Takayuki Abe, Yoshio Matsuzaki, Yoshitsugu Sone, Exergy valorization of a water electrolyzer and CO2 hydrogenation tandem system for hydrogen and methane production, Scientific Reports, 2019.04, [URL], In this work, we introduce a water electrolysis and CO2 hydrogenation tandem system which focuses on methane generation. The concept consists of a water electrolyzer thermally coupled to a CO2 hydrogenation reactor, where the power required to generate hydrogen comes from renewable energy. A thermodynamic analysis of the tandem system was carried out. Our analysis exposes that it is possible to increase the exergy efficiency of the water electrolyzer and CO2 hydrogenation system by thermal coupling, where the thermal energy required to split water into H2 and O2 during the electrolysis process is compensated by the heat generated during the CO2 hydrogenation reaction. Here, the conditions at which high exergy efficiency can be achieved were identified.. |

The optimal annealing temperature was found to be around 1050 °C that exhibits the lowest resistivity. A typical rectifying property of diode with small photovoltaic was observed for the device fabricated. It is anticipated that Si pastes could have potential for low cost device fabrication such as solar cells. All Cz Si ingot growth procedures could be skipped, consequently it is expected that the manufacturing cost for solar cell can be greatly reduced. © 2019, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.. |

The chemical expansion may lead to failure in electrochemical devices, and thus it is necessary to understand the causes of this process at the atomic scale. In this study, the chemical expansion behaviors of Y-doped strontium cerate and zirconate were comparatively investigated. High-temperature X-ray diffraction (HT-XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed that the cerate exhibits larger chemical expansion. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations revealed that this tendency can be accounted for by the different atomic distribution of the Y dopant between the cerate and zirconate, which results in differences in the size of the oxide ion vacancies to be hydrated as well as different elastic character. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.. |

This study explores the nanoionic characteristics exhibited by the proton-conducting oxides SrZr 0.9 Y 0.1 O 3-δ and SrCe 0.95 Yb 0.05 O 3-δ including finely dispersed precipitated platinum nanoparticles. The electrical conductivity of both the platinum-doped oxides revealed reversible nanoionic phenomena caused by the exsolution of the platinum in the form of platinum nanoparticles, at 0.5 vol% relative to the metal oxides, and dissolution in response to a change in gas atmosphere. In comparison with the original conductivity of SrZr 0.9 Y 0.1 O 3-δ and SrCe 0.95 Yb 0.05 O 3-δ , the conductivity of platinum-doped SrZr 0.9 Y 0.1 O 3-δ decreased significantly in a wet hydrogen atmosphere, whereas platinum-doped SrCe 0.95 Yb 0.05 O 3-δ showed almost no decrease in conductivity in the same atmosphere. The different responses of the two materials to the change in gas atmosphere are discussed in relation to the precipitation of platinum nanoparticles. © 2019, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.. |

In this manuscript, barium cerium yttrium zirconate (Ba(Zr0.5Ce0.4)8/9Y0.2O2.9) and strontium cerium yttrium zirconate (SrZr0.5Ce0.4Y0.1O2.95), proton conducting perovskites were employed as solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) electrolytes for hydrogen production via intermediate temperature steam electrolysis at 550 and 600 °C. Cathode-supported button cells examined for a 12 μm Ba(Zr0.5Ce0.4)8/9Y0.2O2.9 electrolyte, with Ni–SrZr0.5Ce0.4Y0.1O2.95 as the H2-electrode, and porous Ba0.5La0.5CoO3 as the anode reached current densities of 0.2 and 0.5 A cm−2 with applied voltage of 1.45 V, at 550 and 600 °C, respectively. Moreover, a hydrogen evolution rate of 127 μmol cm−2 per minute was achieved at 0.5 A cm−2, translating to a current efficiency of 82%. In addition, excellent cell performance was obtained using SrZr0.5Ce0.4Y0.1O2.95 as an electrolyte. Current densities of 0.2 and 0.5 A cm−2 were obtained at 600 °C with applied voltages of 1.28 and 1.63 V, achieving faradaic current efficiencies of 88 and 85%. The NiO–SrZr0.5Ce0.4Y0.1O3−δ composite cathode was more favorable for the densification of the supported Ba(Zr0.5Ce0.4)8/9Y0.2O2.9 electrolyte during sintering and could be promising for use as a cathode substrate in proton-conducting SOECs.. |

The specific character of this cell is that high-pressure water is injected directly into the porous electrolyte layer and is resisted by the electrocatalyst layer and GDL, which have strong water support force. In this study, the preparation method of the electrocatalyst layer and the porous inorganic electrolyte layer, and the evaluation of water electrolysis using the prepared layers were investigated. The optimized conditions and preparation methods of each layer of the MEA (i.e. the GDL, electrocatalyst layer, electrolyte layer) were determined. The assembly method and conditions of these three layers were also determined for fabricating MEAs for water electrolysis. The evaluation of water electrolysis tests using this MEA showed that the hydrogen evolution rate obeyed Faraday's Law in the low current density region ( |

The kinetics of protons through the bulk and across the gas electrolyte interfaces of both anode materials were also studied by direct measurement of their tracer diffusions using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry depth profiling (TOF-SIMS). Cell terminal voltages of 1.74 and 1.93 V, were observed at a current density of 0.5 A cm−2 for both BLC and BGLC whereas a hydrogen evolution rate of 121.85 and 111.15 μmol cm−2 every minute was also obtained at the same current density, translating to a current efficiency of 78 and 72% respectively. Hydrogen tracer diffusion studies confirm BGLC can incorporate protons into the bulk relative to BLC even though the present steam electrolysis results show a better performance for BLC at 600 °C. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.. |

As the materials of the composite electrolyte membrane, 80 wt% of a proton-con-ducting nano zeolite (H-MFI) as an electrolyte and 20 wt% of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as a cross-linkable matrix are used. The nano zeolite is prepared by a milling process. The nano zeolite-PVA composite membrane precursors are prepared by spraying onto a substrate, followed by cross-linking. The resulting nano zeolite-cross-linked PVA composite films are then evaluated for their properties such as proton conductivity as electrolyte membranes for the water-absorbing porous electrolyte water electrolysis cell.

High water support force is required for the gas diffusion layer (GDL) in this novel cell design, and therefore here we report a new type of hydrophobic GDL comprising an acetylene black (AB) and poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) composite film. The method of preparation of the AB/PTFE slurry, film formation methods, and the AB/PTFE weight ratio were investigated and optimized. The ball-milling and transfer method were suitable for preparing uniform AB/PTFE slurry and successfully covering AB/PTFE film without any cracks on micro-porous layer coated carbon paper, respectively. An investigation about different PTFE weight ratios against AB from 0.1 to 6 showed a serious trade-off character between electrical resistance R, gas permeability V′, and water support force Plim. The 1/2.5 of AB/PTFE weight ratio was most optimal, which showed to have most equivalent R (2.5 Ω cm−2), V′(136 mL atm−1 cm−2 min−1), and Plim (0.25 MPa). We also confirmed that fabricated GDL with optimal condition was worked as the blocking layer against water injected through electrolyte layer and pressurized by nitrogen gas, and as gas-permeation layer for generated hydrogen gas in water electrolysis test.. |

However, the mechanisms by which solid oxide materials get hydrated is not clear. By performing detailed density functional theory calculations, we investigate hydration of two typical solid oxides with a single-crystal structure - a proton-conducting yttrium-doped strontium zirconate (SZY) and an oxide ion-conducting yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ). We suggest a four-step process to understand the hydration of solid oxides - water adsorption on the surface, proton migration from the surface to bulk, proton migration in the bulk, and oxide ion vacancy migration in the bulk. The hydroxide ion migration with a lower energy barrier, compared to the proton hopping mechanism, is proposed for the conduction of proton between the surface and subsurface of the perovskite oxide. Our analysis provides mechanistic insights into the hydration of single-crystal SZY and nonhydration of single-crystal YSZ. The study presented here not only explains the hydration of materials but also provides the importance of structural rearrangement when a proton is incorporated into the bulk of the solid oxide material. © 2017 American Chemical Society.. |

The electrical conductivity measured on of BaZr1−x−yInxYyO3−δ (x= 0, 0.1, 0.2 and y= 0, 0.1, 0.2) could be understood that yttrium doping causes high bulk conductivity and indium doping leads to lowering activation energy of the grain boundary. Co-doping of yttrium and indium promotes the enhancement effect of improving the bulk conductivity and lowering of activation energy, and it is thus expected that the co-doping with yttrium and indium can work for controlling the bulk and grain boundary conduction specically in the materials.. |

Regarding chemical stability, the weight changes of each material were measured under a CO2 atmosphere in a temperature range of 1200 °C-600 °C.Higher chemical stability was observed for dopant ions with smaller radii. Regarding conductivity, the dependences of the total conductivities on the oxygen partial pressure and temperature were measured in the temperature range of 600 °C-900 °C. In each material, the total conductivity was proportional to the oxygen partial pressure to the 1/4 power at high oxygen partial pressures, as previously observed for accepter-doped proton-conducting perovskite-type oxides. The derived conductivities for each type of charge carrier showed that the hole conductivity increased with the ionic conductivity. Based on the measured data, the leakage current densities were calculated for SOFCs with each of the investigated electrolyte materials and an area-specific resistance of 0.383 Ωcm2. BZCYSc showed the minimum leakage current density, with a value of 3.7% of the external current density at 600 °C. Therefore, this study indicates that BZCYSc is the most desirable among the materials investigated for use as SOFCs electrolyte. However, for BZCYSc to be used as SOFCs electrolyte material, a protective layer is needed to ensure its chemical stability. © 2017 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC.. |

BZCYX materials were found to have various partial conductivities of charge-carriers such as ion, hole, and electron. The electrochemical properties exhibited strong dependences on operation conditions. When ASR and external current density were fixed at 0.4 Ω cm2 and 0.25 A cm-2, respectively, the electrical efficiency, η(X), was found to have the following sequential order: η(Sc) > η(In) > η(Ga) > η(Yb) > η(Gd). On the other hand, when ASR was not fixed but the thickness of the electrolyte was fixed at 25 μm, large variations appeared in the leakage current of the cells with the BZCYX electrolytes. The sequential order of the electrical efficiency with the fixed thickness was different from that with the fixed ASR as described in the above inequality expression, and depends on the operating temperature. The ratios of the leakage current with X = Yb or Gd were higher than those with X = Ga, Sc, or In. These high ratios were found to cause the serious drop in the electrical efficiency at an external current density of 0.25 A cm-2. We have successfully found out the candidates for the X element in BZCYX, by which high-efficient power generation would be expected. © The Electrochemical Society.. |

The search for catalytic and selective membranes for the efficient conversion of natural gas with carbon higher than methane is very attractive and remains challenging. Since Pr2Ni0.75Cu0.25Ga0.05O4 possesses high mixed conductivity and oxygen permeation properties, it is extensively investigated for potential application for oxygen membrane reforming of propane in this study. The membrane is coated with La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 and Ni catalysts to achieve surface activity for oxygen dissociation and propane oxidation, respectively. The propane reforming efficiency of the membrane specimens with a 0.3 mm thickness are studied as a function of temperature (800–1000 °C), using N2:C3H8:O2 reactant gases with three mixing ratios of 90:7:3, 80:14:6 and 70:20:9 at flow rate of 50–375 ml/min. Over 99% of propane conversion is achieved at every gas flow rate tested. The reaction products are H2, H2O, CO, CO2, CH4, C2H6, C2H4, C3H6, C4+, and coke with the highest yield of CO and H2 (37 and 29%, respectively), are obtained at 900 °C using the gas flow rate between 225 and 275 ml/min. The oxygen permeation rate observed at this condition is in the range of 1600–1900 μmol/cm2/min. These results suggest that the utilisation of Pr2Ni0.75Cu0.25Ga0.05O4 is promising as an oxygen membrane in the reforming of propane to syngas.. |

The creation of oxygen vacancies is favored for Al- and Ga-doped BZOs and leads to small hydration energies with stable proton sites at the nearest neighbor (1NN). Meanwhile, Y-, In-, and Lu-doped BZOs prefer protons at the second nearest neighbor (2NN). The stability of those defects can be formulated in the context of the energies of oxygen vacancy formation and hydration. BZOs with larger dopants gain more hydration energy by structural relaxation with protons located at 2NN. By isolating the associated complex defects, it is possible to increase the negative hydration energy, which in effect improves the degree of hydration of BZOs. © 2017 American Chemical Society.. |

Thermo-gravimetric analysis was used to determine the proton concentration in the specimens. BZCY(54)8/92 showed a maximum proton concentration limit of 17.1 mol % compared to only 6.03 mol % for SZCY(54)8/92 and retained the highest proton conductivity of 1.44 × 10−2 S cm−1 in wet 1% H2 at 600 °C. Sufficient chemical stability under 80% steam for 200 h was confirm for the said composition. Approximately similar proton mobility levels were observed at 600 °C for the compositions. The major difference in total conductivity originates mostly from the differences in proton concentration levels. The bulk and grain boundary contributions on the conductivity were strongly dependent on the A-site host, with the grain boundary response being the main source of resistance in the BZCY specimens relative to the SZCY. © 2016 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. |

In this study, we investigate a proton-conductive electrolyte to realize high-efficiency SOFCs. To this end, the dependencies of the total conductivity of Ba(Zr0.1Ce0.7Y0.1Yb0.1)O3−δ on the oxygen partial pressure and temperature under wet and dry conditions were measured. Based on the measurement data, we analyzed the ratio of ionic current density to electronic current density in the temperature range of 550–900 °C. Assuming that the area-specific resistance of the electrolyte and the external current density were 0.383 Ω cm2 and 0.25 A cm−2, respectively, the leakage current densities caused by the minority carriers were calculated to be 5.4% and 9.7% of the external current density at 550 °C and 600 °C, respectively. This study developed a method to evaluate proton-conductive electrolyte materials and established guidelines for the development of new materials for high-efficiency SOFCs. © 2016 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. |

The concept of multi-stage electrochemical oxidation using SOFCs has been proposed and studied over the past several decades for further improving the electrical efficiency. However, the improvement is limited by fuel dilution downstream of the fuel flow. Therefore, evolved technologies are required to achieve considerably higher electrical efficiencies. Here we present an innovative concept for a critically-high fuel-to-electricity conversion efficiency of up to 85% based on the lower heating value (LHV), in which a high-temperature multi-stage electrochemical oxidation is combined with a proton-conducting solid electrolyte. Switching a solid electrolyte material from a conventional oxide-ion conducting material to a proton-conducting material under the high-temperature multi-stage electrochemical oxidation mechanism has proven to be highly advantageous for the electrical efficiency. The DC efficiency of 85% (LHV) corresponds to a net AC efficiency of approximately 76% (LHV), where the net AC efficiency refers to the transmission-end AC efficiency. This evolved concept will yield a considerably higher efficiency with a much smaller generation capacity than the state-of-the-art several tens-of-MW-class most advanced combined cycle (MACC).. |

The anode reaction was enhanced by increasing oxygen partial pressure, and this result was opposite to the expectation from the conventional anode reaction (water splitting reaction). The increase in the electrode reaction conductivity with oxygen chemical potential was proportional to PO21/4$$ {P_{{\mathrm{O}}_2}}^{1/4} $$ at 600 °C and at higher oxygen partial pressure region of 700 and 800 °C, suggesting the possibility that the enhancement is caused by the increase in hole concentration on the electrolyte surface near the anode. © 2015, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.. |

The electrical conductivity reached a maximum value at x = 0.5. The proton concentration at x = 0.5 is the highest at this experimental temperature. The condition of the oxygen vacancy was examined by a Raman spectroscopic analysis. The Raman band around 350 cm- 1 attributed to the CeO6 stretching mode was observed and the half band width of the peak is broad when the cation on the B site is a mixture of Ce4 + and Zr4 +. It was found that the symmetry of the octahedron around B-site might be reduced due to the cation mix on the B-site. © 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.. |

In this study, we have developed a symbolic analysis method to investigate the availability of variable parameters appearing in multi-stage electrochemical oxidation mechanism that is expected to further improve the electric efficiencies of SOFCs. In the flow system of the multi-stage oxidation, the fuel utilization, Uf, at the most downstream stack, UfM, is expressed as a function of number of stacks, n, and total fuel utilization, UfT. When n = 10 and UfT = 85%, UfM is calculated to be 36%, which is much smaller than UfT. Therefore, if the most downstream stack has high robustness against lean fuel gas, UfT could be set to higher values without serious degradation by using this flow system. © The Electrochemical Society.. |

The dominant charge carrier is the proton at low temperature. The hole is the dominant charge carrier in an oxidizing atmosphere at high temperature. Based on the conductivity data, the hydrogen potential profile and steady state current in the fuel cell at the polarized state were evaluated by calculation. The performance of the PCFC (protonic ceramic fuel cell) using LSYbIn as the electrolyte was examined in the temperature range of 873-1073 K.

The proton concentration was estimated from the change in weight due to hydration by a thermogravimetric analysis. The conductivity and proton concentration increased with the increase in the In3 + content on the Yb-site.

In order to evaluate the cathode performance, the cathode resistances and the protonic ceramic fuel cell properties were examined using electrochemical cells with a BaCe0.6Zr0.2Y 0.2O3 - δ electrolyte disk at intermediate temperatures. The cells with a milled SSC55 cathode showed lower cathode resistance and higher power density compared to those with the SSC55 cathode prepared from the conventional method. The improvement is attributed to an increase in the cathode reaction sites caused by the use of the smaller particles and a good adhesion to the electrolyte surface. © 2013 Published by Elsevier B.V.. |

The cathode made by the bead-milled particles showed a porous structure consisting of homogeneous size particles and pores in the range 100 nm. The PCFC comprised of this cathode, Ni anode and BaCe0.6Zr 0.2Y0.2O3-∞ (BCZY622) electrolyte increased the cell performances about 6 times that of the cell using the cathode without milling. The cathode preparation using bead-milling is effective in improving the cell performance with an expanded contact area of the cathode/electrolyte interface due to decreasing particle size and good adhesion of the particles to the electrolyte. © 2014 The Japan Institute of Metals and Materials.. |

It was found that LBYb-91 can conduct a large amount of protons as much as 100 mA cm-2 and the theoretical hydrogen evolution is actually occurred by the proton conduction. It was also found that LBYb-91 has high chemical stability against CO2 and H2O, and showed a comparable cell performance to SrZr0.9Y 0.1O3-α (SZY-91) with porous palladium electrode.

The use of these energies needs efficient methods of energy storing and restoring, and hydrogen can serve for an effective conversion between the electricity and the chemical energy. This paper describes the ion-conducting materials applicable to the so-called "hydrogen energy system". Since hydrogen works as an energy medium in this system, hydrogen-ion-transporting materials are beneficial. Proton-conducting oxides will work for this purpose and will be introduced here, viewing from material designing and working mechanism. Application of the proton-conducting oxide materials to water electrolysis is another topic, and how the materials work in principle for conversion between electricity and chemical energy and how their performances could/can be improved will be described. © 2012 IUPAC.. |

Heat treatment temperature in the range of 400-700 °C during synthesis of the material was chosen as the critical parameter for the conductivity and stability in water. Electric resistance of the membrane electrode assembly using the sulfated hydrous titania in water and pH were investigated by the effect of heat treatment temperature on the stability of conductivity and acid detachment. TG, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis measurements were performed to understand the amount and state of the sulfate groups on the surface of sulfated hydrous titania. Heat treatment at 650 °C was found to obtain good conduction behavior for the sulfated hydrous titania and was confirmed to work for a stable water electrolysis. © 2012 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.. |

In particular, a combination with La 0.6Sr 0.4Fe 0.9Mn 0.1O 3 (LSFM) or Ce 0.8Sm 0.2O 2 (SDC) is highly effective for increasing current density. Impedance plots for cathode consisted of two semicircles, which could be assigned to a diffusion and an activation overpotential in low and high frequency region, respectively. Compared with NiFe, mixing with SDC is much more effective for decreasing the diffusion overpotential. This might be assigned to increase in three phase boundary and porosity of cathode. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.. |

YbDC interlayer conducted a large amount of protons as much as 170 mA cm -2. It was also found that cathode overpotential of the YbDC interlayer cells consistently showed a plateau at about 400 mV, at which that of the non-interlayer cells did not show, suggesting a possibility that cathode reaction is changed by introducing the doped ceria interlayer. This result also indicates that the interlayer showed high activity for cathode reaction when enough cathodic bias was applied. Especially, the interlayer showed high activity for the improvement of poor cathode reaction between SrZr 0.9Y 0.1O 3-α (SZY-91) electrolyte and platinum cathode. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

The proton conductivity of sulfuric acid-modified nano-titania was almost the same as that of hydrous sulfated nano-titania investigated in our previous work when the amount of adsorbed sulfate groups was almost the same. The highest conductivity was obtained at an adsorbed sulfate group amount of 0.42 mmol/g, not 0.97 mmol/g. This result indicates that the enhancement of conductivity with increasing amount of adsorbed sulfate groups is limited. This might be attributable to insufficient water molecule adsorption on the Ti 4+ site coordinated with a bidentate sulfate group due to the prevention by excess sulfuric acid.. |

Hydrous titania in the form of nanoparticles was used as a water absorbing porous electrolyte to allow water transport to the anode via electrolyte part of the water electrolysis cell. Overpotential of the porous electrolyte cell in water was lower than that of the Nafion 117 membrane.

Their relaxation processes were analyzed using the solution of Fick's diffusion equation to determine the chemical diffusion coefficients and surface reaction rate constants. There were the differences in chemical relaxation kinetics and the conductivity dependence on P(H2O) between the both oxides. The chemical diffusion coefficients depend on temperature but are essentially independent of P(H 2), P(O2) and P(H2O). The ambipolar diffusion treatment can explain the temperature dependence of chemical diffusion coefficients quantitatively. The chemical diffusion coefficients of SZY10 is one or two order of magnitude smaller than those of BCY5 at low temperature. The sluggish conductivity relaxation in SZY10 was due to considerably small oxygen vacancy diffusion coefficients at low temperatures. The total conductivity depends on P(H2O) in the case of SZY10, but not for BCY5. This different dependence on P(H2O) is caused by the difference in the ratio between proton mobility and oxide-ion mobility. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.. |

Among the examined dopants, it was found that doping Co is the most effective for improving the electrical conductivity and the oxygen permeation rate. With increasing Co amount, electrical conductivity and oxygen permeation rate monotonically increased and the highest oxygen permeation rate is achieved at Sr3Ti0.8Co1.2O7 among the Co doped sample.

However, interfaces can play an important role in the conduction process. The effects of interfaces on ionic properties can be controlled on the basis of "nanoionics". In this study, we demonstrate a nanoionics phenomenon observed in a blue platinum-containing perovskite. The proton conductivity changed reversibly in response to the precipitation of platinum nanoparticles and oxidation to form a solid solution. The results of XAFS measurements, TEM analysis, and electron holography provide evidence of the nanoionics phenomenon, and suggest a possible underlying mechanism for the conductivity change caused by the small amount of precipitated platinum nanoparticles in the perovskite oxide. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.. |

The CO2 negative effects are not permanent and this may result from the inhibition of NO adsorption. Co-feeding of H 2 as a reductant is effective for increasing NO conversion. This suggests that the catalyst surface was covered with strongly adsorbed nitrate or nitride species which formed by adsorption of NO on oxygen formed by the decomposition of NO, and the removal of this surface species might be the most important step for the NO decomposition reaction. Co-feeding of H2 is also effective for increasing the NO decomposition activity in the presence of CO2. The reaction mechanism was studied by IR measurements which also revealed that the surface of the catalyst was covered with strongly bound nitrate species (NO3 -). The addition of H2 to the reaction mixture is effective for NO3 - removal and so accelerates the NO decomposition under coexistence of CO2. © 2008 The Chemical Society of Japan. . |

It was found that the internal resistance of the cell decreased with increasing the pressure, while it is expected that the chemical equilibrium shifts to the reactant side. Detail analysis of the internal resistance by a current interruption method suggests that decrease in the internal resistance results from the decreased IR loss, which is assigned to the increased conductivity of Nafion 117 film. On the other hand, the overpotential of cathode and anode slightly increases as the pressure increases. In particular, the concentration overpotential on both electrodes increased under an elevated pressure. Since the internal resistance decreased by elevating water pressure, water electrolysis efficiency was improved to a value of 65% at 20 MPa, 100 mA/cm2. Consequently, this study reveals that pressure shows the prospective effects on the water electrolysis performance of the cell using Nafion 177 electrolyte in an initial short period.. |

The hydrogel is first patterned by photolithography in any shape on a glass, and later functionalized with the pH indicator, for example, Bromocresol Green (BCG). The hydrogel is polymerized by UV-ray illumination (300-400 nm) on the glass substrate, which is spin coated with the water-soluble prepolymer solution, and immobilized on the glass surface. Unexposed part can be removed easily by water. The hydrogel is hydrophilic, transparent, biocompatible, and is impregnated with the BCG. Then, the Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microchannel is assembled and bonded on the functionalize surface. In this way, we can make patterned pH sensitive surface in the microchannel. Local pH is measured from the color of the hydrogel impregnated with BCG based on the calibrated color information in YCrCb color space. We succeeded in measuring local pH distribution in the microchip. ©2008 IEEE.. |

Since the protons thus formed are in equilibrium with other electronic defects, electrons and holes, the oxides possibly have different proton-conduction properties at and near boundaries when they are in contact with another phase. In this paper, we present our recent experimental observation of a marked change in the electrical properties of a proton conductor upon the dispersal of fine platinum particles in the oxide. First, the material shows extremely low electrical conductivity in comparison with the original proton-conducting perovskite. Second, there was a threshold amount of platinum at which such a drop in conductivity occurred. A percolation model is employed to explain these experimental results; the fine platinum particles dispersed in the proton-conducting oxide wears highly resistive skin that is formed due to shifts in defect equilibriums, which prevents ionic/electronic conduction. The experiments suggest that the ion-conducting properties of oxides can be varied by introducing interfaces at a certain density; nanoionics is a key to yielding enhanced and/or controlled ionic conduction in solids. © 2007 NIMS and Elsevier Ltd.. |

Single-phase samples of BaCe 0.90-xY0.10MxO3-δ were obtained at 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.10 for M = Mn and Co and at 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.075 for M = Fe. The conductivity of the samples in air decreased with transition-metal doping. Among the doped samples, Mn-doped solutions showed the lowest conductivity and the highest activation energy of conduction. The conductivity of these samples was independent of the concentration of the transition metals (x). This behavior of the conductivity could be explained by supposing the generation of the impurity state by transition-metal doping inside the band gap. In hydrogen, samples showed ionic conduction. The influence of transition-metal doping on the conduction behavior in hydrogen is small. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.. |

The valence band of H 2-annealed BaCe0.90Y0.10O3-δ, which consists of the O 2p states hybridized with Ce 4f states, shifts to the higher binding energy side by approximately 0.4 eV. In the air-annealed BaCe0.90Y0.10O3-δ, holes and acceptor levels are observed at the top of the valence band and just above E F, respectively. Their intensities are lower in H 2-annealed BaCe0.90Y0.10O3-δ. These findings indicate directly that hydrogen doping compensates for the presence of the holes. © 2005 Elsevier B.V.

Both current-voltage and impedance characteristics showed a reversible oxygen partial pressure dependence. The junctions demonstrated the photovoltaic effect even at high temperatures, which means the nonohmic behavior of the heterojunction remains even at high temperatures. The highest open circuit voltage and short circuit current density were 123 mV and 1.37 mA cm-2, respectively, at 1 bar O2 under 261 mW cm-2 UV irradiation. Incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency and energy conversion efficiency improved as PO2 increased.

The oxygen nonstoichiometry, δ, of dense La0.5Sr0.5CoO3-δ was measured in the stream of NOx-O2-N2 system at 873 to 1073 K by means of a thermogravimetric method. Small amounts of NO 2 caused large changes in oxygen nonstoichiometry. It seems probable that excessive amounts of oxygen can be incorporated into the bulk due to catalytic decomposition of NO2, and as a result, oxygen potential on the surface of the sample seems to be much higher than that of gaseous phase. EMF measurements for dense La0.6Sr0.4CoO 3-δ electrode also revealed that the oxygen potential is affected by NO2. Thus, the gas sensing mechanism of this oxide was found to relate to the change of the bulk property, especially oxygen nonstoichiometry. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.. |

PM-IRRAS method can detect surface species selectively with high sensitivity at high temperatures without background measurement to cancel the infrared absorption by gas phase. Two different O2(g), Pt/YSZ electrochemical half cells were prepared as simple models of gas-electrodes. One of them had a working electrode which was composed of uniformly distributed platinum; the other had an island-networked platinum electrode. On the former electrode, PM-IRRAS detected a concentration change of adsorbed oxygen on Pt electrode with controlled cathodic overpotential. On the other hand, for the latter sample that showed smaller cathodic current, the signal of the adsorbed oxygen was suppressed by SiO2 impurity, whose spectrum was detected at 1220 cm- 1 by PM-IRRAS. It was shown that PM-IRRAS gives useful information on the state of adsorbed species which affect the electrode kinetics and the cell performance. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.. |

Although the electrical conductivity monotonically increased with increasing amount of Fe, partial electronic conduction became significant. Considering the transport number of oxide ions and conductivity, the optimum composition for oxide ion conductivity in this system is La 0.7Sr0.3Ga0.7Fe0.2Mg 0.1O3-δ (LSGFM73721). Although transport number of oxide ions is almost 0.8, extremely high power density was achieved by using LSGFM73721 as electrolyte of a SOFC. The maximum power densities of 870 and 167 mW/cm2 were obtained at 1073 and 873 K, respectively, in spite of 0.5 mm thickness when 90Ni10Fe was used for the anode. A coating of La 0.9Sr0.1Ga0.8Mg0.2O3 film on anode side of LSGFM plate was investigated by pulsed laser ablation method. Since the deposited film was not dense, open circuit potential was almost unchanged in spite of LSGM film deposition, however, power density improved much by deposition of LSGM film and the maximum power densities of 197 and 100 mW/cm2 were achieved at 873 and 773 K respectively. This study reveals that LSGMF is a suitable electrolyte for intermediate temperature SOFCs.. |

A rhombohedral phase was observed under most experimental conditions. With temperature rising, the lattice volume increased linearly in a low temperature region; the coefficient of linear thermal expansion (CTE) was 1.06×10-5K-1. In a high temperature region, the temperature dependence of the lattice volume upwardly deviated from the linearity, indicating that the unit cell expanded upon decrease in excess oxygen. The nonstoichiometry coefficient of the linear isothermal expansion was calculated at 5×10-2 using literature data on δ(T, PO2). The rhombohedral distortion escalated with temperature and PO2 decreasing. The dependence of cell volume and distortion on nonstoichiometry is well interpreted as the effect of variation in the ionic radius and tolerance factor. © 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.. |

The activation energy for the conductivity at an oxygen partial pressure of 10 -4 bar was 0.29 eV. This value was too small to be assigned for oxide ion conduction, indicating that, in oxidizing atmospheres, electronic conduction is dominant due to Nb doping. On the other hand, the oxygen partial pressure dependence of conductivity was complicated in reducing atmospheres. Defect chemical analysis was made to interpret the conductivity variation with oxygen partial pressure. The defect association model was introduced, which assumes that oxygen vacancies are easily formed around niobium ions and that one of the released electrons is trapped on Nb5+. The experimental data was found in accordance with that calculated by the proposed defect association model. © 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.. |

From an XRD study, a second phase assigned to Sr2CeO4 was observed under strongly reducing conditions such as dry H2 with P(H2O)=4.6 × 10 Pa [ P(O2)=3.1 × 10 -15 Pa] at 1273 K. From Raman spectroscopy, it was found that treated specimens under hydrogen atmosphere exhibited additional Raman bands, which may be assigned to the second phase.

In any compositions, δ becomes larger and is getting closer to δ=x/2 with decreasing P(O2). At the same P(O2), δ of La 1-xCaxCiO3-δ increases with increasing T and x. There is almost no difference in oxygen nonstoichiometry between Ca-doped lanthanum chromite and Sr-doped lanthanum chromite. Defect chemical analysis was performed taking defect interaction into consideration. The nonstoichiometry curves were reproduced well by the proposed defect model and the obtained thermodynamic parameters. The influence of defect interaction on defect formation energy can be mainly attributed to change in interatomic potential due to defect-induced lattice expansion. © 2004 Elsevier B.V.

The STNO/ITO interface was prepared by Pulsed Laser Deposition Technique (PLD) on 0.01 wt% Nb doped SrTiO3 single crystal (100) at 873 K in 1 Pa O2 condition. A depletion layer of Schottky barrier formed at the STNO/ITO interface was irradiated with UV-light, the wavelength of which corresponds to the band gap of STNO at high temperatures (673-873K). The current-voltage (I-V) characteristics were measured at temperatures up to 873K in various oxygen partial pressures. It was found that the STNO/TTO interface shows rectification and photovoltaic effects at the temperatures studied, which vary with oxygen partial pressure. These phenomena ensure the existence of Schottky barriers at high temperatures and the possibility of high-temperature photovoltaic energy conversion.. |

The O 1s XAS spectrum of air-annealed SrZr0.90Y0.10O3-δ exhibits three distinct features, namely, the holes on top of the valence band, acceptor-induced level just above the Fermi level and Zr 4d defect-induced level at the bottom of the conduction band, which are lower in the O 1s XAS spectrum of wet-annealed SrZr0.90Y0.10O3-δ.

Current-voltage and capacitance-voltage responses were measured using three-terminal electrode configuration. Under high oxygen partial pressures, clear rectification behaviors were observed. Diffusion model well explained the current vs. voltage relationship with ideality factors close to unity. The barrier height varied reversibly with oxygen partial pressure, and was almost independent of the electrode materials, which suggested that the Fermi level at the interface was pinned by the surface states. The origin of the surface states was discussed in terms of oxygen adsorption or oxidative formation of metal vacancies around the surface. Chemical interaction between the surface and oxygen and resulting cation rearrangement was concluded to play an important role from the long stabilization time on oxygen partial pressure change. The water vapor pressure dependence of the barrier height was also explained by competitive adsorption of oxygen and water. © 2004 Kluwer Academic Publishers.. |

Microscopic behaviors were observed with a newly designed sample holder that enabled in-situ observation of an electrode in operation under controlled atmosphere at elevated temperatures. The preferential carbon deposition site, the structure of the deposited carbon, and the chemical or electrochemical re-oxidation processes were investigated with an optical microscope combined with a laser Raman microscope. Color and morphology change of the electrode surface was recorded with a CCD camera, and the deposited materials were identified with a laser Raman microscope. A nickel micro grid was used as a model electrode of a well-defined microstructure. When the cell was kept at an open circuit condition in methane, carbon started to deposit on the surface of Ni grid electrode. The deposition of carbon was clearly observed as the change in the reflection on the nickel surface by optical microscope as well as by the appearance of the specific peak at ∼1560 cm-1 in Raman spectroscopy. The deposited carbon was in the form of graphite on the nickel grid electrode. The carbon coverage on the surface was not uniform but varied from grain to grain. When a certain anodic overpotential (e.g. 200 mV) was applied to the electrode, the carbon disappeared gradually from the edge of the electrode i.e. from the electrode/electrolyte boundary where oxygen was supplied electrochemically. It is the first in-situ observation of the electrochemical carbon oxidation in a real operation condition.. |

The Fermi level (EF) of H2-annealed BaCe0.90Y 0.10O3-δ shifts to the conduction band side by approximately 0.4 eV. The holes and acceptor level are observed at the top of the valence band and just above EF, respectively. Their intensities are lower in the H2-annealed BaCe0.90Y 0.10O3-δ, indicating that doped hydrogen enters hole and acceptor states.

In spectra, a signal showing existence of oxygen vacancies was observed at about 630 cm-1 for doped samples. The intensity of this band increased with oxygen vacancy formation by Yb-doping and by annealing at high temperatures in dry [low P(H2O)] or reducing [low P(O2)] conditions. Since a clear relationship between a peak intensity of the oxygen vacancy band and dopant concentration was obtained, it was found oxygen nonstoichiometry in SrCe 1-xYbxO3-δ system could be evaluated using this relationship. © 2003 Elsevier B.V.

The protonic conductivity of the Rh-doped AZrO3 in hydrogen was close to that of the Y-doped AZrO3. The transport numbers of the ions in hydrogen were unity in all the samples examined in this study. Under high-oxygen partial pressures, the conductivities of the Rh-doped AZrO3 were lower than those of the Y- or In-doped AZrO3, suggesting the low conductivity of electron holes. The oxygen partial pressure dependence of the conductivity indicates that a change in the valence of the rhodium ion might suppress the generation of mobile holes under a high-oxygen partial pressure condition. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

This paper describes the methodology of the hydrogen isotope sensing together with experimental results. When hydrogen isotope gases are introduced to an electrochemical cell using a proton-conducting electrolyte (hydrogen isotope cell), the electromotive force (EMF) of the cell agrees with that theoretically estimated. The EMF signals can be used for the determination of the hydrogen isotope ratio in gases if the total hydrogen pressure is predetermined. By supplementary use of an oxide ion conductor cell, both the ratio and total pressure of the hydrogen isotopes can be simultaneously determined.. |

When a constant current was sent to the pumping cell to draw out hydrogen at the interface of the two cells, the sensing cell indicated EMF as a function of hydrogen or water vapor activity in the test gas. This suggest that the hydrogen activity at the interface could be controlled with respect the test gas atmosphere, based on the equal rate of the hydrogen pumping and hydrogen or water vapor diffusion through the pore at the stationary state. . |

The efficiency was increased with increasing partial pressure of water vapor and temperature. The results were considered in relation to the reaction rates at the anode and cathode. Under the operating conditions of steam electrolysis, the reaction rate of producing H2 from protons at the cathode was found to be faster than that of oxidizing water vapor into protons and O2 at the anode. Therefore, the average concentration of protons in the partial protonic conductor during electrolysis decreased. On the other hand, the average concentration of holes increased. This is considered to decrease the efficiency of steam electrolysis. It was found that the effective transport numbers of charge carriers in the partial protonic conductor were controlled by the reaction rates at the electrodes at relatively low temperatures at which the equilibria between the atmosphere and defects in the partial protonic conductor were difficult to obtain.. |

In SrxCeO3-α, single phase of samples was confirmed for x = 0.98, 1.00, 1.02, 1.05 and 1.10. At x≤1.0, conduction was electronic in hydrogen and ionic in air. On the other hand, at x>1.0, the dominant conduction carriers were protons in hydrogen and electron holes in air. The dependence of conduction characteristic on x in SrxCeO3-α was similar to that in BaxCeO3-α, although there was small quantitative difference between two systems. This means that the A/Ce non-stoichiometry results in the similar type of defect structure in SrxCeO3-α and in BaxCeO3-α. In Sr- or Ba-poor region, the partial substitution of excess Ce for A-site in ABO3 perovskite may occur. At x > 1.0, the substitution of excess Sr or Ba for B-site may happen and this substitution leads to the introduction of the oxide ion vacancies in the lattice.. |

These oxides are unique in respect of the fact that they have no protons as a host component, but incorporate protons via reactions with the atmosphere. The materials of this class are some perovskite-type oxides and other oxides which contain crystal defects. Defect equilibria for proton formation in these kinds of oxides are discussed citing some experimental results. Possible electrochemical devices using proton conducting ceramics are briefly introduced.. |

A decrease in current efficiency was observed at relatively high current density. The critical current density for the reduction of the efficiency decreased with increasing amount of water vapor in the anode hydrogen gas. Addition of a small amount of argon to the anode gas had no effect on the pumping characteristics. It was concluded that the lack of hydrogen and the increase in partial pressure of oxygen at the anode on sending high current could cause the partial hole conduction in the electrolyte and the decrease in current efficiency of the hydrogen pump.. |

Stable and reproducible EMF was observed. The EMF could be attributed to the internal potential in the electrolyte and redox potentials of H2 and D2 gases. The former is based on the mobility differences between protons and deuterons. In addition, there would be a contribution of oxygen concentration cell to the EMF of the cell in the case of the SrCe0.95Yb0.05O3-α electrolyte due to its partial oxide ion conduction in the high-temperature region.. |

X-ray powder diffraction patterns of these sinters indicated that the specimens with 0.95 ≤ x ≤ 1.10 were a single phase of orthorhombic perovskite-type BaCeO3, while the sinter with x = 0.90 was a mixed phase of perovskite and CeO2 impurity. The conduction properties of the specimens with 0.95 ≤ x ≤ 1.05 were studied electrochemically in the temperature range of 600-1000. The conduction properties of the specimens were strongly influenced by Ba2+:Ce4+ site nonstoichiometry. The specimens with excess Ba showed a predominant ionic conduction (H+ + O2-) with ion transport number larger than 0.5 under hydrogen atmosphere, whereas they showed a poor oxide-ionic conduction (oxide-ion transport numbers 0.8) in oxidative atmosphere, while a poor ionic conduction (ion transport numbers |

This kind of cell (H2/D2) gave steady and reproducible EMF for which the D2 side electrode was positive. The EMF could be explained by the two factors, i.e., the difference in mobilities of proton and deuteron in the electrolyte and the electrode reactions of H2 and D2 gases. The EMF of the cell for mixed isotope gases was nearly linear with the composition of hydrogen isotopes with a slight deviation and was consistent with such a mechanism of EMF of hydrogen isotope cell.. |

Hydrogen partial pressure in the test gas was controlled by electrochemical hydrogen pump. When pumping current was controlled based on the Faraday's law, hydrogen content in the test gas with a constant flow-rate was well regulated, while change in flow-rate of the gas caused some deviation of hydrogen partial pressure from that desired. The pumping current could be determined in a self-correcting manner, which was efficient to regulate gas even with changes in flow-rate and/or initial hydrogen content in the gas. © 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.

EMF of oxygen concentration cells using the specimen as an electrolyte obeyed Nernst's equation, indicating their unique ionic conduction. The charge carrier for the ionic conduction was confirmed quantitatively to be lithium ions by means of Tubandt's method. Partial substitution of alkaline earth metals and lithium for lanthanum in LiLaSiO4 was found to be effective to enhance conductivity and to improve sintering property. © 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.

While considerable thickness of zinc selenide film could not be deposited, almost stoichiometric cadmium selenide and zinc cadmium selenide films with different phases were deposited at different deposition potentials. The possible mechanism for lack of zinc selenide formation and different phase formation of cadmium selenide and zinc cadmium selenide at various deposition potential has been discussed.. |

The effect of solution temperature, postheat-treatment temperature, and addition of cadmium on the electrochromic behavior (color/bleach durability cycle, response time, and coloration efficiency of the nickel hydroxide films in NaOH) were investigated. A significant increase in the color/bleach durability cycle from 500 (for the as-deposited film) to more than 5000 cycles (for the heat-treated film) was observed. The addition of cadmium increased the utilization of the active materials. It was found that the coloration efficiency was 40 cm2/C and coloration and bleaching response time were 20 to 30 s and 8 to 10 s, respectively. The change in the electrochromic properties with heat-treatment temperature is discussed based on the physical and electrochemical analysis.. |

Through the use of microdesigned multilayer Cu/80Ni·20Cr/Cu interlayers, PTLP (Partial Transient Liquid-Phase) bonding of Al2O3 has been achieved in a vacuum at 1150°C. These results demonstrate that the bonding temperature, the dissolution of Cr into liquid Cu film improved the wettability of liquid Cu film on Al2O3 and facilitate the formation of reliably strong joint PTLP bonded Al2O3 using Cu/80Ni·20Cr/Cu interlayer.. |

The powders with the nominal composition of La 1-xSr xCrO 3 were equilibrated under various conditions, and then identified by XRD analyses. To confirm the equilibration, two independent experiments were performed for each composition observing (i) the precipitation of the second phase from a single-phase solid solution, and (ii) the formation of the single phase from the constituent oxides. Two kinds of second phases, SrCrO 4 and an unknown phase, were observed depending on the conditions. The second phases tended to appear at low temperature, in high P O2 and with a large Sr content. The single-phase regions obtained via the two equilibration routes were in good agreement with each other. The thermodynamic calculations on the supposition of ideality of the solid solution essentially reproduced the experimental results. When this material is used as the interconnects of solid oxide fuel cells, much attention should be paid to its relatively narrow solubility range of Sr; for example, the solubility limit is approximately 0.1 under a typical cathode-side condition (1273K, air). © 2004 Elsevier Inc.
