摘要: The degradation of the surface chemistry on perovskite (ABO3) oxides is a critical issue for their performance in energy conversion systems such as solid oxide fuel/electrolysis cells and splitting H2O CO2 to produce fuels. This typically form segregation phase separation dopant cations from A-site, driven by elastic electrostatic minimization kinetic demixing. In this study, deposition Ti at was found hinder corresponding electrochemical promising SOFC cathode material, La0.8Sr0.2CoO3 (LSC). LSC films modified (denoted LSC-T) deposited TiCl4 solution. LSC-T thin were investigated impedance spectroscopy, nano-probe Auger electron X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), upon annealing 420–530 °C air up about 90 hours. oxygen exchange coefficient, kq, cathodes be 8 times higher than that 530 retained its stability. Sr-rich insulating particles formed annealed films, but with significantly less coverage LSC-T. From result, it appears modification reduces blocking surface, larger area (with Sr doping level lattice) available reduction reaction. stabilization through Ti-deposition can open new route designing modifications electrodes high temperature electro- thermo-chemical applications.
