| Popis: | Gadolinia-doped ceria (GDC) is widely used as an interlayer for preventing the formation of SrZrO3 between yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte and lanthanum strontium cobalt iron oxides (LSCF) cathode for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). However, the diffusion of Gd ions to YSZ electrolyte results in the decrease in ionic conductivity due to the formation of Gd2(Zr, Ce)2O7. In the present work, we focus on lanthanum-doped ceria (LDC) as an interlayer between YSZ electrolyte and LSCF cathode. The ionic conductivity of YSZ/LDC composite was higher than that of YSZ/GDC composite in spite of the lower conductivity of LDC than GDC. The maximum power density for the microtubular SOFC with LDC interlayer was better than that with GDC interlayer. While the ohmic resistance decreased by the change from GDC to LDC interlayers, the polarization resistance for oxygen reduction reaction slightly increased as a result of distribution of relaxation times (DRT) analysis. The chemical compositions of Zr, Ce and La was gradually varied at the interface between YSZ electrolyte and LDC interlayer, which affected the both of ohmic and polarization resistances. |
