Abstract

In order to enhance the performances of low–temperature MS–SOFCs (<600 °C), polarization resistances and long–term stabilities of the infiltrated La0.8Sr0.2CoO3-δ (LSC)–scandia stabilized zirconia (SSZ), La0.58Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-δ (LSCF)–SSZ and SmBa0.5Sr0.5Co2.0O5+δ (SBSC)–SSZ cathodes were investigated. MS–SOFCs with SBSC–SSZ cathodes have been fabricated and the electrochemical performance, long–term stability and thermal shock resistance have been evaluated.
