Degradation and Performance of SOFC Cathode

The scope of this paper is focused on analyzing the chemical degradation of LSCF cathode induced from many sources by GCI technique both from theoretical and experimental sides. As you know, electrochemical reaction occurring in the SOFC cathode is the reduction of oxygen, therefore cathode materials for SOFC have to posses many properties. It is necessary to evaluate the performance and degradation of SOFC cathode since improvement of long-term stability is one of the major issues during SOFC commercialization process. This research is important toward the commercialization of SOFC because efforts are being made to clarify the mechanisms of cell performance degradation and to improve durability effectively.
