operation of the battery, the gap between Ni and NiO The cycle transformation between them will lead to a large volume change, which will seriously damage the battery structure and lead to a decrease in battery performance.

Abstract

The invention discloses a graphene-modified nickel-base composite anode material of a solid oxide fuel cell and a preparation method thereof. The modified nickel-base composite anode material is prepared by compounding metal salt, an oxide or hydroxide of metal, YSZ ((Yttria Stabilized Zirconia) and graphene oxide, and then a battery assembly is prepared by compounding the nickel-base composite anode material and an electrolyte material. Through testing the performance of the battery assembly, the performance of the battery assembly is greatly improved in comparison with a battery with an un-modified anode. The graphene oxide is added in a conventional nickel-base anode material for modifying the anode material, the reduced graphene is capable of stopping nickel particles from sintering and growing, and the surface appearance of the material is improved. The graphene-modified nickel-base composite anode material has the characteristics of uniformity in particle distribution, difficulty in sintering, high strength, small volume expansion ratio, stable structure and the like; and the cyclic oxidation-reduction resisting capability of the nickel-base anode material is improved. The application of the anode material has important significance to the promotion of the application of a nickel-base anode solid oxide fuel cell technology.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), in particular to a graphene-modified nickel-based solid oxide fuel cell composite anode material and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] In 2004, Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, physicists at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom, successfully separated graphene from graphite and confirmed that it could exist alone. They jointly won the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics for the groundbreaking experiment of three-dimensional graphene materials. [0003] Graphene is a carbon molecule composed of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal shape and connected to each other, and its structure is very stable. It has high conductivity, high toughness, high strength and super large specific surface area. The thickness of graphene is only 0.335 nanometers, which is not only thin but also very hard; as a single substance, the migration speed of electrons in graphene reaches ...
