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.

Electrochemically active oxide-based anodes capable of working in Single-Chamber Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SC-SOFCs) were developed. Their performance is related to the selectivity of the electrodes. Tests are carried out on lab-scale devices with YSZ pellets as solid electrolytes in electrolyte supported cells. Selecting methane as a fuel, a gas mixture in the ratio CH4/O2 = 2 was chosen. The Ni-YSZ (NiO:YSZ=60:40) anode was optimized through CeO2 nanocatalysts infiltration to enhance the anode catalytic activity and make its reduction easier. Several infiltration amounts were compared, from null to 15% of the electrode weight. Both symmetric and complete cells (with LSCF-based cathodes) were tested in H2 and CH4/O2. For increasing amounts of infiltrated CeO2, symmetric cells tests describe an area specific resistance (ASR) reduction from 40 Ω cm2 to 1.7 Ω cm2 in hydrogen and from 11 Ω cm2 to 3.9 Ω cm2 in the methane/oxygen mixture. While complete cells tests displayed an ASR drop from 30 Ω cm2 to 2.9 Ω cm2 in H2, and from 8.7 Ω cm2 to 4.3 Ω cm2 in the methane/oxygen mixture, while OCP and power grew from 478 mV and 3.7 mW cm-2 to 766 mV and 13 mW cm-2.

This study focuses on cathode performances of (Ln1−xSrx)CoO3−δ (Ln=Pr, Nd, Sm, and Gd, x=0, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, and 1) for intermediate temperature-operating solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs, 600–800°C). (Ln1−xSrx)CoO3−δ powders as cathode materials for IT-SOFC, which can be operated between 600°C and 800°C were synthesized by the glycine-nitrate-process (GNP) method. The impedance spectroscopy method was used to investigate area specific resistance (ASR) and electrochemical properties of (Ln1−xSrx)CoO3−δ (Ln=Pr, Nd, Sm, and Gd, x=0, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, and 1). Pr0.5Sr0.5CoO3−δ and Pr0.3Sr0.7CoO3−δ showed to 0.15 Ω cm2 of ASR at 700°C and Nd0.5Sr0.5CoO3−δ to 0.14 Ω cm2 at 700°C. Sm0.5Sr0.5CoO3−δ showed the lowest ASR values of 0.10 Ω cm2 on 10% Gd-doped cerium oxide at 700°C.
