Dual‐Doping Induced Synergistic Functionality in a Perovskite Air Electrode for Balanced Performance and Durability in Reversible Protonic Ceramic Cells
Abstract
The development of high‐performance air electrodes for reversible protonic ceramic cells (RPCCs) is constrained by the inherent trade‐off between electrocatalytic activity and operational stability. To address this challenge, a dual‐doping strategy was employed to dop Ti and Nb into PrBaCo 2 O 5+δ , resulting in a novel triple‐conducting (H + /O 2− /e − ) perovskite air electrode, PrBaCo 1.8 Ti 0.1 Nb 0.1 O 5+δ (PBCTN). The comprehensive characterization study demonstrates that the PBCTN oxide exhibits outstanding stability under high‐temperature and high‐humidity environments and show a polarization resistance as low as 0.06 Ω cm 2 at 700°C. Density functional theory calculations reveal that optimized hydration energy, a more favorable O 2p band center, and accelerated surface reactions enhance the oxygen reduction and evolution kinetics. Through this design, the RPCC with the PBCTN air electrode achieves a peak power density of 1.12 W cm −2 at 700°C in fuel cell mode and a current density of 3.1 A cm −2 at 1.3 V in electrolysis mode, along with stable operation for over 380 h. This work provides insights into concurrently enhancing both activity and stability in electrocatalysts for advanced energy conversion technologies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
