摘要

The presented electrolyte material NixSm0.2-xCe0.8O2-δ (Ni-SDC, x = 0-0.1) for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) was synthesized via the sol–gel method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed that the samples crystallized in a cubic fluorite structure after being calcined at 750 °C. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images revealed a dense microstructure following sintering at 1250 °C. Electrochemical tests demonstrated that the conductivity was effectively enhanced by doping with an appropriate amount of Ni, reaching a maximum value of 0.065S/cm at 800 °C when x = 0.05. In summary, nickel doping improved the conductivity of samarium-doped ceria, indicating its promise as an electrolyte material for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs).
