Protonic Ceramic Fuel Cells (PCFCs) are attracting attention as next-generation fuel cells that are expected to have lower operating temperatures and higher power generation efficiency than SOFCs. We have reported that BaZr_0.8Yb_0.2O_3-δ does not chemically react with NiO used as a fuel electrode at 1475°C, which is the sintering temperature of the cell, and that the fuel cell can be fabricated by the tape casting method and the fuel electrode and electrolyte co-firing method used in industrial production processes for SOFCs and electronic components. This report describes issues that need to be resolved for the practical application of this cell. Fuel cells were fabricated by laminating green sheets prepared by the tape casting method and co-firing the electrolyte and fuel electrode together. For the air electrode, La_0.6Sr_0.4Co_0.2Fe_0.8O_3-δ and La_0.6Sr_0.4CoO_3-δ, which are widely used in SOFCs, and newly developed BaZr_0.375Yb_0.125Co_0.5O_3-δ were sintered at 900°C to 1000°C. The electrochemical performance of the planar cell was investigated at 600°C under the conditions of a humid fuel gas (i.e., 3% H₂O and 97% H₂) and humid air (i.e., 3% H₂O, 20% O₂ and 77% N₂). The active area of the planar cell was 0.785 cm². To evaluate the durability of each cell, continuous power generation tests were conducted at constant current. The durability test was conducted by generating power for 1000 hours at a constant current that resulted in a voltage of 0.85 V at the start of the test, and durability was evaluated by the rate of voltage drop per 1000 hours. As a result, the voltage reduction rate per 1000 hours for the cell using BaZr_0.375Yb_0.125Co_0.5O_3-δ as the air electrode was 7.3%/kh. The results clearly show that one of the most significant issues for practical use is the suppression of the rate of voltage drop. The resistance of the cell before and after the durability test were analyzed by electrochemical impedance method, and the ohmic resistance and electrode resistance increased. EPMA analysis of the cell cross section to investigate the cause of degradation revealed diffusion of Ni from the fuel electrode and Co from the air electrode in the electrolyte. Therefore, in order to further improve durability, there is a need to consider adding an anti-diffusion layer to prevent the diffusion of these elements and developing air electrode materials that do not contain Co.
