Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of ammonia-hydrogen fuel cells, and particularly relates to a synthesis method of an ammonia-resistant proton conductor material for a direct ammonia fuel cell. BACKGROUND
[0002] Under the background of the transformation of global energy structure to low carbon, hydrogen energy is concerned by the academic and industrial circles due to its advantages such as green and clean, rich resources and the like, and has become an important part of the energy layout of many developed countries. However, the problems such as difficult storage and transportation and poor safety of hydrogen restrict its economic, efficient and large-scale use. In comparison, ammonia, as a mature hydrogen storage carrier energy, also belongs to zero-carbon fuel, and its volumetric energy density is much higher than that of hydrogen, and the storage and transportation cost is lower, and the safety standard and related infrastructure are very perfect, which can inject new impetus for the development of clean energy. Among many ammonia energy conversion and utilization technologies, fuel cells are not limited by the Carnot cycle, and are one of the ideal routes to realize clean and efficient utilization. Among them, the direct ammonia intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cell (400-600℃) based on proton conduction not only has the advantages of compact device structure, high fuel utilization rate, good thermal stability and small thermal integration difficulty, but also can effectively avoid the NOx poisoning caused by ammonia side reactions, and is more suitable for the characteristics and needs of ammonia energy compared with low-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells and high-temperature oxygen ion-conducting solid oxide fuel cells.
[0003] As the cornerstone of realizing efficient proton conduction in direct ammonia intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells, the chemical stability and proton conductivity of proton conductors are crucial. At present, the commonly used proton conductor materials are mainly represented by multi-element BaCexZryYzM1-x-y-zO3-δ (BCZYM-based) ABO3 perovskites composed of Ba, Zr, Ce, Y and other metal elements (M), such as the classic BaCe0.7Zr0.1Y0.1Yb0.1O3-δ, which exhibits excellent proton conductivity and chemical stability characteristics in traditional hydrogen or carbon-hydrogen fuel systems, and also has anti-coking and sulfur-resistant properties, and is expected to become a candidate material for the next generation of high-performance proton conductors. However, in the face of emerging ammonia energy, the existing particle synthesis technologies such as high-temperature solid-phase reaction sintering method, hydrothermal method, sol-gel method and co-precipitation method have insufficient ammonia corrosion resistance of the prepared BCZYM-based proton conductor materials, and the proton conductivity will gradually decrease after long-term exposure to ammonia fuel, which will affect the long-term efficient and stable operation of the direct ammonia fuel cell, and seriously hinder the large-scale commercial application.
