摘要: Abstract The modification of surface composition after long-term operation is one the most reported degradation mechanisms (La,Sr)(Co,Fe)O3-δ (LSCFO) cathodes for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs). Nevertheless, its effect on oxygen reduction reaction kinetics porous LSCFO has not been yet reliably established. In this work, La- and Sr-enrichment at induced 50 h aging 800 °C under air. Such cation redistribution can extend up to ∼400 nm depth as detected by high resolution Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy maps acquired inside cathode pores. observed chemical changes hamper exchange LSCFO/gas interface. Accordingly, a suitable Electrochemical Impedance analysis revealed that ion conductivity remains practically unaltered during treatment while resistance increases 1.8 times. As result, impedance response deteriorates within 10–0.1 Hz frequency range treatment, resulting in total area specific increase 150%. methodology adopted demonstrated be very valuable studying SOFC produced composition.
