Characterization and electrochemical behaviour of nanostructured calcium samari...

Ca1-xSmxMnO3(0 . x . 0.4) films were successfully fabricated on Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) coated quartzglass substrates by radio frequency magnetron sputtering technique (RF- magnetron sputtering) fromcompacted nanosized powder targets, and subsequent annealing at 800.C in air, for 6 h. X-ray diffrac-tion shows a pure typical perovskite phase for x . 0.1. Scanning electron microscopy and atomic forcemicroscopy r...

Oxide loading effect on the electrochemical performance of LaNiO3 coatings in a...

LaNiO3 film electrodes were prepared by brush painting using nickel-foam supports in order to increase its surface area available for electrochemical reactions. Loadings varying between 20 and 140 mg cm-2 were tested. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to evaluate the coatings roughness (Rf) and morphology (f) factors, complemented by optical microscopy observat...

Towards stable bifunctional oxygen electrodes and corrosion resistant gas diffu...

ABSTRACT: Regenerative fuel cells (RFCs) can provide very high energy storage at minimal weight in a dual mode system, by combining an electrolyzer and a fuel cell. Although RFCs are an appealing technology their development is still at an early stage. One key issue is the search for highly active electrocatalysts for both oxygen reduction and water oxidation. Presently, platinum is the best electrocatalyst for...

LaNiO3-based catalyst in gas diffusion electrodes: activity and stability for o...

Perovskite-type oxides are potential catalysts for next generation of regenerative fuel cells. In particular, LaNiO3 has been recognised as one of the most promising oxygen electrodes. In this work LaNiO3 perovskite-type oxides, prepared by a self-combustion method [1, 2], have been used for the preparation of porous gas-diffusion electrodes (GDE). Electrodes were prepared on Toray carbon paper (CP) substrates,...

Redox stability and bifunctionality of LaNiO3-based oxygen electrodes

One key issue in the development of Regenerative fuel cells (RFCs) is the availability of cheap, highly active electrocatalysts for both oxygen reduction and water oxidation. Perovskite-type oxides, with the general formula ABO3, are potential catalysts for next generation of regenerative fuel cells. In particular, LaNiO3 has been recognised as one of the most promising oxygen electrodes. In this work LaNiO3 pe...

Effect of the oxide loading on the surface characteristics of LaNio3 oxide coa...

The LaNiO3 perovskite-type oxide is one of the most tested anode for the oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline solutions. It is well established that the oxide preparation conditions and the electrode fabrication are key factors to control the electrochemical behaviour of oxide coatings. In a previous work the authors studied the influence of preparation conditions of the oxide and support type on the electroch...

Improving electrocatalityc activity of LaNiO3 films by deposition on foam nick...

The electrodes were obtained by coating a nickel foam support with the oxide suspension. Optical microscopy and cyclic voltammetry were used on the electrodes characterization. The evaluation of the electrodes electrocatalytic activity, towards the oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline medium, was performed by means of steady state measurements. The reaction follows a first order kinetics, with respect to OH- c...
