“…Recently, several studies were carried out by different groups to elucidate its importance and to address the dependence of the oxygen permeation on the microstructure (Diethelm et al, 2005;Zhang et al, 1999;Etchegoyen et al, 2006;Kim et al, 2000;Kharton et al, 2000;Kharton et al, 2001;Kharton et al, 2002;Arnold et al, 2008;Zeng et al, 2007;Shaula et al, 2005). Different perovskite systems were studied in many of these reports; however, no clear trend was visible relative to whether the transport along grain boundaries displays a barrier, or acts as a pathway for fast oxygen transport.…”
