Popis: In this paper, Ba 0.5 Sr 0.5 Co 0.8 Fe 0.2 O 3−δ (BSCF) oxide was prepared, using a solid state reaction method. Crystal structure and electrochemical conductivity of this composition were studied by x-ray diffraction and four-point probe method, respectively. The x-ray pattern shows cubic structure. The resistivity was measured from room temperature up to 450 °C in air. At this condition, resistivity was dropped 99 percent of its original value. In the investigation of the electrochemical properties, D chem , chemical diffusion coefficient and E a , activation energy for hopping of small polarons were calculated by equation Arrhenius. As our results show increasing the temperature leads to higher values of D chem . Log ( D chem ) and inverse temperature were related by a negative slope.
