The electrochemically active site of mixed ionic and electronic conductor (MIEC) as a cathode material is restricted to the triple phase boundary in protonic ceramic fuel cells (PCFCs) due to the insufficient of proton-conducting properties of MIEC. This study primarily focused on expanding the electrochemically active site by La_0.6Sr_0.4Co_0.2Fe_0.8O_3-δ(LSCF6428)-BaZr_0.4Ce_0.4Y_0.1Yb_0.1O_3-δ (BZCYYb4411) composite cathode. The electrochemical properties of the composite cathode were evaluated using anode-supported PCFC single cells. In comparison to the LSCF6428 cathode, the peak power density of the LSCF6428-BZCYYb4411 composite cathode is much enhanced by the reduction in both ohmic and non-ohmic resistance, possibly due to the increased electrochemically active site.

The decrease of polarization resistance in cathode is the key point for intermediate temperature SOFC(Solid Oxide Fuel Cell). In this study, the Influence of Co substitution in B-site at perovskite PSCM (Pr0.3Sr0.7CoxMn(1-x)) was investigated. The PSCM series exhibits excellent MIEC(Mixed ionic Electronic Conductor) properties. The ASR(Area Specific Resistance) of PSCM3773 was $0.174{\Omega}cm^2\;at\;700^{\circ}C$. The activation energy of PSCM3773 was also lower than other compositions of PSCM. The ASR values were increased gradually during the thermal cycling test of PSCM37773 due to the delamination between electrolyte and cathode materials.

The decrease of polarization resistance in cathode is the key point for operating at intermediate temperature SOFC (solid oxide fuel cell). In this study, the influence of Co substitution in B-site at complex perovskite on the electronic conductivity of PSCM ($Pr_{0.3}Sr_{0.7}Co_xMn_{(1-x)}$) was investigated. The PSCM series exhibits excellent MIEC (mixed ionic electronic conductor) properties. The ASR (area specific resistance) of PSCM3773 was $0.174{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2\;at\;700^{\circ}C$. The activation energy of PSCM3773 was also lower than other compositions of PSCM. The TEC(thermal expansion coefficient) was decreased by addition of Mn. The ASR values were increased gradually during the thermal cycling test of PSCM37773 due to the delamination between electrolyte and cathode materials. The delamination was caused by the difference of TEC.

The influence of Co substitution in B-site at perovskite PSCF($Pr_{0.3}Sr_{0.7}CO_{x}Fe_{(1-x)}O_{3}$) was investigated in this study. The PSCF series exhibits excellent MIEC(mixed ionic electronic conductor) properties. ASR(area specific resistance) of PSCF3737 was 0.137 ${\Omega}{\cdot}cm^{2}$ at $700^{\circ}C$. The activation energy of PSCF3737 was also lower than other compositions of PSCF. ASR of PSCF3737 was analysed as two parts at different part of frequency region. Responses at middle frequency part (${\sim}10^2$ Hz) were concerned with oxygen reduction reaction and those at low frequency part (${\sim}10^{-1}$ Hz) were related with oxygen diffusion.

Perovskite-structured samarium strontium cobaltite (SSC), which is mixed ionic electronic conductor (MIEC), is considered as a promising cathode material for intermediate temperature-operating solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) due to its high electrocatalytic property. Cathode material containing cobalt (Co) is unstable at high temperature and has a relatively high thermal expansion property. In this paper, Sm-Sr-(Co,Fe,Ni)-O system with perovskite and spinel structures was investigated in terms of electrochemical property and thermal expansion property, respectively. Area specific resistance (ASR) was measured by ac impedance spectroscopy to investigate the electrochemical property of cathode, and thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) was measured by using dilatometer. Micro structure of cathode was observed by scanning electron microscopy. Perovskite-structured $Sm_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_{3-\delta}$ showed the ASR of $0.87{\Omega}/cm^{2}$, and $Sm_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}NiO_{3-\delta}$, which actually has a spinel structure, showed the lowest TEC value of $13.3{\times}10^{-6}/K$.

고상 반응법을 통해 $La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}Co_{0.2}Fe_{0.8}O_{3-{\delta}}$ 페롭스카이트계 산소투과 분리막을 제조하였으며, 미세구조에 따른 산소투과 특성 및 기계적 특성을 고찰하였다. 분리막의 미세구조는 소결온도 및 소결 유지시간을 달리함으로써 조절하였으며, 미세구조에 따른 평균 입경 및 상대밀도의 변화를 평가하였다. 입계 분율의 감소에 따라 산소투과유속이 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 본 연구에서 고찰한 소결조건 중에서는 1300${\circ}C$에서 10시간 유지하여 제조한, 상대밀도가 높고 비교적 입경이 조대한 분리막 시편의 경우, 최대 0.37 ml/$cm^2$${\cdot}$min의 산소투과유속이 특정되었다. 파괴강도는 소결체의 상대밀도에 의존적이었으며, 파괴인성은 결정립의 크기에 따라 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다.

IT-SOFC(중저온형 고체산화물 연료전지)의 공기극으로 적합한 PSCF3737의 물질 특성을 파악하고 그 특성을 이용하여 낮은 ASR을 갖기 위한 소결 온도 및 두께 최적화에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 분말 사이즈 및 상형성을 고려할 때 GNP 방법으로 합성된 분말의 하소 온도는 $1000^{\circ}C$가 적합함을 알 수 있었다. 산소 분압에 따른 ASR 변화 실험을 통하여 PSCF3737의 저항 성분을 전극 자체의 특성과 관련된 중간 주파수 대역(${\sim}10^2Hz$)과 산소의 확산에 영향 받는 낮은 주파수 대역(${\sim}10^{-1}Hz$) 2가지로 분류할 수 있었다. 공기극의 특성 실험을 통하여 소결 온도는 $1200^{\circ}C$가 가장 적합하며 공기극의 두께는 2번 스크린 프린팅 된 $27\;{\mu}m$가 가장 적합함을 알 수 있었다. 이를 토대로 EIS 측정을 하면 $700^{\circ}C$에서 $0.115\;{\Omega}cm^2$의 낮은 ASR값을 얻을 수 있었다.
