Ammonia protonic ceramic fuel cells (NH3-PCFCs) are highly appealing energy conversion technologies due to their high efficiency, environmental responsibility, and benign safety features. Nonetheless, progress in NH3-PCFCs is notably impeded by the restricted performance and insufficient lifespan of standard Ni-cermet anodes for ammonia cracking, especially at 550 °C or below. Herein, we report an efficient ammonia cracking layer with a formula of xCo3O4/100-xBaZr0.8Y0.2O3-δ (Co/BZY) (x=10, 20, 30), which is deposited onto the Ni-BaZr0.1Ce0.7Y0.1Yb0.1O3−δ (BZCYYb) anode to significantly enhance the NH3 decomposition catalytic activity, thereby improving the performance and durability of NH3-PCFCs at low temperatures. The cells with the addition of a 20Co/80BZY anode catalytic layer (ACL) exhibit low area-specific resistance (ASR) and promising operational longevity under NH3 conditions. At 550°C, the NH3-PCFCs with a 20Co/80BZY ACL exhibit a high peak power density of 0.626 W cm−2 and promising operation durability. This study provides important guidance for constructing high-performance and durable NH3-PCFCs. |
