Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) Three Dimensional Ni/YSZ Phase Imaging
X-ray computed tomography (XCT) has been used to image a section of a porous Ni-YSZ SOFC anode. This sample was nondestructively imaged using a high resolution full-field Transmission X-ray Microscope (TXM) microscope. Typical spatial resolution obtained by the XCT measurements is sub-50 nm. Sampling above and below the Ni K-edge, we are able to identify the individual Ni and YSZ phases in a SOFC anode.
Using this information, we can measure the triple phase boundary (TPB) lengths. It is also possible to examine the details of the Ni-electronic and YSZ-ionic conduction pathways, and the pore structure at unprecedented detail.
Figure 1.
Figure 1: 3D imaging of an SOFC anode showing the distinct Ni and YSZ phases: orange-Ni; red-YSZ, black-pore/empty space. The structure was imaged at 38.5 nm resolution. The scale bar indicates 1 micron.
Movie 1. Rendering of the 3-D tomographic reconstruction of the porous Ni-YSZ SOFC anode sample morphology where the coherent source provided x-rays at 8.357 keV, corresponding to 24 eV above the Ni K-absorption edge (8.333 keV). The details of the rendered structure in this movie demonstrate the fidelity of measurement, which was collected at a 38.5 nm spatial resolution. The enhanced absorption of x-ray in regions of the Ni-phase are clearly recognized within the morphology and show up as the brighter features within the structure due to an intensity inversion.
Movie 2. Rendering of the 3-D tomographic reconstruction of the porous Ni-YSZ SOFC anode sample morphology where the coherent source provided x-rays at 8.317 keV, corresponding to 16 eV below the Ni K-absorption edge (8.333 keV). The details of the rendered structure in this movie again demonstrate the fidelity of measurement, which was also collected at a 38.5 nm spatial resolution; however, while the same features are discernable in this movie, the dense regions corresponding to the Ni and YSZ phases cannot be distinguished. The distinct pore and solid-state regions can be recognized in the morphology rendered in this movie, where regions of pore, or void, show up as black. This is again a result of the intensity inversion process.
