摘要: La0.6Sr0.4CoO3−δ thin films of varying thicknesses (20–170 nm) were prepared by pulsed laser deposition on yttria-stabilized zirconia (100) substrates, and their electrochemical electrode performance was correlated with the chemical surface composition microstructure (e.g. porosity, area). The cation analyzed an atomic etching procedure on-line inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry detection. sensitivity method increased dynamically switching reagent during analysis quantitative results for even top layer obtained. A water-soluble Sr-rich species could be quantified LSC in combination impedance spectroscopy improved understanding exchange resistance Microstructural features such as effective porosity became accessible a these methods.
