Abstract

A series of A-site deficient Gd-containing Fe-Co-based cathodes were synthesized using the glycine-nitrate process. All the compounds consisted of two phases, i.e., a cubic and orthorhombic phase, as determined by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). The thermal expansion coefficient decreased with increasing A-site deficiency, which could be because cobalt was expelled from the main phases. Likewise, the electrochemical activities of the Gd-containing Fe-Co-based solid oxide fuel cell cathodes toward the reduction of oxygen ware improved by a factor of approximately 3 by making them A-site deficient. The composition (Gd0.6Sr0.4)0.85Fe0.8Co0.2O3–δ showed the highest activity toward the reduction of oxygen among the five compounds. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy estimated the area specific resistance as 5.77 Ω cm2 at 600 °C. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements revealed three arcs for most of the compounds at the three temperatures where the measurements were performed.
