The microstructure, lattice parameters, electrical conductivity, thermal expansion, and mechanical properties of (La0.8Ca0.2)(Cr0.9–xCo0.1Nix)O3–δ (x = 0.03, 0.06, 0.09, 0.12) were systematically investigated in this work. Nickel doping of (La0.8Ca0.2)(Cr0.9Co0.1)O3–δ is an effective way of increasing the thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) and stabilizing the high-temperature phase transformation from rhombohedral to tetragonal. As the nickel-doped content increases, the TEC increases parabolically by TEC (x) (ppm/°C) = 10.575 + 63.3x−240x2 (x = 0.03−0.12). The electrical conductivity of (La0.8Ca0.2)(Cr0.9–xCo0.1Nix)O3–δ specimens increases systematically with increasing nickel substitution in the range of 0.03 ≤ x ≤ 0.09 and reaches a maximum for the composition of (La0.8Ca0.2)(Cr0.81Co0.1Ni0.09)O3–δ (σ850 °C ∼60.36 S/cm). There is a slight increase in the fracture toughness with increasing nickel doping content, and the fracture toughness is strongly affected by the grain size. It seems that there is an increase in the fracture toughness with decreasing grain size. However, the microhardness does not significantly depend on the grain size in this study. The (La0.8Ca0.2)(Cr0.81Co0.1Ni0.09)O3–δ specimen shows high electrical conductivity, a moderate thermal expansion coefficient, and nearly linear thermal expansion behavior from room temperature to 800 °C. It will be suitable for interconnect materials for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs).

Fe-based perovskite oxides SrFe1-xSbxO3-δ (SFS, x = 0.05–0.15) have been prepared by a solid-state reaction and studied as novel cathode materials for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs). As SOFC cathodes, the highest electrical conductivity of 100 S cm−1 at 425 oC in air was obtained for the x = 0.05 sample. The area-specific resistances of the SFS ( x = 0.05) cathode on the LSGM electrolyte where at 700 oC is 0.17 Ω cm2. All these results demonstrates that Sb-substituted SFS perovskites materials are promising cheaper alternative cathodes for an IT-SOFC.
