TG/DTA-MS evaluation of methane cracking and coking on doped nickel-zirconia based cermets
2014 - RESTIVO, THOMAZ A.G.; MELLO CASTANHO, SONIA R.H.; TENORIO, JORGE A.
Cermet materials based on metallic nickel and cubic zirconia are the key material for applications on solid oxide fuel cells and high temperature water electrolysis. The main advantage is the possibility of direct feeding a hydrocarbon fuel, like methane, or even an alcohol as a source of hydrogen. The reforming reaction on the Ni catalyst surface can produce hydrogen continuously. However, the resulting catalyst poisoning by carbon deposition (coking) imparts their broad application. The work shows the evaluation of coking tolerance of some cermets prepared by mechanical alloying techniques and compares new additives specially chosen in order to avoid coking and increase the catalytic activity. Refractory metal additives besides copper were added to the basic cermet. While copper is a known doping agent that avoids coking, the refractory metals (Mo and W) have a twofold effect: promote sintering at lower temperatures and increase Cu activity due to their mutual immiscibility. Results of TG/DTA-MS analysis demonstrate both refractory metals have increased the coking tolerance as well as the catalytic activity during diluted methane cracking. Molybdenum and tungsten additives are promised regarding the improvement of these cermet materials for high temperature electrochemical devices.

YZrO2-Ni cermet processing by high energy milling
2007 - RESTIVO, T.A.G.; CASTANHO, S.R.H.M.
A new method for SOFC fuel cell anode preparation is proposed where the main difference lies over cermet powder processing by high energy milling. Yttria stabilized zirconia powder and metallic nickel undergo co-milling in a vibratory device employing zirconia bead media. Dispersed and homogeneous powders are therefore obtained. The material is pressed uniaxialy and sintered at 1350°C for 0,5 h in air and under argon and hydrogen. In the former case, partial nickel oxidation occurs before sintering leading to small shrinkage down to 2% and porosity about 38%. Linear shrinkages from 5 to 7% after sintering in both inert and reduced atmospheres were observed not demanding pore-former additives. Conventional YSZ, Ni and NiO powder mixtures were prepared for comparison purpose. The high energy milling process is able to reduce the starting sintering temperature by 130° C besides a higher densification compared to the simple mixtures YSZ+Ni. The excessive sintering and particle coalescence is absent in high energy milled material, where the metal is well dispersed and the microstructure is highly homogenous. The high energy milling process is a promising route to prepare with excellent performance anode materials for SOFC cells.
