Abstract
In this work thin film SOFC anode MIEC La0.31Sr0.58Ti0.97Ni0.03O3-δ (LSTN) electrodes with embedded 200 nm thick Pt current collectrors (CC-s) and electrodes without CC-s deposited on 10Sc1CeSZ electrolyte were studied in 650 °C in 98.5% H2 and 1.5 % H2O at ambient pressure. Additionally Pt-10Sc1CeSZ electrodes were characterized to determine CC-s own electrochemical activity. It was found that the embedded Pt was the most active part of an LSTN electrode with Pt CC despite the common presumption that covering Pt current collector with dense MIEC layer makes it inactive. Diffusion of H2 through both LSTN and Pt layers and reaction on the Pt-10Sc1CeSZ interface is proposed. Formation of bubbles under embedded Pt in hydrogen atmosphere was seen and is explained with formation of trapped H2O.
