Abstract
- LaNi 0.5 Fe 0.5 O 3-δ (LNF) is a viable option for the cathode of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), however, its performance in proton-conducting SOFCs (H–SOFCs) is not sufficient. In this work, an Sc-doped method to increase the cathode performance of conventional LNF for H–SOFCs is proposed. Although the Sc cation can be doped at the Ni site or the Fe site in LNF, which led to the formation of pure phase materials, first-principles calculations indicate that the formation of the LaNi 0.4 Sc 0.1 Fe 0.5 O 3-δ (LNSF) material has more advantages than the formation of the LaNi 0.5 Fe 0.4 Sc 0.1 O 3-δ (LNFS) material, even though the same Sc-doping level is employed. Compared to Sc-free LNF, LNSF provides superior fuel cell performance. At 700 °C, the LNSF cell generates a peak power density of 1534 mW cm−2, double that of the LNF cell. In addition, employing the LNSF cathode reduces the cell's polarization resistance, indicating that the Sc-doping strategy paired with selecting the doping site is an effective method for reusing LNF in high-performance H–SOFCs. • Sc cations can be doped at the Fe or Ni sites in LaNi 0.5 Fe 0.5 O 3-δ (LNF). • The site occupation at the Ni site shows advantages compared with that at the Fe site. • Sc-doped LNF shows better performance than the Sc-free one. • The performance of the cell using LaNi 0.4 Sc 0.1 Fe 0.5 O 3-δ is better.
