Cobalt-free perovskite Pr0.5Sr0.5Fe1 xCuxO3 d(PSFC) as a cathodematerial for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells
SFC (Pr0.5Sr0.5Fe1 xCuxO3 d) is a new perovskite-type oxide that has gained considerable attention ascathode material for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs), due to its high mixedionic-electronic conductivity below 800 C. In this work, PSFC (Pr0.5Sr0.5Fe1 xCuxO3 d,x¼0.2 and 0...

| Resumo: | SFC (Pr0.5Sr0.5Fe1 xCuxO3 d) is a new perovskite-type oxide that has gained considerable attention ascathode material for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs), due to its high mixedionic-electronic conductivity below 800 C. In this work, PSFC (Pr0.5Sr0.5Fe1 xCuxO3 d,x¼0.2 and 0.4)powders were synthesized by the citrate method and structurally characterized by X-ray diffractometry.Screen-printed cathodes were sintered at 1050 C and electrochemically characterized by impedancespectroscopy at 600e800 C in pure oxygen. The area specific resistances (ASR) of thePr0.5Sr0.5Fe0.8Cu0.2O3 dmaterial are shown to be competitive with typical values reported for cobalt-based cathodes in the measured temperature range, while, importantly, offering a significantly loweractivation energy, 0.62 eV. The thermal expansion coefficients of these Co-free cathodes are in the rangeof 13e15 10 6 C 1, in a temperature range 200e650 C, demonstrating a good thermal compatibilitywith gadolinia doped ceria (CGO) electrolytes |
