Abstract
Electrochemical devices based on proton-conducting oxides offer a significant potential for implementation in a variety of high-temperature electrochemical applications. It is a well-known fact that electrochemical devices require active electrodes to function optimally. Over the last few years, Sr2Fe1.5Mo0.5O6-δ has received much attention as an effective redox-robust electrode for oxygen conducting electrolytes. This study presents, for the first time, the results of investigations on a double-layered composite electrode based on Sr2Fe1.5Mo0.5O6-δ in contact with a barium-free proton-conducting electrolyte La0.9Sr0.1ScO3-δ. It was found that the investigated electrode exhibits low polarization resistance about 0.15 and 0.22 Ohm cm2 in wet air and wet hydrogen at 600 °C, respectively. In addition, the electrode exhibits acceptable redox stability and CO2 tolerance. Also, the results of electrochemical impedance spectra analysis and a discussion on the parallel pathways of hydrogen oxidation and oxygen reduction reactions and the nature of rate-determining steps are presented in the manuscript. The obtained results show the high prospects for a Sr2Fe1.5Mo0.5O6-δ - based composite electrode for protonic ceramic electrochemical cells.
