Artigo IPEN-doc 29902 W-doped Lanthanum Molybdenum Oxide/Lithium-Sodium-Potassium Carbonate Composite Membranes for Carbon Dioxide Permeation2023 - MEDINA, MIDILANE S.; CARVALHO, SABRINA G.M.; TABUTI, FRANCISCO N.; MUCCILLO, ELIANA N.S.; FONSECA, FABIO C.; MUCCILLO, REGINALDOSingle-phase tungsten-doped lanthanum molybdenum oxide (La2MoWO9) ceramic powders were synthesized using the complex polymerization technique. Porous ceramic pellets were obtained by thermally removing graphite, which served as a pore former. The porous pellets were then impregnated with molten eutectic lithium-sodium-potassium carbonates. The energy dispersive X-ray analysis and scanning electron microscopy (FEG-SEM) images of the external and fracture surfaces of the La2MoWO9-(Li,Na,K)2CO3 composite dual-phase membrane revealed the percolation of the carbonate mixture through the pores. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements conducted at temperatures below and above the melting point of the eutectic carbonate composition demonstrated the contributions of oxygen and carbonate ions to the ionic conductivity of the dual membrane. The electrical conductivity of the carbonate ions within the membrane was continuously monitored for over 1300 h with negligible degradation, implying that the membrane could be used for long-term monitoring of CO2 without aging effects. A comparison of FEG-SEM images taken before and after this endurance test suggested minimal fouling, indicating that the membrane could potentially replace similar zirconia- and ceria-based composite membranes.Artigo IPEN-doc 20097 Nickel/gadolinium-doped ceria anode for direct ethanol solid oxide fuel cell2014 - AUGUSTO, BRUNO L.; NORONHA, FABIO B.; FONSECA, FABIO C.; TABUTI, FRANCISCO N.; COLMAN, RITA C.; MATTOS, LISIANE V.This report investigates the properties of nickel/gadolinium-doped ceria (Ni/GDC) as anode material for bio-ethanol fueled SOFC. The Ni/GDC cermets with 18 and 44 wt.% Ni were prepared by a hydrothermal method. Ethanol decomposition, steam reforming, and partial oxidation of ethanol were studied using a fixed-bed reactor at 1123 K. Carbon was formed only under dry ethanol for both catalysts. The addition of water or oxygen to the feed inhibited the formation of carbon. Ni/GDC was used as the anode current collector layer and as a catalytic layer in single cells tests. No deposits of carbon were detected in single cells with Ni/GDC catalytic layer after 50 h of continuous operation under direct (dry) ethanol. This result was attributed to the catalytic properties of the Ni/GDC layer and the operation mechanism of gradual internal reforming, in which the oxidation of hydrogen provides the steam for ethanol reforming, thus avoiding carbon deposition.
