摘要

Layered perovskite oxides (A2BO4) are ideal for SOFC electrodes. This study explores B-site doping in La0.6Sr1.4Mn1−xBxO4 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3; B = Ni, Fe) as a potential SOFC anode. X-ray diffraction analysis confirms the formation of a stable, impurity-free tetragonal phase. Electrochemical performance was tested in 4% H2/N2. (La0.6Sr1.4) Mn0.9Fe0.1O4 shows the highest conductivity of 6.60 × 10−2 S cm−1 and the lowest ASR of 2.46 Ω cm2 at 800 °C under reducing conditions. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicates that Fe substitution enhances binding-energy shifts and mixed-valent cations, thereby improving B-site substitution and the electronic structure. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy reveals increased grain growth and electrocatalytic activity, driven by improved oxygen transport and reaction kinetics. Temperature-programmed reduction analysis indicates that Fe/Ni doping improves lattice oxygen reducibility and hydrogen oxidation kinetics. La0.6Sr1.4Mn0.9Fe0.1O4 excels as an SOFC anode material due to balanced lattice expansion, mixed Mn3+/Mn4+ and Fe3+/Fe4+ redox pairs enhancing electronic and ionic transport, and a porous microstructure providing active sites for electrochemical reactions.
