Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of solid oxide fuel cells, and in particular relates to an inter-doped two-phase composite cathode material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are power generation devices that directly convert hydrocarbon fuels into electricity, offering advantages such as high efficiency, low pollution, and fuel flexibility. Traditional SOFCs operate at temperatures exceeding 1000°C, placing stringent demands on electrode materials, cell components, and ancillary equipment. This also increases the construction and operation and maintenance costs of the cells. Therefore, medium- and low-temperature technologies (operating at 800°C and below) have become a major focus of SOFC development.

[0003] In medium and low temperature SOFC, SrCo 0.8 Fe 0.2 O 3-δ (SCF82, among which, δ Oxygen vacancies (OVs) have attracted significant attention. This cathode material, with its excellent catalytic performance and high electrical conductivity, holds great promise as a medium- and low-temperature SOFC cathode material. However, due to the influence of the cobalt crystal field and electron spin state, this cathode material has a large thermal expansion coefficient, making it difficult to sinter with mainstream SOFC electrolytes, resulting in reduced electrochemical performance. Therefore, improving the electrochemical performance of cathode materials has become a pressing technical challenge in this field. Summary of the Invention
