Abstract:
The feasibility of several perovskite-type oxide materials used as the cathode for Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells (MCFC) was discussed by studying the stability of the materials in MCFC molten carbonate. Experimental results showed that SrFe
0.5Co
0.5O
3 has conspicuous mixed electric characteristic but the major limit is dissolution in the electrolyte of molten carbonate. La
0.8Sr
0.2MnO
3, La
0.8Sr
0.2Ce
0.1Mn
0.9O
3 and La
0.8Sr
0.2Ni
0.1 Mn
0.9O
3 were filtered by a lot of Li
+ and dissolved a large amount of Sr
2+ in molten carbonate, and thus these several materials could not be used as the cathode for MCFC. It was proved by experiment that the stability behavior of LaMnO
3 which had been lithium-loaded beforehand was outstanding in MCFC molten carbonate.
