Platinum doped oxides with extremely low utilization of noble metal and excellent catalytic activity have gained attention in high-temperature electrochemical cells. However, platinum ions tend to be reduced in reducing atmospheres, resulting in the catalyst deactivation. In this work, lanthanum is introduced into Pt-CeO2, which aims to deal with the above problem and provides an approach to promote Pt-CeO2 based catalysts for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells. In specific, lanthanum doped Pt-CeO2 catalysts are prepared and infiltrated into the anode. The results show the highest peak power density with 10 mol% lanthanum doped Pt-CeO2 among all samples. In-situ ambient pressure X-ray photoemission spectroscopy investigation reveals that the reducibility of CeO2 can be tailored by lanthanum dopants, which leads to exceptional stability of active Pt2+ in reducing atmospheres. Our results foster the development of more stable and inexpensive Pt-CeO2 for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells.

Abstract
Platinum doped oxides with extremely low utilization of noble metal and excellent catalytic activity have gained attention in high-temperature electrochemical cells. However, platinum ions tend to be reduced in reducing atmospheres, resulting in the catalyst deactivation. In this work, lanthanum is introduced into Pt-CeO2, which aims to deal with the above problem and provides an approach to promote Pt-CeO2 based catalysts for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells. In specific, lanthanum doped Pt-CeO2 catalysts are prepared and infiltrated into the anode. The results show the highest peak power density with 10 mol% lanthanum doped Pt-CeO2 among all samples. In-situ ambient pressure X-ray photoemission spectroscopy investigation reveals that the reducibility of CeO2 can be tailored by lanthanum dopants, which leads to exceptional stability of active Pt2+ in reducing atmospheres. Our results foster the development of more stable and inexpensive Pt-CeO2 for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
