The mass and charge transport properties of La 0.8 Ca 0.2 FeO 3-δ (LCF82) were determined at 600-800 • C and pO 2 = 0.1 bar. The electronic conductivity is in the range of 112 S cm −1 at 700 • C. The chemical surface exchange coefficient (k chem ) and the chemical diffusion coefficient of oxygen (D chem ) were measured. LCF82 shows exceptionally fast oxygen exchange kinetics in pure O 2 -Ar at 700 • C. Long-term measurements at 700 • C in pure O 2 -Ar showed an excellent stability of the kinetic parameters during 1000 h. However, when 2 ppm of sulfur dioxide were added, k chem decreased by a factor of 40 within the first 24 h. After further 1000 h, the total decrease in k chem amounted to two orders of magnitude. Post-test analyses of LCF82 were performed by SEM-EDXS, XPS, and STEM. Ca-enrichment and La-/Fe-depletion of the LCF82 surface occurred during the first 1000 h without SO 2 . At the surface of the sample exposed to 2 ppm SO 2 for additional 1000 h, CaSO 4 crystals with diameters of 1-2 μm and an underlying layer of Fe 2 O 3 (thickness approx. 300-450 nm) were found. Remarkably, LCF82 shows faster oxygen exchange kinetics than La 0.6 Sr 0.4 CoO 3-δ even in the degraded state. Therefore, LCF82 is suggested as a promising material for SOFC and SOEC air electrodes.
