Cathodic polarisation of composite LSCF-SDC IT-SOFC electrode synthesised by one-step microwave self-assisted combustion

Nano-sized composite La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-δ (LSCF)-Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.9 (SDC) powder was synthesised by one-step microwave self-assisted combustion synthesis and characterized by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Electrochemical performance of composite LSCF-SDC cathode in contact...

Descripción
Sumario:Nano-sized composite La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-δ (LSCF)-Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.9 (SDC) powder was synthesised by one-step microwave self-assisted combustion synthesis and characterized by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Electrochemical performance of composite LSCF-SDC cathode in contact with Ce0.8Gd0.2O1.9 (GDC) solid electrolyte under steady state polarisation was studied employing electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in 3-electrode cell configuration. The evolution of elementary steps of oxygen reduction reaction was analysed under cathodic polarisation in potentiostatic mode (up to −0.8 V) in the temperature range 650–750 °C. The composite LSCF-SDC cathode prepared by one-step microwave combustion route demonstrated a lower overall polarisation resistance when compared to literature reports of similar cathodes produced by other synthesis routes
