Ceramic proton conductors have the potential to become important components in future clean and efficient energy technologies. In this manuscript, barium cerium yttrium zirconate (Ba(Zr0.5Ce0.4)(8/9)Y0.2O2.9) and strontium cerium yttrium zirconate (SrZr0.5Ce0.4Y0.1O2.95), proton conducting perovskites were employed as solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) electrolytes for hydrogen production via intermediate temperature steam electrolysis at 550 and 600 degrees C. Cathode-supported button cells examined for a 12 m Ba(Zr0.5Ce0.4)(8/9)Y0.2O2.9 electrolyte, with Ni-SrZr0.5Ce0.4Y0.1O2.95 as the H-2-electrode, and porous Ba0.5La0.5CoO3 as the anode reached current densities of 0.2 and 0.5 A cm(-2) with applied voltage of 1.45 V, at 550 and 600 degrees C, respectively. Moreover, a hydrogen evolution rate of 127 mol cm(-2) per minute was achieved at 0.5 A cm(-2), translating to a current efficiency of 82%. In addition, excellent cell performance was obtained using SrZr0.5Ce0.4Y0.1O2.95 as an electrolyte. Current densities of 0.2 and 0.5 A cm(-2) were obtained at 600 degrees C with applied voltages of 1.28 and 1.63 V, achieving faradaic current efficiencies of 88 and 85%. The NiO-SrZr0.5Ce0.4Y0.1O3-delta composite cathode was more favorable for the densification of the supported Ba(Zr0.5Ce0.4)(8/9)Y0.2O2.9 electrolyte during sintering and could be promising for use as a cathode substrate in proton-conducting SOECs.

Hikaru Takehara, Masaya Nagai, Masaaki Ashida, Yuji Okuyama, Yukimune Kani

Summary: Yttrium-doped barium zirconate, a solid electrolyte with advantageous properties for fuel cells, was characterized using photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation spectra to understand the atomic arrangement near the oxygen vacancy. The study found that the photoluminescence spectra consisted of recombination at the grain boundary region, recombination at a vacancy defect with an unpaired electron, and the transition of the electronic state of the oxygen vacancy. By analyzing the peak position and corresponding excitation spectrum, information on the atomic arrangement adjacent to the oxygen vacancies, which is crucial for designing materials with high protonic conductivity, was obtained.

External Current Dependence of Polarization Resistances for Reversible Solid Oxide and Protonic Ceramic Cells with Current Leakage

Hirofumi Sumi, Hiroyuki Shimada, Konosuke Watanabe, Yuki Yamaguchi, Katsuhiro Nomura, Yasunobu Mizutani, Yuji Okuyama

Summary: This study investigates the effect of polarization resistances on current leakage and the distribution of relaxation times (DRT) analysis of electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) for solid oxide cells (SOCs) with GDC electrolyte and protonic ceramic cells (PCCs) with BZYb electrolyte. The results show that the polarization resistances increase with increasing current density in SOC with GDC electrolyte, but exhibit the opposite tendency in PCC with BZYb electrolyte. This suggests that the effect of current leakage on polarization resistance is related to the conductivity of the electrolyte.

Phonons Damped by Proton Doping in Barium Zirconate

Hikaru Takehara, Masaya Nagai, Masaaki Ashida, Yuji Okuyama, Yukimune Kani

Summary: We demonstrate that protons strongly inhibit certain phonons in hydrated barium zirconate. By conducting terahertz spectroscopy and infrared reflection spectroscopy measurements on anhydrous and hydrous acceptor-doped barium zirconate sintered pellets, we provide evidence for this effect. Last and Slater phonon modes are significantly suppressed with proton doping, while phonons are not damped with trivalent dopants. This phenomenon is attributed to the picosecond motion of protons, such as hydroxyl rotation and attempt motion of proton hopping, coupled with the phonon.
