To elucidate the electronic state and the conduction mechanism of Nd2NiO4+delta series oxides at high temperatures, the electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, and nonstoichiometric oxygen content of Nd2-xSrxNiO4+delta (x=0, 0.2, 0.4) were measured as a function of the Sr content, temperature, and oxygen partial pressure. The hole mobility is estimated from the electrical conductivity and the hole concentration which is defect chemically determined. The mobility slightly decreases as temperature increases as in metals at high temperatures. The relationships between the Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, and hole concentration can be explained by Mott's equation, which expresses the Seebeck coefficient for metals. Semi-quantitative analyses strongly indicate that the electron or hole is itinerant in Nd2-xSrxNiO4+delta, and the conduction mechanism is metal-like band conduction at high temperatures. Based on the experimental results, schematics for energy level and band structure are proposed. At high temperatures, free holes in the sigma(x2-y2) band composed of d(x2-y2) orbitals contribute to metallic conduction. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Effect of pinholes in electrolyte on re-oxidation tolerance of anode-supported solid oxide fuel cells

Keigo Kumada, Kazuhisa Sato, Tatsuya Kawada, Hirofumi Sumi, Hiroyuki Shimada, Toshiyuki Hashida

Summary: This paper discusses the effects of through-thickness pinholes in an electrolyte on re-oxidation and mechanical damage of anode-supported solid oxide fuel cells. It was found that pinholes can cause oxygen leakage, accelerate oxidation reactions, and ultimately lead to mechanical damage. The correlation between oxygen leakage and mechanical damage highlights the importance of addressing pinhole issues in the electrolyte for the overall performance of solid oxide fuel cells.
