Abstract

Oxygen reduction in SOFC cathodes has long been the rate determining step in SOFC operations, mixed ionic-electronic conductors (MIECs) and/or forming composite between cathode and electrolyte materials have been common strategies in order to aid the cathode kinetics. We demonstrate here a viable synthesis route to impregnate mesopores with high loading of platinum towards a mesoscale bicontinuous material that composed of channels of a fast ionic conductor, i.e. gadolinium doped ceria (GDC) intertwined with channels of a good electronic conductor, i.e. Pt. This highly structural composite material holds the promise of a high performing cathode in SOFC.
