    Abstract

    Solid oxide electrolysis cell for electrolysis of CO2 to CO was studied with the cell using LaGaO3-based electrolyte at the intermediate temperature (i.e. 973-1 173 K). Various metal additives to Ni were examined for cathode to CO2 reduction and it was fund that Ni added with Fe shows high activity and the current density of 1.5 A/cm2 was achieved at 1.6 V and 1 073 K on Ni-Fe (9:1) cathode. Improved electrolysis activity was explained by the expanded reaction site which may be assigned the fine particle of Ni. Furthermore, effects of additives to Ni cathode were studied and it was found that the electrolysis current could be much improved by addition of Fe to Ni. Effects of oxide ion conductor mixing with Ni-Fe were further studied and it was found that mixing La0.6Sr0.4Fe0.9Mn0.1O3 with Ni-Fe bimetal is the most effective for achieving high electrolysis current of CO2 of 2.07 A/cm2 at 1.6 V and 1 073 K.
