Abstract:The electrical behavior of a Ni-YSZ anode of a solid oxid fuel cell (SOFC) cell under H 2 S has been monitored by impedance spectroscopy combined with in situ Raman spectroscopy and post mortem scanning electron microscopy (SEM) at 500°C in open circuit potential (OCP) and at 500 mV polarization. In OCP condition, the electrode impedance spectra evolved slowly corresponding quite well to the evolution of Raman signals' intensities. Meanwhile, at 500 mV polarization, the impedance spectra transformed much faste… Show more
“…When Cu-CeO 2 -YSZ anodes were used in conjunction with H 2 contaminated fuel, He et al [58] demonstrated high sulfur tolerance and found that there was no effect on the anode performance at 800 ℃ under 450 ppm sulfur. It is believed that the adsorption of sulfur compounds at the TPB results in a loss of active sites at the TPB and a change of surface characteristics in the case of nickel anode poisoning [8][9][10][11]43]. A further possibility for sulfide formation is that it will affect ceria's oxide transport mechanism and redox chemistry, changing its MIEC properties and potentially diminishing the effective active zone [61].…”

“…A rapid initial performance loss is followed by either (i) no further loss, (ii) a slow performance loss followed by steady-state behavior, or (iii) a continuous performance loss without stabilization. It is commonly believed that the sulfur adsorbs at the nickel surface sites or the TPB lead to an initial rapid and reversible performance loss [9][10][11][12].…”

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.
