| Research Abstract |
Novel composite electrolytes based on phosphate and oxide matrix were investigated for intermediate fuel cells operative at 200-300°C, and the promotional effect of the hetero-interface between the conductive phase and matrix was examined. Interfacial conductive phase was formed between phosphate and SiO2 treated with phosphoric acid, leading to an increase in the conductivity. CsH5(PO4)2/SiO2 composite membrane employing silica fiber membrane as a matrix with a thickness of 70 and 150 μm was fabricated and applied to an electrolyte for an intermediate-temperature fuel cell, which demonstrated good performance of 105 mW cm-2 at 200°C due to a low area specific resistance of 0.32 Ω cm2, and was stable at 200°C under a constant current load of 100 mA cm-2 for 50 h.
