This invention belongs to the field of
solid oxide electrolysis cell technology, and discloses a
cobalt-iron co-doped
cerium-based
cathode material and its preparation and application. Preparation method: 1) A
mixed solution of
cobalt precursor, iron precursor,
cerium precursor, and
gadolinium precursor is prepared using water;
glycine is added as a complexing agent, and the mixture is homogeneous; the mixture is heated to 300-400℃, stirred, and evaporated until a
spontaneous combustion reaction occurs, and the precursor
powder is collected; 2) The precursor
powder is heat-treated in air to obtain the
cobalt-iron co-doped
cerium-based
cathode material. The iron and cobalt co-
doping in this invention produces an interaction: iron facilitates the formation of Ce. surf. 3+ -
Oxygen vacancy defects enhance CO2 adsorption activation, while cobalt lowers the
oxygen ion migration barrier and increases
electronic conductivity, simultaneously improving
surface reaction kinetics and bulk transport properties. The
cathode material of this invention, used in
solid oxide electrolysis cells, exhibits excellent CO2
electrolysis performance and long-term stability, and its preparation process is simple.
