摘要: The randomly distributed dopant effects in nanocrystalline samaria-doped ceria (SDC) interlayers were investigated by systematically varying the distributions and grain-boundary densities via post-annealing process. Electrochemical analysis demonstrates that films having lower annealing or fabrication temperatures exhibit superior surface oxygen kinetics, particularly case of reduction reactions (ORRs). Further investigation through TEM-EELS shows typical segregation dopants is not significantly present SDC film deposited RF sputtering method, while post-annealed strong accumulation near grain boundary. results indicate dopants, addition to nano grains, may further enhance providing more preferential reaction sites due a higher content defects at interface.
