초록

페롭스카이트 $La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}Co_{1-x}Fe_xO_3$(x=0.00, 0.01, 0.10, 0.20, 0.35, 및 0.50)를 산소전극물질로 사용하여 알칼리형 연료전지에서의 산소환원반응을 연구하였다. Fe치환에 따른 촉매특성의 변화를 X-선회절분석법(XRD), 열중량분석법(TG) 및 승온환원법(TPR)을 통하여 조사하였다. XRD 구조분석을 통하여 페롭스카이트 단위격자의 격자상수값을 측정할 수 있었다. TG 실험결과 Fe는 페롭스카이트 구조내에서 크게 안정화되어 $900^{\circ}C$까지 거의 환원되지 않았고, Fe치환량 증가에 따라 Co-O간의 결합에너지가 증가하여 고온에서 제거되는 산소종의 양이 증가하였다. TPR 실험결과, ${\alpha}$-(저온피크)와 ${\beta}$-(고온피크)산소종이 존재하였다. ${\beta}$-산소종은 Co와 강하게 결합되어 있는 산소종으로서 Fe치환량 증가에 따라 결합세기가 증가하였다. ${\alpha}$-산소종은 가역적으로 격자내외를 출입하는 산소환원반응의 활성종이었으며, Fe치환량 증가에 따른 격자상수의 증가는 금속과 ${\alpha}$-산소종간의 결합에너지로 볼 수 있는 ${\alpha}$산소종의 환원피크를 저온으로 이동시킴으로써 산소환원반응의 활성을 증가시켰다. 반면에, Fe치환량 증가에 따른 ${\alpha}$-산소종의 감소는 산소환원반응의 활성을 감소시켰으며, Fe치환에 따른 표면적의 증가는 반응활성에 크게 영향을 미치지 못하였다.

Oxygen reduction in an alkaline fuel cell was studied by using perovskite of $La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}Co_{1-x}Fe_xO_3$(x=0.00, 0.01, 0.10, 0.20, 0.35, and 0.50) as an oxygen electrode catalyst. The changes in the catalytic properties as a function of Fe content were investigated by XRD, TG, and TPR. XRD patterns gave different lattice parameters of the catalysts. TG study revealed that Fe was so stabilized in the perovskite structure as to be hardly reduced even up to $900^{\circ}C$, and the amount of oxygen which was eliminated at high temperature increased with the fraction of Fe because Fe induced the increase of Co-O binding energy. From TPR study, ${\alpha}$-(low temperature peak) and ${\beta}$-(high temperature peak)states were observed. The bond strength of the ${\beta}$-species which was associated strongly with Co of the perovskite increased proportionally with the fraction of Fe. The ${\alpha}$-species, reversible oxygen, was the active species in the oxygen reduction. The ${\alpha}$-peak temperature which reflected the binding energy between Co and ${\alpha}$-state oxygen moved to lower temperature with the increase of lattice parameter of the catalytst due to the increase of Fe content. The decrease in the binding energy increased the activity in the oxygen reduction, but the decrease of ${\alpha}$-species with the increase of Fe content decreased the activity. The increase in the surface area with Fe content had little effect on the activity.
