Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) represent a breed of eco-friendly, weather-independent, decentralized power generation technologies, distinguished for their broad fuel versatility and superior electricity generation efficiency. At present, SOFCs are impeded by a lack of highly efficient oxygen reduction catalysts, a factor that significantly constrains their performance. The double perovskites LnBaCo2O5+δ (Ln = Lanthanide), renowned for their accelerated oxygen exchange and conductivity features, are widely acclaimed as a promising category of cathode catalysts for SOFCs. This manuscript offers a novel perspective on the physicochemical attributes of LnBaCo2O5+δ accumulated over the past two decades and delineates the latest advancements in fine-tuning the composition and nanostructure for SOFC applications. It highlights surface chemistry under operational conditions and microstructure as emerging research focal points towards achieving high-performance LnBaCo2O5+δ catalysts. This review offers a comprehensive insight into the latest advancements in utilizing LnBaCo2O5+δ in the field of SOFCs, presenting a clear roadmap for future developmental trajectories. Furthermore, it provides valuable insights for the application of double perovskite materials in domains such as water electrolysis, CO2 electrolysis, chemical sensors, and metal–air batteries.
