Ppb amount of SO2 in air will react with cathode material of solid oxide fuel cell, inducing decrease of the cell/stack performance as one of the most effective factors.The sulfur poisoning behavior of (La0.6Sr0.4) (Co0.2Fe0.8)O3(LSCF) and A?site deficient (La0.6Sr0.4)0.85(Co0.2Fe0.8)O3(LSCF85) was investigated after exposure to 30 μg/g SO2 at 800 ℃ for 50 h.The products of the reaction were characterized by XRD,SEM and EDX to evaluate the effect of A?site defects on the sulfur poisoning behavior of perovskite ferrite based solid oxide fuel cell cathode materials. It was found that A?site defect in LSCF85 can suppress the chemical reaction between LSCF based cathode and SO2. It was ascribed to the low Sr reaction activity with SO2 caused by the existence of A?site defect.
As the society and economy move forward, energy and environmental problems have attracted extensive attention. Hydrogen energy is considered the ideal clean energy in the 21st century due to its high energy density, pollution?free attribute, abundant reserves, and wide application. As a clean production technology, hydrogen production by water electrolysis has developed vigorously under the goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality. The key challenge lies in the development of high?performance electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) to reduce the overpotential of water splitting. This paper reviewed the current mainstream hydrogen production technologies by water electrolysis in detail and analyzed the characteristics and advantages and disadvantages of each technology. Moreover,it summarized the research progress of HER catalysts and predicted the development directions of the hydrogen production technology by water electrolysis and its electrocatalysts.
The Mn?Zr composite oxides were prepared by co?precipitation,loading with noble metals(Ru,Pd,Pt) on the surfaces by a following impregnation method.The effects of noble metals on catalytic combustion of vinyl chloride (VC) were further investigated.The structure and chemical state,the oxidation?reduction ability and acidity,the distribution of acid over the noble metal loading catalysts were studied.Noble metals exist in the form of oxidation state on catalyst surface to promote the reduction of Mn?Zr composite oxides and improve the redox ability of the catalysts. In addition,noble metals not only increased total acid amount but also changed the distribution of Br?nsted and Lewis acid centers on catalyst surface.Therefore, the noble metal made the completely VC conversion temperature shift to lower temperature.However,the activities of noble metals for catalytic combustion of VC varied with the kind of noble metal.Among them,Ru had the more positively activity enhancement than that of Pd and Pt.The catalytic temperatures were 206 and 243 °C, when the VC conversion over Ru/MZ(Ru/Mn0.7Zr0.3Ox) reached to 50% (t50) and 90% (t90),respectively,which were 69 and 71 °C lower than that using Mn?Zr composite oxide.Meanwhile,the loading of noble metals also changed the composition of chlorinated by?products and reduced their concentration.The total concentration of chlorinated by?products over Ru/MZ catalyst was only 5.7 μL/L with 90% VC conversion rate,which was 70% lower than MZ composite oxide at the same conversion rate.
