Abstract Composite cathodes contain Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3–δ and La0.6Sr0.4Co0.8Fe0.2O3–δ were tested in different configuration for achieving cathode of area specific resistance lower than Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3–δ and La0.6Sr0.4Co0.8Fe0.2O3–δ cathodes. Electrodes were screen printed on samaria-doped ceria electrolyte half-discs and tested in the three electrode setup by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Microstructure was observed by scanning electron microscopy. The lowest area specific resistance 0.46 and 2.77 Ω cm−2 at 700 °C and 600 °C respectively revealed composite cathode contain Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3–δ and La0.6Sr0.4Co0.8Fe0.2O3–δ in 1:1 weight ratio. The area specific resistance of this cathode is characterized by the lowest activation energy among tested cathodes.

Sm0.5-xBaxSr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δpowders were synthesized by a sol-gel method. The crystal structure and thermal expansion coefficient of Sm0.5-xBaxSr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ(SBSCF,x=0.00, 0.05, 0.10) were investigated. All samples were the perovskite structure with an orthorhombic symmetry and exhibited a similar thermal expansion behavior. The electrochemical properties of SBSCF-SDC composite cathodes were studied using A.C. impedance method. The substitution of Ba2+for Sm3+had a significant effect on the area specific resistance of the composite cathodes. The area specific resistance (ASR) decreased with the increase of Ba2+substitution. This result suggested that the electrochemical performance of Sm0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δbased cathode improved as Sm3+is partially substituted by Ba2+.

In this work, the oxidation behavior of Fe-20wt.%Cr alloys with different titanium contents: 0, 0.5, and 1 wt.% are studied as a function of time in air atmosphere. The samples were isothermally oxidized at 700°C for 24, 48, and 96 h in a box furnace. The area specific resistance of oxides formed at the alloys surface during oxidation is measured by four-point probe methods at 700°C for 24 h. For Ti containing alloys, surface morphology observation by SEM shows that a few of TiO2 particles formed on the top of Cr2O3 scales. Continous TiO2 layer was not formed at the alloys surface after oxidation. XRD analysis on the oxide scales of Fe-20Cr-Ti alloys confirms that Cr2O3 and TiO2 oxide formed on the alloys. Ti addition into the alloys increases the oxidation rates of alloys at the initial stages. Oxidation behavior of Fe-20Cr-0.5Ti and Fe-20Cr-1Ti alloys showed two regimes. The parabolic rate constant, kp (in gr2/cm4s) were 1.57 x 10-13 and 3.08 x 10-13 respectively for initial stage of oxidation then changed to-9 x 10-15 and-3 x 10-14 respectively for the remainder of the test. ASR measurement shows that the presence of Ti in the alloys decreases the electrical resistance up to 60%. Ti addition into Fe-Cr alloys affect the oxide growth rate and increase the conductivity of Cr2O3 scales.
