AI Technical Summary
The Ni-based catalyst in traditional tubular solid oxide electrolyzers is prone to agglomeration, oxidation, and carbon deposition, resulting in insufficient battery stability and the need to introduce protective gas to maintain operation, which affects its application efficiency.
A high-efficiency tubular solid oxide electrolytic cell with high syngas yield was prepared by loading CeO2 onto a NiO/YSZ anode using an impregnation method and then performing multiple vacuum drying and calcination processes, thereby improving the ion and electron conduction capabilities of the electrode.
It achieves high syngas yield with low cost and low energy consumption, easy adjustment of battery composition, environmentally friendly preparation process, excellent catalytic activity, significantly improved CO2 and H2O co-electrolysis performance, low polarization impedance, and high syngas production rate and Faraday efficiency.
