This study experimentally investigated the impact of the EPOC effect on the DMR reaction during the operation of SOFC.By altering operational parameters,the catalytic performance of DMR under different operating voltages was obtained.Additionally,a classical kinetic model was combined with an improved electrochemical kinetic model to propose a DMR-SOFC catalytic kinetic model based on the EPOC effect.The plug flow model was applied to the DMR-SOFC reactor,and a hybrid optimization algorithm combining nonlinear least squares fitting and genetic algorithms was established to extract kinetic parameters from experimental results.The computational results indicated that the predicted values obtained using the established kinetic model aligned well with the experimental results.Within the temperature range of 650-750℃,this model could effectively perform quantitative analysis of the DMR kinetic performance under electrochemical promoted catalysis.
在电化学环境下,氧化钆掺杂氧化铈(GDC)的氧离子电导能够加强所谓的电化学强化催化效应(Electrochemical Promotion of Catalysis,EPOC)[15-18],该效应最早由麻省理工学院(MIT)的Vayenas等发现,其能使金属-载体表面的催化反应活性在工作电压存在的情况下获得极大的提升。迄今在铂-氧化钇稳定氧化锆(Pt-YSZ)表面的碳氢化合物电化学氧化反应,NOx电化学还原以及Nafion-Pd表面的丁烯加氢反应等一系列金属-载体表面电化学催化中均有广泛地体现。同样的,在DMR催化层中的金属-载体界面,EPOC效应将会显著影响DMR反应过程路径与催化动力学,在外电势与离子电流的驱动下,具有氧离子电导的GDC相会将O2-传导至Ni-GDC的界面上,进而引起界面处Ni颗粒的内表面正电荷富集,在电荷平衡的推动下,GDC表面的富氧物种Oδ-将迁移扩散至Ni颗粒的表面,形成一层有效双电层,即发生所谓的Oδ-反溢流[19-20],Oδ-反溢流能够改变Ni表面的氧物种浓度,促进DMR中Ni表面C(s)的氧化过程,并将C(s)氧化位点从三相界面扩展至了Ni颗粒表面,因此能够有效提高DMR反应催化活性。
