The emerging Sr2FeMoO6-based electrocatalysts for solid oxide electrochemical cell: synthesis, modulation and applications

Solid oxide cells (SOCs) are regarded as a promising energy technology due to their large current density, diverse range of fuels, and high energy conversion efficiency. The double perovskite Sr2FeMoO6 (SFM) has attracted considerable attention for SOCs due to its tunable structure with superior performance of high conductivity, excellent thermal stability, and remarkable carbon deposition resistance in a reducing atmosphere. However, the electrocatalytic activity of SFM is considerably lower than that of commercial Ni-based SOC electrodes. A timely summary of the synthesis, modulation, and application of SFM perovskites is of great significance for its further development for SOCs. In this review, the methods employed in the preparation of SFM electrocatalysts are introduced first. Then, the advancements in the application of different SFM-based electrocatalysts in the field of SOCs are reviewed, and the research progress in the in situ exsolution of SFM-based electrocatalysts through ion regulation is assessed. Finally, the future issues associated with SFM-based electrocatalysts are addressed in the realm of electrocatalysis, to advance their application.
