Abstract
Nanostructured La1-aSraCo1-bFebO3-x (a=0.3-0.5; b=0-0.2) and
Ce0.8Sm0.2O2 powders were successfully prepared by citrate-nitrate
auto-combustion synthesis and were characterized by scanning
electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis.
Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy measurements on
symmetric cells were performed to evaluate the applicability of
La1-aSraCo1-bFebO3-x as a cathode material for Single Chamber
Solid Oxide Fuel Cells. Our results demonstrated that strontium
has a positive effect while iron shows a slightly negative effect on
the interfacial resistance. The effect of the electrode sintering
temperature was investigated by varying the temperature from
850 °C to 1250 °C and the best sintering temperature was found to
be 900 °C. The best characteristics as cathode around the operating
temperature of Single Chamber Fuel Cells were found for the
composition with a=0.4 and the minimum iron doping; at 700°C,
an Area Specific Resistance of 0.13 Ω·cm2 was measured.
