Aligned with an ever growing interest to reduce the operating temperature of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), the A-site ordered LnBaCo2O5+δ layered perovskite family has been actively investigated as cathodes during the last decade. This review aims to provide the recent progress in the LnBaCo2O5+δ family with regard to crystal structure, chemical composition, properties, performances, and chemical stability.

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.

Reducing the operating temperature of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) to 300–600 °C is a great challenge for the development of SOFC. Among the extensive research and development (R&D) efforts that have been done on lowering the operating temperature of SOFCs, nanomaterials have played a critical role in improving ion transportation in electrolytes and facilitating electrochemical catalyzation of the electrodes. This work reviews recent progress in lowering the temperature of SOFCs by using semiconductor-ionic conductor nanomaterial, which is typically a composition of semiconductor and ionic conductor, as a membrane. The historical development, as well as the working mechanism of semiconductor-ionic membrane fuel cell (SIMFC), is discussed. Besides, the development in the application of nanostructured pure ionic conductors, semiconductors, and nanocomposites of semiconductors and ionic conductors as the membrane is highlighted. The method of using nano-structured semiconductor-ionic conductors as a membrane has been proved to successfully exhibit a significant enhancement in the ionic conductivity and power density of SOFCs at low temperatures and provides a new way to develop low-temperature SOFCs.
