The microstructure, lattice parameters, electrical conductivity, thermal expansion, and mechanical properties of (La0.8Ca0.2)(Cr0.9–xCo0.1Nix)O3–δ (x = 0.03, 0.06, 0.09, 0.12) were systematically investigated in this work. Nickel doping of (La0.8Ca0.2)(Cr0.9Co0.1)O3–δ is an effective way of increasing the thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) and stabilizing the high-temperature phase transformation from rhombohedral to tetragonal. As the nickel-doped content increases, the TEC increases parabolically by TEC (x) (ppm/°C) = 10.575 + 63.3x−240x2 (x = 0.03−0.12). The electrical conductivity of (La0.8Ca0.2)(Cr0.9–xCo0.1Nix)O3–δ specimens increases systematically with increasing nickel substitution in the range of 0.03 ≤ x ≤ 0.09 and reaches a maximum for the composition of (La0.8Ca0.2)(Cr0.81Co0.1Ni0.09)O3–δ (σ850 °C ∼60.36 S/cm). There is a slight increase in the fracture toughness with increasing nickel doping content, and the fracture toughness is strongly affected by the grain size. It seems that there is an increase in the fracture toughness with decreasing grain size. However, the microhardness does not significantly depend on the grain size in this study. The (La0.8Ca0.2)(Cr0.81Co0.1Ni0.09)O3–δ specimen shows high electrical conductivity, a moderate thermal expansion coefficient, and nearly linear thermal expansion behavior from room temperature to 800 °C. It will be suitable for interconnect materials for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs).

The single-phase oxide PrBaCo2O6−δ and composites (100 − y)PrBaCo2O6−δ-yCe0.8Sm0.2O1.9 (y = 10–30 wt.%) were investigated as cathode materials for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells. The chemical compatibility, cation interdiffusion, thermal expansion and dc conductivity were studied. As a result, strong interdiffusion of Pr and Sm was found between PrBaCo2O6−δ and Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.9. This leads to only insignificantly decreasing thermal expansion coefficient of composite with increasing fraction of Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.9 and, thus, mixing PrBaCo2O6−δ with Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.9 does not improve thermal expansion behavior of the cathode material. Moreover, formation of poorly-conducting BaCeO3, caused by chemical interaction between the double perovskite and doped ceria, was shown to lead to pronounced drop in the electrical conductivity of the composite cathode material with increasing Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.9 content.

SmBaCo2O5+δ (SBC) was studied as cathode material for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs). The crystal structure, thermal expansion behavior, and electrochemical performance with long-term operation of SBC were characterized. An orthorhombic layered perovskite structure was observed in SBC cathode by a GSAS program for refinement. The average thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) is 21.6 x 10-6K-1 in the temperature range of 100oC-800oC. For long-term testing, the polarization resistance of SBC cathode increases gradually from 25.77 Ω cm2 for 2 h to 38.77 Ω cm2 for 96 h at 600°C, and an increasing-rate for polarization resistance is around 13,8% h-1. Based on the electrochemical properties, SBC cathode with mixed ionic and electronic conductor (MIEC) behavior is a potential cathode for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells based on a SDC electrolyte.
