Highly asymmetric electrolyte hollow fibers composed of a thin dense skin layer and a thick porous substrate are first prepared by a modified phase inversion/sintering technique. The porous substrate is then formed into the anode by deposition of a Ni catalyst via an electroless plating method inside the pores while the thin dense skin layer serves directly as the electrolyte film of the fuel cells. A porous cathode layer is produced on the outer surface of the Ni-deposited hollow fibers by slurry coating and subsequent sintering to form a complete micro tubular fuel cell. The process has been employed to fabricate yttrium stabilized zirconia (YSZ) supported Ni-YSZ-YSZ-La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-(LSCF) microtubular fuel cells. The maximum output of the resulting cells is 159.6 mW cm-2 at 800 °C when using H2 as the fuel feed and air as the oxidant.展开更多

Orthogonal design experiments show the optimum conditions of deoxidizing cupric into Cu+ in the nickel electrolyte are the reductive agent dosage is 4.5 times as the theoretic dosage and reaction time is 0.5 h at 40 ℃ and pH 2.0. Ion exchange experiments show that the breakthrough capacity(Y) decreases with the increase of the linear flow rate(X): Y=1.559-0.194X+ 0.006 7X2. Breakthrough capacity increases with the increase of the ratio of height to radius(RRH). The higher the initial copper concentration, the less the breakthrough capacity(BC). SO42- and nickel concentration have no obvious change during the process of sorption, so it is not necessary to worry about the loss of nickel during the sorption process. Desorption experiments show that copper desorption from the resin is made perfectly with NaCl solution added with 4% (volume fraction) H2O2 (30%) and more than 100 g/L CuCl2 solution is achieved.展开更多
