Good results are obtained with oxide-coated valve metals as anode materials. These electrically conducting ceramic coatings of p-conducting spinel-ferrite (e.g., cobalt, nickel and lithium ferrites) have very low consumption rates. Lithium ferrite has proved particularly effective because it possesses excellent adhesion on titanium and niobium [26]. In addition, doping the perovskite structure with monovalent lithium ions provides good electrical conductivity for anodic reactions. Anodes produced in this way are distributed under the trade name Lida [27]. The consumption rate in seawater is given as 10 g A ar and in fresh water is... 

The relatively high cost and lack of domestic supply of noble metals has spurred considerable efforts toward the development of nonnoble metal catalysts for automobile exhaust control. A very large number of base metal oxides and mixtures of oxides have been considered, especially the transition metals, such as copper, chromium, nickel, manganese, cobalt vanadium, and iron. Particularly prominent are the copper chromites, which are mixtures of the oxides of copper and chromium, with various promoters added. These materials are active in the oxidation of CO and hydrocarbons, as well as in the reduction of NO in the presence of CO (55-59). Rare earth oxides, such as lanthanum cobaltate and lanthanum lead manganite with Perovskite structure, have been investigated for CO oxidation, but have not been tested and shown to be sufficiently active under realistic and demanding conditions (60-63). Hopcalities are out-... 

An example for a compound of the perovskite type is LaNiOj. In other com-ponnds of the perovskite type, nickel may be replaced by cobalt or iron, and lan-thannm in part by alkaline-earth metals, an example being Lag 8Sro2Co03. The activity of perovskites toward cathodic oxygen reduction is low at room temperature but rises drastically with increasing temperature (particularly so above 150°C). In certain cases the activity rises so much that the equilibrium potential of the oxygen electrode is established. 

Cobaltites with spinel stractnre have compositions MC02O4, where M is a metal forming divalent cations, snch as zinc, cadminm, magnesinm, nickel, manganese, and divalent cobalt. In contrast to the perovskites, the cobaltites have a rather high catalytic activity already at room temperatnre. Experiments show that the activity increases with increasing spinel structure content (i.e., increasing number of Co ions) of the catalyst snrface. The trivalent cobalt ions promote the withdrawal of...

Single-phase perovskite MIECs such as Sr-doped lanthanum cobaltite (LSC), lanthanum ferrite (LSF), lanthanum cobalt ferrite (LSCF) and samarium cobaltite (SSC), and Ca-doped lanthanum ferrite (LCF) [13] are sometimes used alone in SOFC cathodes, as depicted in the lower right-hand comer of Figure 6.1, but combining an... 

Similarly to the case of direct-oxidation anode materials, sulfur-tolerant anode materials based on sulfides [6, 7] or double-perovskite oxides have special requirements for their processing into SOFC layers. For example, nickel sulfide-promoted molybdenum sulfide is tolerant to high sulfur levels [7], However, it has a low melting temperature [6] that has resulted in the development of cobalt sulfide as a stabilizer of the molybdenum sulfide catalyst [6], CoS-MoS2 admixed with Ag has an even higher performance in H2S-containing fuels than in pure H2 [6]. However, processing methods such as PS, infiltration, or sol-gel techniques that can process...
