Recent investigations have revealed that the Ruddlesden–Popper series ( A n+1 B n O 3n+1) and the layered perovskite Ln BaCo 2 O 5+δ (Ln = rare-earth cations) are promising as cathodes for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells. For these to be economical the oxygen diffusion must be maximized. Based on atomistic simulations, we propose strategies for optimizing oxygen diffusion in these materials by modifying the oxygen stoichiometry, the composition and cation disorder. The present investigation is focused on La 2 CoO 4+δ and GdBaCo 2 O 5+δ and the results are discussed in view of recent experimental and theoretical studies.

Oxygen diffusion was measured at oxygen/cathode/electrolyte interfaces and at oxide scales/alloy interconnects in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs). A stable isotope oxygen exchange technique (16O/18O exchange) was adopted to label the diffusion profiles in the oxides, and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) depth profiles were examined to determine the diffusion coefficients in the oxide ceramic materials. Diffusivity of oxygen in LaMnO3 cathode was measured under polarized condition (that is, considering the electrochemical process and diffusion). Also, oxygen diffusion in the oxide scales formed on the alloy was measured to clarify the formation mechanism of oxide scale.

ABSTRACTMembers of the Ruddlesden-Popper system, La2Ni(1-x)CoxO4+δ (0.00 ≤ × ≤ 1.00), were synthesized and studied for their potential use as cathodes for solid-oxide fuel cells. An unusual structural trend has been noted across the series, which appears to correlate with the oxygen-hyperstoichiometry observed. Details of the structural variance by x-ray and neutron diffraction, as well as selected physical properties for this system will be presented.
