Abstract

LSCGO (La0.5Sr0.5Co0.2Ga0.2O3−δ) was selected and synthesized as a cathode material for gallate-based solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). In the present paper, the electrode polarization behavior of LSCGO was studied under various pO2 and temperature conditions by a two-probe ac impedance method. A symmetric electrochemical cell: pO2, LSCGOILSGMOILSCGO, pO2, where the composition of the electrolyte LSGMO is La0.8Sr0.2Ga0.85Mg0.15O3−δ, was used in the study. Below 600°C, only semicircles due to bulk and grain boundary contributions were observed. In temperature range 700-800°C, however, a depressed and asymmetric semicircle was found in the low frequency regime (1 mHz to 1000 Hz). This low frequency feature in the impedance spectra is attributed to the electrode polarization process and can be fitted to the well-known Gerischer impedance equation. The resulting fitting parameters are used to derive surface exchange and bulk diffusion coefficients.
