“…Materials like lanthanum manganite [2], lanthanum cobaltite [3], strontium-doped lanthanum manganite [4], strontium-and cobalt-doped lanthanum ferrite [5,6], and strontium-doped samarium cobaltite [7] have been widely studied as SOFC cathodes as well as for catalysis [8]. In addition, Ba 0:5 Sr 0:5 Co 0:8 Fe 0:2 O 3Àd was reported first in 2000 as an oxygen permeation membrane material [9] by Shao et al, who also reported Ba 0:3 Sr 0:7 Co 0:8 Fe 0:2 O 3Àd to exhibit the highest oxygen permeability in the Ba x Sr 1Àx Co 0:8 Fe 0:2 O 3Àd family [10]. This composition was reported as a possible novel high-performance cathode material with low polarization resistance in the intermediate temperature range 500-700°C [11].…”
