The changes of the surface morphology and the surface chemistry of LSC thin films grown on different substrates were tracked for 100 hours under SOFC operation conditions. Atomic force microscopy was used to monitor the formation of particles at the LSC surface. Depending on the thin film structure (polycrystalline vs. epitaxial), different particle formation dynamics were observed. Electron microscopy was employed to investigate the chemistry of the segregated particles and revealed that the particles were Srand S-rich. Secondary ion mass spectrometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements were performed on degraded LSC thin films, which also found significant amounts of sulfur on the LSC surface, despite no deliberate addition of sulfur compounds, as well as A-site cation enrichment. Impedance spectroscopy was used to track the polarization resistance of LSC grown on YSZ over the same degradation period and a strong increase inthe polarization resistance and in its activation energy was revealed (1.09 to 1.73 eV). The experimental results indicate that sulfur adsorption on LSC surfaces is omnipresent in the investigated conditions and even trace amounts of sulfur compounds present in nominally pure measurement gases account for particle formation and multiple degradation effects under operating conditions.
