Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of solid oxide electrolyzers, and more specifically to a battery cell structure and stack of a hybrid solid oxide electrolyzer stack. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing proportion of renewable energy, the demand for large-scale, long-cycle energy storage technologies has become extremely urgent. Among them, solid oxide electrolyzers have the highest electrolysis efficiency and are the next generation of competitive technologies. The oxygen obtained from electrolysis can be used for oxygen-enriched combustion, and hydrogen can be used as fuel for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. It can also be used as a chemical raw material to produce fuels such as synthetic ammonia, methanol, and methane, which is of great significance to the realization of carbon emission reduction.
[0003] Traditional solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) use either oxygen-ion conductors or proton-conducting electrolytes. Using an oxygen-ion conductor yields pure oxygen, but hydrogen is mixed with water vapor; using a proton conductor yields pure hydrogen, but oxygen is mixed with water vapor. Because the water vapor mixes with one of the electrolysis products (hydrogen or oxygen), the reactant gases must be removed from the stack and condensed after a certain point in the electrolysis process to obtain pure products. This process results in low steam utilization of the stack, impure products, complex system structure, and high manufacturing costs. Summary of the Invention

[0021] On the other hand, this application also provides a hybrid solid oxide electrolytic cell stack, which includes one or more battery cell structures provided in this application. The one or more battery cell structures are stacked sequentially. The water vapor inlet channels of each battery cell structure are sequentially connected to form a water vapor inlet channel. The hydrogen outlet channels of each battery cell structure are sequentially connected to form a hydrogen outlet channel. The oxygen outlet channels of each battery cell structure are sequentially connected to form an oxygen outlet channel.
[0022] Beneficial effects:
[0023] (1) The battery cell structure provided by the present invention uses a proton conductor electrolyte battery and an oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery in a paired and mixed manner. A porous electronic conductor connects the positive electrode side of the proton conductor electrolyte battery and the negative electrode side of the oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery to form a continuous current. By introducing water vapor into the water vapor reaction chamber as the reaction gas and applying a corresponding voltage to the battery cell structure, the proton conductor electrolyte battery and the oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery can react together. Pure hydrogen is produced on the negative electrode side of the proton conductor electrolyte battery, and pure oxygen is produced on the positive electrode side of the oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery. Through the above process, the battery cell structure can obtain the corresponding electrolysis products through the hydrogen flow channel and the oxygen flow channel, respectively. Compared with the electrolysis products mixed with water vapor in the single-type solid oxide electrolyte battery of the prior art, the electrolysis products of this application are pure and do not require condensation separation, saving the equipment cost and energy consumption of subsequent product gas drying and purification, which helps to reduce manufacturing costs and simplify the system.
[0024] (2) The electrolysis reaction products hydrogen and oxygen are not mixed with the reaction gas water vapor, that is, the reaction gas water vapor is not diluted by the product gas, so there is no need to discharge the stack. Theoretically, 100% conversion rate can be achieved for the reaction gas.
[0025] (3) The hybrid solid oxide electrolytic cell stack provided in this application includes several battery cell structures provided in this application stacked sequentially. The water vapor inlet channels are formed by sequentially connecting the water vapor inlet slots of each battery cell structure. In this application, water vapor enters the porous electronic conductor of the water vapor reaction chamber of each battery cell structure through the water vapor inlet channels. The heat from the water vapor is transferred to both the proton conduction battery cell and the oxygen ion conduction battery cell. The water vapor has a short transmission path and low heat loss. Combined with a pressure vessel, pressurizing the reactants is conducive to the forward reaction, that is, it makes the water vapor move in the direction of electrolysis, thereby helping to improve the electrolysis efficiency.
[0026] (4) In this application, because the water vapor reaction chamber contains only water vapor, both the proton conductor electrolyte battery and the oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery of each battery cell structure operate in a mild (non-strong redox) environment. Unlike the prior art, electrolyte materials that are difficult to use in traditional solid oxide electrolyzers and cannot be stable in a strong redox atmosphere, such as GDC, can be selected. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the range of electrolyte materials that can be selected for the battery cell structure of this application is broadened.
[0027] (5) In traditional solid oxide batteries, the electrolyte material is exposed to an oxidizing or reducing atmosphere, which easily leads to electronic conductivity. The presence of electronic conductivity reduces the Faradaic efficiency of traditional solid oxide batteries. In contrast, the proton conductor electrolyte battery and oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery of each cell structure in this application operate in a mild (non-strong redox) environment, shielding the electronic conductivity of oxygen ion conductor GDC in a reducing atmosphere and the positive hole conductivity of proton conductor BZCY in an air atmosphere. Therefore, the electrolyte of this application only has ionic conductivity, which improves the Faradaic efficiency of each cell structure of this application, thereby improving the Faradaic efficiency of the stack.

[0037] The technical solution of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0038] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application provides a battery cell structure for a hybrid solid oxide electrolytic cell stack. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the battery cell structure 000 includes a hydrogen flow channel 100, an oxygen flow channel 200, and a water vapor reaction chamber 300. One side of the water vapor reaction chamber 300 is separated from the hydrogen flow channel 100 by a proton conductor electrolyte battery 400. The other side of the water vapor reaction chamber 300 is separated from the oxygen flow channel 200 by an oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery 500. The water vapor reaction chamber 300 is filled with a porous electronic conductor 600, which connects the positive electrode side 410 of the proton conductor electrolyte battery 400 to the negative electrode side 510 of the oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery 500. The proton conductor electrolyte battery 400 is used to convert the water vapor in the water vapor reaction chamber 300 and generate hydrogen in the hydrogen flow channel 100. The oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery 500 is used to convert the water vapor in the water vapor reaction chamber 300 and generate oxygen in the oxygen flow channel 200.
[0039] The battery cell structure 000 provided by this invention uses a proton conductor electrolyte battery 400 and an oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery 500 in a paired and mixed manner. A porous electronic conductor 600 connects the positive electrode side of the proton conductor electrolyte battery and the negative electrode side of the oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery to form a continuous current. By introducing water vapor into the water vapor reaction chamber 300 as a reaction gas and applying a corresponding voltage to the battery cell structure 000, the proton conductor electrolyte battery 400 and the oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery 500 can react together, producing pure hydrogen on the negative electrode side of the proton conductor electrolyte battery 400 and pure oxygen on the positive electrode side of the oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery 500. The voltage applied to the battery cell structure is the sum of the voltages of the proton conductor electrolyte battery 400 and the oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery 500 within the battery cell structure.
[0040] Through the above process, the battery cell structure 000 can obtain corresponding electrolysis products through the hydrogen flow channel 100 and the oxygen flow channel 200 respectively. Compared with the electrolysis products mixed with water vapor in the single type of solid oxide electrolyte battery in the prior art, the electrolysis products of this application are pure and do not require condensation separation, which saves the equipment cost and energy consumption for subsequent product gas drying and purification, and helps to reduce manufacturing costs and simplify the system.
[0041] Specifically, the process by which the proton conductor electrolyte battery 400 and the oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery 500 can react together includes two modes: the first reaction mode and the second reaction mode.
[0042] In the first reaction mode, the reactions at each electrode are as follows:
[0043] The negative electrode side of the proton conductor electrolyte battery 400 is 420:2H + +2e - =H2;
[0044] The positive electrode side of the proton conductor electrolyte battery 400 is 410: H2O = 2H + +2e - +0.5O2;
[0045] The negative electrode side of the oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery 500 is 510: H2O + 2e - =O 2- +H2;
[0046] The positive electrode side of the oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery 500 is 520: O 2- =2e - +0.5O2;
[0047] Simultaneously, the porous electronic conductor 600 filling the water vapor reaction chamber 300 catalytically combusts the oxygen generated on the positive electrode side 410 of the proton conductor electrolyte battery 400 and the hydrogen generated on the negative electrode side 510 of the oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery 500, recombining them into water vapor. The heat released by the aforementioned catalytic combustion reaction is utilized as part of the thermal energy required for the electrode reaction of the battery cell structure 000, thereby achieving energy loss reduction.
[0048] Because hydrogen diffuses faster than oxygen, or because oxygen production within the water vapor reaction chamber 300 is suppressed, hydrogen becomes the mass transfer species within the water vapor reaction chamber 300. At this time, a second reaction mode occurs within the battery cell structure, and the reactions at each electrode are as follows:
[0049] The negative electrode side of the proton conductor electrolyte battery 400 is 420:2H + +2e - =H2;
[0050] The positive electrode side of the proton conductor electrolyte battery 400 has the following composition: H2 = 2H2O + +2e - ;
[0051] The negative electrode side of the oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery 500 is 510: H2O + 2e - =O 2- +H2;
[0052] The positive electrode side of the oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery 500 is 520: O 2- =2e - +0.5O2;
[0053] In the second reaction mode, the oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery 500 performs normal electrolysis, while the proton conductor electrolyte battery 400 acts as an electrochemical hydrogen pump to aid in hydrogen purification. Since no oxygen is generated in the water vapor reaction chamber 300, there is no need for hydrogen and oxygen to recombine.
[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water vapor reaction chamber 300 includes an insulating support frame 700, a positive electrode side 410 of a proton conductor electrolyte battery 400, and a negative electrode side 510 of an oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery 500.
[0055] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the top end face of the insulating support frame 700 is provided with a first mounting step 730 that is recessed inward and adapted to the proton conductor electrolyte battery 400. The proton conductor electrolyte battery 400 is mounted in the first mounting step 730. The bottom end face of the insulating support frame 700 is provided with a second mounting step 740 that is recessed inward and adapted to the oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery 500. The oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery 500 is mounted in the second mounting step 740. The positive electrode side 410 of the proton conductor electrolyte battery 400, the negative electrode side 510 of the oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery 500, and the inner wall of the insulating support frame 700 enclose a relatively sealed water vapor reaction chamber 300.
[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the battery cell structure 000 also includes a conductive connecting plate 800, which includes a first conductive connecting surface 810 and a second conductive connecting surface 820. The first conductive connecting surface 810 is connected to the negative electrode side 420 of the proton conductor electrolyte battery 400 to form a hydrogen flow channel 100. The second conductive connecting surface 820 is connected to the positive electrode side 520 of the oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery 500 to form an oxygen flow channel 200.
[0057] The conductive connection plate 800 can be a fully connected plate or a half-connected plate, depending on the position of the battery cell structure 000 in the stack. In a stacked electrolytic cell stack, the conductive connection surface 800 between a proton conductor electrolyte battery 400 connected in series with an oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery 500 of an adjacent battery cell structure 000 can be a fully connected plate; the conductive connection surface 800 between a short plate connected in series with an adjacent battery cell structure 000 can be a half-connected plate. The conductive connection plate 800 must be sufficiently dense to isolate oxygen and hydrogen, and also needs to have a corresponding flow channel structure and resistance to oxidation and hydrogen corrosion. The connection plate structure and coating used in conventional SOEC can be referenced in the conductive connection plate 800 of this application.
[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the first conductive connection surface 810 faces the negative electrode side 420 of the proton conductor electrolyte battery 400, and the second conductive connection surface 820 faces the positive electrode side 520 of the oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery 500. Both the first and second conductive connection surfaces 810 and 820 have inwardly recessed flow channels formed therein. These flow channels are arranged parallel to each other, and adjacent flow channels are separated by raised ribs. The raised ribs on the first conductive connection surface 810 are used to connect to the negative electrode side 420 of the proton conductor electrolyte battery 400, and the raised ribs on the second conductive connection surface 820 are used to conform to the positive electrode side 520 of the oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery 500, in order to achieve current collection.
[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first conductive connection surface 810 is sealed to the end face 710 of the insulating support frame 700 near the proton conductor electrolyte battery 400, and the second conductive connection surface 820 is sealed to the end face 720 of the insulating support frame 700 near the oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery 500, so as to form a relatively sealed hydrogen flow channel 100 and oxygen flow channel 200, while making the hydrogen flow channel 100 of each battery cell structure 000 independent from the oxygen flow channel 200 of the adjacent cell.
[0060] The battery cell structure 000 also includes a water vapor inlet channel 910, a hydrogen outlet channel 920, and an oxygen outlet channel 930, each penetrating through the first conductive connection surface 810, the insulating support frame 700, and the second conductive connection surface 820. The water vapor inlet channel 910 is connected to the water vapor reaction chamber 300. The hydrogen outlet channel 920 is connected to the hydrogen flow channel 100. The oxygen outlet channel 930 is connected to the oxygen flow channel 200.
[0061] Water vapor, acting as the reactant gas, flows into the water vapor reaction chamber 300 from the water vapor inlet channel 910. The proton conductor electrolyte battery 400 converts the water vapor in the water vapor reaction chamber 300 and generates hydrogen gas in the hydrogen flow channel 100. The generated hydrogen gas flows out from the hydrogen gas outlet channel 920. The oxygen ion conductor electrolyte battery 500 converts the water vapor in the water vapor reaction chamber 300 and generates oxygen gas in the oxygen flow channel 200. The generated oxygen gas flows out from the oxygen outlet channel 930.
[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the insulating support frame 700 is rectangular, and the water vapor inlet channel 910, hydrogen outlet channel 920, and oxygen outlet channel 930 are elongated. The hydrogen outlet channel 920 and the oxygen outlet channel 930 are adjacent to the opposite narrow sides of the insulating support frame 700 and extend along the direction of the narrow sides of the insulating support frame 700. The water vapor inlet channel 910 is adjacent to one long side of the insulating support frame 700 and extends along the direction of the long side of the insulating support frame 700.
[0063] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the oxygen outlet channel 930 and the water vapor reaction chamber 300 are connected by several gas guiding channels 750. Figure 2 As shown, the gas guide channel 750 is opened on the inner wall of the oxygen outlet channel 930 near the water vapor reaction chamber 300 and extends to the inner wall of the water vapor reaction chamber 300.
[0064] In some embodiments, the proton conductor electrolyte of the proton conductor electrolyte battery 400 is selected from BaZr. 1−x1−y1−z1 Ce x M1 y1 M2 z1 O 3−δ1 M1 and M2 respectively include those selected from Y 3+ Yb 3+ and Sc 3+ One of them, where the range of x1 is 0 < x1 < 1, the range of y1 is 0 ≤ y1 < 1, the range of z1 is 0 ≤ z1 < 1, and x1 + y1 + z1 < 1, and the range of δ1 is 0 < δ1 < 0.5.
[0065] The negative electrode of the proton conductor electrolyte battery 400 is a metal-ceramic composed of the proton conductor electrolyte and Ni. The positive electrode of the proton conductor electrolyte battery 400 is selected from PrBa, a perovskite-structured oxygen ion-proton-electron ternary hybrid conductor. 0.5 Sr 0.5 Co2O5–BaZr 0.1 Ce 0.7 Y 0.2 O 3−δ9 The value of δ9 is in the range of 0 < δ9 < 0.5.
[0066] The oxygen ion conductor electrolyte of the oxygen ion conductor battery 500 includes an oxygen ion conductor electrolyte selected from Y-stabilized zirconium oxide, Sc-stabilized zirconium oxide, Gd-doped cerium oxide, Sm-doped cerium oxide, and La. 1−x2 Sr x2 Ga 1−y2 Mg y2 O 3−δ2One of them is that the range of x2 is 0 < x2 < 1, the range of y2 is 0 < y2 < 1, and x2 + y2 < 1, and the range of δ2 is 0 < δ2 < 0.5.
