Abstract

Porous strontium doped lanthanum manganite (LSM)-yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) composite has been made by an impregnation method as oxygen electrodes for solid oxide electrolysis cells. X-ray diffraction and SEM results showed that LSM powders with well-crystallized perovskite phase uniformly distributed in the porous YSZ matrix. Impedance spectra and voltage-current density curves were measured as a function of absolute humidity at different temperatures to characterize the cell performance. The LSM infiltrated cell has an area specific resistance (ASR) of 0.20 Ω cm 2 at 900 °C at open circuit voltage with 50% absolute humidity (AH), which is relatively lower than that of the cell with LSM-YSZ oxygen electrode made by a conventionally mixing method. Electrolysis cell with LSM infiltrated oxygen electrode has demonstrated stable performance under electrolysis operation with 0.33 A/cm 2 and 50 vol.% AH at 800 °C.
