摘要: Abstract In the present work, effects of a tar-containing simulated syngas on an IT-SOFC (Intermediate Temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cell) are evaluated. Performance and degradation rate planar anode-supported cell, operating under obtained from steam-enriched air gasification biomass, have been studied. The was contaminated using toluene as model tar. Polarization curves electrochemical impedance spectroscopy carried out different concentrations. A cell then operated constant current density long run. EIS measurements were made during operation to analyze degradation, voltage evolution compared that another identical in clean for 1000 h similar conditions. deep post-mortem characterization performed by means XRD measurements, Raman SEM/EDS analysis. Results show presence tar dramatically reduces performances affecting both activation mass transport processes. Post-mortem analysis shows formation carbon deposits, oxidation Ni NiO, segregation ZrO 2 YSZ phase, particle coarsening enhanced fragility anode structure, good agreement with what suggested results.
