Abstract
A new cobalt-free perovskite oxide Pr0.5Sr0.5Fe0.8Cu0.2O3−δ (PSFC) has been synthesized and evaluated as cathode material for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs). The chemical compatibility of PSFC with Sm0.2Ce0.8O1.9 (SDC) electrolyte has be proven by XRD, and its electrical conductivity reaches the maximum value of 264.1 S cm−1 at 475 °C. Symmetrical cells with the configuration of PSFC/SDC/PSFC are used for the impedance study and the polarization resistance (Rp) of PSFC cathode is as low as 0.050 Ω cm2 at 700 °C. Single cells, consisting of Ni–YSZ/YSZ/SDC/PSFC structure, are assembled and tested from 550 °C to 800 °C with wet hydrogen (∼3% H2O) as fuel and static air as oxidant. A maximum power density of 1077 mW cm−2 is obtained at 800 °C. All the results suggest that the cobalt-free perovskite oxide PSFC is a very promising cathode material for application in IT-SOFC.
