Popis: The present work reports a systematic study on temperature-dependent local crystal structure, oxygen stoichiometry, and electrical/electrochemical properties of an oxygen-deficient Sr0.9Y0.1CoO3−δ (SYC10) perovskite using variable-temperature neutron diffraction (VTND), thermal gravimetric analysis, and electrical/electrochemical methods, respectively. The VTND reveals that the crystal symmetry of SYC10 remains P4/mmm tetragonal up to 900 °C. The tetragonal symmetry reflects the net effects of temperature and oxygen stoichiometry on crystal symmetry. The observed p-type electronic conductivity behavior originates from the charge-ordering between the two distinctive Co-sites. The partial oxide-ion conductivity and diffusivity obtained from oxygen permeation measurements are 2.3 × 10–2 S cm–1 and 7.98 × 10–8 cm2/s at 800 °C in air, respectively. The electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction kinetics of the SYC10 cathode is primarily limited by the charge-transfer process at low temperatures (600–650 °C) and...
