Definitions
- the present invention is generally directed to fuel cell components, and to solid oxide fuel cell electrolyte materials in particular.
- Fuel cells are electrochemical devices which can convert energy stored in fuels to electrical energy with high efficiencies.
- Electrolyzer cells are electrochemical devices which can use electrical energy to reduce a given material, such as water, to generate a fuel, such as hydrogen.
- the fuel and electrolyzer cells may comprise reversible cells which operate in both fuel cell and electrolysis mode.
- a high temperature fuel cell system such as a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system
- SOFC solid oxide fuel cell
- the oxidizing flow is typically air
- the fuel flow can be a hydrocarbon fuel, such as methane, natural gas, pentane, ethanol, or methanol.
- the fuel cell operating at a typical temperature between 650°C and 950°C, enables the transport of negatively charged oxygen ions from the cathode flow stream to the anode flow stream, where the ion combines with either free hydrogen or hydrogen in a hydrocarbon molecule to form water vapor and/or with carbon monoxide to form carbon dioxide.
- a solid oxide reversible fuel cell (SORFC) system generates electrical energy and reactant product (i.e., oxidized fuel) from fuel and oxidizer in a fuel cell or discharge mode and generates the fuel and oxidant using electrical energy in an electrolysis or charge mode.
- SORFC solid oxide reversible fuel cell
- SSZ Scandia stabilized zirconia
- SOFC electrolyte material exhibits a high oxygen ion conductivity.
- zirconia is doped with between 8 and 11 mol scandia (SC2O3) in order to stabilize the cubic phase zirconia at high SOFC operating temperature of 650-850 °C.
- lOSclCe zirconia (10 mol% Sc 2 0 3 - 1 mol% Ce0 2 - zirconia) and lOSclY (1 mo ⁇ % Sc 2 0 3 - 1 mol% Y 2 0 3 - zirconia) are examples of co-doped zirconia compositions that do not exhibit the cubic to rhombohedral phase transformation.
- both of these zirconia compositions still experience ageing (i.e., the a slow decrease in ionic conductivity with time at the SOFC operating temperatures of 800-850C).
- ageing i.e., the a slow decrease in ionic conductivity with time at the SOFC operating temperatures of 800-850C.
- the resulting material consists of a two-phase mixture primarily of cubic phase with small domains (e.g., 2-5 nm) of tetragonal phase.
- the lOSclCe zirconia may exhibit a faint superlattice of tetragonal phase as well as the cubic fluorite structure of zirconia.
- One embodiment of the invention provides an electrolyte and/or electrode composition for a solid oxide fuel cell which includes zirconia stabilized with (i) scandia, (ii) ceria, and (iii) at least one of yttria and ytterbia.
- the at least one of yttria and ytterbia is present in an amount greater than 0 and equal to or less than 2.5 mol .
- Another embodiment of the invention provides a method of operating a solid oxide fuel cell comprising a zirconia electrolyte stabilized with scandia and ceria.
- the method comprises operating the solid oxide fuel cell for at least 4000 hrs such that an electrolyte of the fuel cell does not experience a degradation of ionic conductivity of greater than 15%.

- Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of a solid oxide fuel cell according to an
- Figure 5 is a side cross sectional view of a SOFC stack according to an embodiment of the invention.
- the present inventors believe that the lOSclCe composition is slightly under-doped and is not fully stable (i.e., not sufficiently stabilized), and thus is prone to ageing due to the slow cubic to tetragonal phase decomposition or transformation at high temperature.
- the SSZ composition contains at least 2 molar percent of the additional stabilizing oxide (such as ceria, yttria and/or ytterbia) to provide sufficient stabilization to the SSZ composition to reduce or prevent the ageing decomposition.
- the stabilizing oxide provides the stabilization of the cubic phase of SSZ and thus the suppression of the cubic to tetragonal phase transformation.
- both ceria and at least one of yttria and ytterbia are added to the SSZ composition to reduce or prevent the ageing decomposition.
- SSZ cubic phase of SSZ

- the yttria is replaced with ytterbia. It is believed that replacing yttria with ytterbia should increase the CTE and ion conductivity of the electrolyte material.
- the electrolyte compositions of the third embodiment are believed to exhibit improved beginning of life ionic conductivity, low degradation and higher CTE that is the same as or slightly different from a CTE of a Cr alloy interconnect.
- a decrease in difference in CTE between SOFC electrolytes and interconnects in a SOFC stack should result in decreased thermally induced stress and damage to the stack components.
- the electrolyte composition of all three embodiments is homogeneous throughout its height, width and thickness rather than being a heterogeneous composite of yttria and scandia stabilized zirconias made by mixing of yttria and scandia stabilized zirconia powders.
- the first embodiment of the invention provides a SOFC electrolyte composition which comprises zirconia stabilized with (i) scandia, (ii) ceria, and (iii) at least one of yttria and ytterbia.

- the amount of scandia is greater than the amount of ceria and the amount of the at least one of yttria and ytterbia.
- the amount of ceria may be equal to, less than or greater than the amount of the at least one of yttria and ytterbia.
- the amount of stabilizing oxide, such as ceria is at least 2 mol to provide sufficient stabilization to the SSZ composition to reduce or avoid ageing.
- the yttria and/or ytterbia is optionally added to the composition and may be omitted.
- the SSZ electrolyte composition of both the first and the second embodiment may have the formula (1):
- w is from about 0.09 to 0.11

- the yttria is replaced with ytterbia such that the composition contains substantially no yttria (e.g., an unavoidable trace amount of yttria or less than 0.1 mol yttria). It is believed that replacing yttria with ytterbia should increase the CTE and ion conductivity of the electrolyte material.
