Oxidation behavior of porous P434L ferritic stainless steel, used for the fabrication of metalsupported solid oxide fuel cells (MS-SOFC), is studied under anodic and cathodic atmospheres. Temperature-and atmosphere-dependence is determined for as-sintered and pre-oxidized stainless steel. Pre-oxidation reduced the long-term oxidation rate. For pre-oxidized samples, the oxidation rate in air exceeds that in humid hydrogen for temperatures above 700°C. The influence of PrOx, LSCF-SDC, and Ni-SDC coatings is also examined. The coatings do not dramatically impact oxide scale growth. Oxidation in C-free and C-containing anodic atmospheres is similar. Addition of CO2, CH4, and CO to humidified hydrogen to simulate ethanol reformate does not significantly impact oxidation behavior. Cr transpiration in humid air is greatly reduced by the PrOx coating, and a PrCrO3 reaction product is observed throughout the porous structure. A dense and protective chromia-based scale forms on steel samples during oxidation in all conditions. A thin silica enriched oxide layer also forms at the metal-scale interface. In general, the oxidation behavior at 700°C is found to be acceptable.
Ru@Pt core-shell nanoparticles are currently being explored as carbon monoxide tolerant anode catalysts for proton ex-change membrane fuel cells. However, little is known about their degradation under fuel cell conditions....
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
