Interconnect-cathode interfacial adhesion is important for the durability of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). Thus, the use of a conductive contact layer between interconnect and cathode could reduce the cell area specific resistance (ASR). The use of La 0.6 Sr 0.4 FeO 3 (LSF) cathode, LaNi 0.6 Fe 0.4 O 3-d (LNF) contact layer and Crofer22APU interconnect was proposed as an alternative cathode side. LNF-LSF powder mixtures were heated at 800°C for 1,000 h and at 1,050°C for 2 h and analyzed by X-Ray power diffraction (XRD). The results indicated a low reactivity between the materials. The degradation occurring between the components of the half-cell (LSF/ LNF/Crofer22APU) was studied. XRD results indicated the formation of secondary phases, mainly: SrCrO 4 , A(B, Cr)O 3 (A = La, Sr; B = Ni, Fe) and SrFe 12 O 19 . Scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) and the X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyzes confirmed the interaction between LSF/LNF and the metallic interconnect due to the Cr vaporization/migration. An increment of the resistance of~0.007 Ω cm 2 in 1,000 h is observed for (LSF/LNF/Crofer22APU) sample. However, the ASR values of the cell without contact coating, (LSF/Crofer22APU), were higher (0.31(1) Ω cm 2 ) than those of the system with LNF coated interconnect (0.054(7) Ω cm 2 ), which makes the proposed materials combination interesting for SOFC.
