Abstract
Abstract In this paper, the Ce 1– x Sm x O 2– x /2 ( x = 0.025, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2) samples were synthesized and then mixed with GdBaCo 2 O 5+δ (GBCO) to form GBCO–Ce 1– x Sm x O 2– x /2 composite cathodes. The electrochemical performance of the composite cathodes was investigated by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) as a function of temperature and oxygen partial pressure. The impedance spectra results demonstrated that the introduction of proper Ce 1– x Sm x O 2– x /2 phase remarkably enhanced the electrochemical performance of GBCO cathode and caused a reduction in the total polarization resistance ( R p). Furthermore, as the amount of Ce 1– x Sm x O 2– x /2 in composite cathode was fixed, the variation of Sm content in Ce 1– x Sm x O 2– x /2 also had a significant influence on the electrochemical performance of the GBCO–Ce 1– x Sm x O 2– x /2 cathodes. For example, the R p of GBCO cathodes containing 10 wt.% Ce 1– x Sm x O 2– x /2 considerably reduced from 0.37 to 0.17 Ω cm 2 at 600 °C with the decreasing Sm content x from 0.2 to 0.025. The improvement in performance of the GBCO–Ce 1– x Sm x O 2– x /2 cathodes compared to pure GBCO cathode could be mainly attributed to the catalytic activity of Ce 1– x Sm x O 2– x /2 towards the surface diffusion related processes, which was an elementary step in oxygen reduction reaction at cathode.
