摘要
Electrochemical properties of Co-doped Sr0.8Ce0.2MnO3-delta cathode were investigated at the cathode/Sm0.2Ce0.8O1.9 electrolyte interface. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was measured under applied cathodic voltages (E = -0.4 to 0V). At E = OV, the area-specific resistance decreased from 2.20 Omega cm(2) to 0.19 Omega cm(2) at 700 degrees C with Co doping. Under the cathodic polarization, the rate determining step of oxygen reduction process was different for both cathodes: the charge transfer for Sr0.8Ce0.2MnO3-delta and the diffusion process for Sr0.8Ce0.2Mn0.8Co0.2O3-delta. Besides, the overpotential also decreased from 124 mV to 19 mV at the current density of 0.1 A cm(-2) at 800 degrees C with Co doping. The improved electrochemical properties of Co-doped Sr0.8Ce0.2MnO3-delta can be ascribed to the formation of more oxygen vacancies and more active sites for oxygen reduction reaction.
