Abstract

The electrocatalytic behavior of the mixed electron - ion conductor SrCo0.8Fe0.2O3-δ, in the form of an electrode on YSZ, has been studied using impedance spectroscopy at low frequencies. The results suggest that the electrode process is dominated by the surface exchange at high temperatures and by the bulk oxygen diffusion at lower temperatures. No limiting current was observed in I-V measurements. The electrode polarization decreased with increasing current density. The creation of additonal oxygen vacancies in the electrode material is suggested to account for the better performance at the higher current densities.
