Abstract
- The electrochemical performance of the layered perovskite YSr 2 Cu 3− x Co x O 7+ δ , a potential solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) cathode, is improved by increasing the Co content from x = 1.00 to a maximum of x = 1.30. Single phase samples with x > 1.00 are obtained by tuning the Y/Sr ratio, yielding the composition Y 1− y Sr 2+ y Cu 3− x Co x O 7+ δ (where y ≤ 0.05). The high temperature structure of Y 0.95 Sr 2.05 Cu 1.7 Co 1.3 O 7+ δ at 740 °C is characterised by powder neutron diffraction and the potential of this Co-enriched material as a SOFC cathode is investigated by combining AC impedance spectroscopy, four-probe DC conductivity and powder XRD measurements to determine its electrochemical properties along with its thermal stability and compatibility with a range of commercially available electrolytes. The material is shown to be compatible with doped ceria electrolytes at 900 °C.
