摘要
La0.6Sr0.4Co0.21Fe0.8O3 (LSCF) based thin film cathodes were fabricated by spray pyrolysis and their performance was evaluated with area specific resistance (ASR). With a maximum processing temperature of 650 degrees C, these cathodes are suitable for application in micro-solid oxide fuel cells (mu-SOFC). The similar to 500 nin thick cathodes showed performance similar to traditional thick film LSCF cathodes (10 - 100 mu m). However, by using a new material composition Ba0.25La0.25Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-delta (BLSCF) or by modifying the microstructure, a significant improvement in performance was achieved. Reducing the grain size or introducing a thin dense cathode layer between the porous cathode and the electrolyte were beneficial modifications of the microstructure. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V.
