Abstract
SmBaCo 2O 5+ x (SBCO), an oxide with double-perovskite structure, has been developed as a novel cathode material for intermediate-temperature solid-oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs). The electrical conductivity of an SBCO sample reaches 815–434 S cm −1 in the temperature range 500–800 °C. XRD results show that an SBCO cathode is chemically compatible with the intermediate-temperature electrolyte materials Sm 0.2Ce 0.8O 1.9 (SDC) and La 0.9Sr 0.1Ga 0.8Mg 0.2O 3− δ (LSGM). The polarization resistances of an SBCO cathode on SDC and LSGM electrolytes are 0.098 and 0.054 Ω cm 2 at 750 °C, respectively. The maximum power densities of a single cell with an SBCO cathode on SDC and LSGM electrolytes reach 641 and 777 mW cm −2 at 800 °C, respectively. The results of this study demonstrate that the double-perovskite structure oxide SBCO is a very promising cathode material for use in IT-SOFCs.
