摘要
In order to study the reaction area of the cathode of solid oxide fuel cells, the changes in microstructure of the cathode with a current-flow treatment were investigated. Cathode samples (La0.9Sr0.1MnO3 + 10 mass% ZrO2) with two different microstructures were prepared. Decrease of cathodic polarization by the current flow treatment was observed. The observations of microstructure change of the cathode suggested that the movement of oxygen ion and vacancy took place at boundary between electrolyte and cathode. The reason of decrease of cathodic polarization by current-dow treatment was discussed.
