(La{sub 1-x}Sr{sub x}){sub y}Fe{sub 1-z}Ni{sub z}O{sub 3-{delta}} perovskites have been proposed as alternative cathode materials. In this communication the electrochemical characterisation of (La{sub 0.8}Sr{sub 0.2}){sub 0.95}Fe{sub 0.8}Ni{sub 0.2}O{sub 3-{delta}} tested on symmetrical cells are compared to full cell tests. Significant differences between the test procedures are observed. Area specific resistances below 0.5 {omega} cm{sup 2} at 800 C indicate a potential of LSFN for SOFC applications. However, the initial performance and long-term stability are found to be inferior to state-of-art La-Sr Co-Fe perovskite cathodes. (Abstract Copyright [2009], Wiley Periodicals, Inc.)
