Abstract

Multilayered cathodes for solid oxide fuel cells are presented. The cathodes are composed of strontium doped lanthanum manganate and yttria stabilised zirconia, the ratio of which is increased with increasing distance from a supporting zirconia electrolyte. Some cathodes additionally carry a number of layers with a graded transition from manganite to cobaltite to add an electronically highly efficient current collector. The cathodes were prepared by spray painting and low temperature sintering. Electrochemical measurements revealed a performance up to 0.2 Ω cm 2 at 750°C for the first generation of these cathodes. The electrochemical performance was found to be influenced further by the microstructure at the interface close to the solid electrolyte and the quality of electrical contact thorough the sintered electrode.
