“…[8][9][10][11] The effect of Sr 2+ substitution of Ba 2+ in LnBaCo 2 O 5+d revealed higher electrical conductivity, an increase in oxygen content, excellent area specic resistance (ASR) values and good chemical stability. [12][13][14] In this work, LaBa 0.5 Sr 0.5 Co 2 O 5+d cathode characteristics such as thermogravimetric properties, electrical conductivity, chemical bulk diffusion coefficient (D chem ), oxygen permeation, the exchange current density (i o ) determined via electrochemical impedance spectrometry (EIS), low-eld (LF) and high eld (HF) techniques, and the main process of the ORR were studied, as a potential cathode for IT-SOFC cells. for 4 h. The Ce 0.8 Sm 0.2 O 1.9 (SDC) powder was synthesized via coprecipitation using Ce(NO 3 ) 3 $6H 2 O and Sm(NO 3 ) 3 $6H 2 O as the starting materials.…”
