In order to accelerate the commercialization of SOFCs technology, the key is the development of high performance cathode materials operated at intermediate temperature. Sr and Cu doped rare earth oxide La1-xSrxFe1-yCu.yO3-δ (x=0.1, 0.3 ; y=0.1, 0.2, denoted as LSFCu-11, LSFCu-31 and LSFCu-32 ) were synthesized by solid state reaction method (SSR). The formation process, phase structure and microstructure of the synthesized samples were characterized using TG/DSC, XRD and SEM. The thermal expansion coefficients (TEC) of the samples were analyzed by thermal dilatometry. The electrical conductivities of the samples were measured with DC four-terminal method from 25 to 950 °C. The results indicate that the samples exhibit a single phase with orthorhombic and hexagonal perovskite structure after sintered at 1200 °C for 4h. The electrical conductivity of the samples increases with temperature up to a maximum value, and then decreases gradually. The small polaron hopping is regarded as the conducting mechanism for synthesized samples at T 550 °C. The negative temperature dependence occurring at higher temperature is due to the creation of oxygen vacancies for charge balance. LSFCu-32 has higher mixed conductivity (> 100 S·cm-1) at intermediate temperature and can meet the demand of cathode material for IT-SOFC. In addition, the average TECs of LSFCu-11, LSFCu-31 and LSFCu-32 are 1.22 × 10-6 K-1 , 1.30 × 10-6 K-1 and 1.34 × 10-6 K-1 respectively.

Based on the density functional theory, we propose a promising cathode material, Na2Fe3(SO4)4, applicable for sodium-ion batteries. The crystal structure, stability, average voltage, and diffusion mechanism are carefully investigated to evaluate the electrochemical properties. The proposed material exhibits a high voltage of 4.0 V during the Na extraction. A small polaron is proved to be formed preferably at the first nearest Fe sites to Na vacancy and simultaneously accompanies the Na vacancy during its migration. Four elementary diffusion processes of the polaron–Na vacancy complexes, namely two parallel and two crossing processes, have been explored. The significant difference of activation energies between parallel and crossing processes suggests the substantial effect of the small polaron migration on the Na vacancy diffusion. We found that the parallel process along the [001] direction has the lowest activation energy of 808 meV, implying that the Na vacancy preferably diffuses in a zigzag pathway along the [001] direction.

The partial substitution of manganese by lithium and cobalt ions in 16d octahedral sites enhances the electrochemical cyclability of LiMn2O4upon cycling. The improvement in cycling performance is mainly attributed to the suppression of the Jahn–Teller distortion in the spinel structure. The as-doped spinel Mn oxide has been successfully used as cathode material in flat and flexible lithium battery.
