Abstract

This paper reports the chemical degradation of Ni-based SOFC anodes caused by small amounts of impurities supplied with fuels. In particular, the impurity dependence of degradation behaviors as well as poisoning mechanisms are highlighted and investigated. Poisoning effects by chlorine and siloxanes are found to be critical to achieve satisfactory SOFC durability. In addition, it has also been demonstrated that phosphorus and boron compounds lead to gradual decrease in cell voltage, Ni grain growth, and even formation of nickel phosphates. The measured trends are discussed in relation to the thermochemical calculations and FESEM/STEM-EDX analysis.
