High temperature electrochemical oxidation of ethanol over perovskite-type oxides

Abstract

Ethanol oxidation was investigated in a solid electrolyte electrochemical reactor using a perovskite-type oxide La0.6Sr0.2Co0.8Fe0.2O3 as anode. Experiments were conducted between 300-750 degreesC at atmospheric pressure in an ytrria-stabilized-zirconia continuous stirred tank reactor using fuel-rich reactant mixtures.
