Abstract

The electrochemical behaviour of Ni-Ce_0.9Gd_0.1O _2-□ (Ni-CGO) with a NiO content of 2.5 and 70 wt.% was investigated by impedance spectroscopy. Symmetrical cells with yttrium-stabilized zirconia as electrolyte were prepared with screen printing and then sintered at 1250°C for 5 h. The microstructure of the anode material after sintering was analysed by SEM. Impedance spectroscopy measurements were carried out in atmospheres containing H₂, CH ₄ and N₂ at various compositions humidified with 3% H ₂O in the temperature range 700-850°C. No visible carbon deposition on both electrodes was found after measurements in variable atmospheres of H₂ and CH₄ (Balance N₂) despite the high content of Ni. However, carbon deposition occurred on the anode with 70 wt.% NiO during continuous exposure in stability testing for 90 h in 97% CH₄/3% H₂O.
