Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Reaction mechanism of solid oxide fuel cells is investigated by in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy. La1-xSrxCoO3-d (LSC) is considered a potential anode material since it confers the virtue of mixed ionic and electronic conductivity. Oxygen chemical potential can be evaluated by Co K-edge XAS measurement. We have developed in-situ depth resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy (DR-XAS) as a novel technique to better clarify the surface reaction mechanism. The chemical shift measured under various polarizations is equal to that under equivalent oxygen partial pressures. The result suggests that the rate determining step of the electrode reaction on LSC electrode is the surface reaction.
