“…Before performing the systematic electrochemical cell characterization, measurements of the cell rig inductance as well as a check on system linearity were carried out to obtain high quality EIS data. 63 To examine cathode degradation, the polarization resistance (R p ) was investigated over time and directly extracted as the difference between the low and high frequency intercepts with the real axis in the EIS Nyquist plots. The formation of surface and bulk oxygen vacancies was investigated with Thermogravimetric Analyses (TGA), performed with a TGA/DSC1 STAR system Mettler Toledo.…”

The two half-cell systems were compared to evaluate the influence of infiltration, overpotential and ageing on their performance and stability. Structure, microstructure and chemical composition were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), whereas redox behavior was evaluated through temperature programmed reduction (TPR) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) in combination with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), which was also used to test the electrochemical performance. A decrease of polarization resistance for both infiltrated electrodes, compared to the reference ones, was highlighted at open circuit voltage (OCV), although the BSCF-based cathode was more benefitted more from infiltration than the LSCF-based one. Moreover, the application of cathodic overpotentials (−0.1 to −0.3 V) resulted in opposite effects on the LSCF-and BSCF-based cathodes, highlighting a different response of the oxygen vacancies to the applied voltage for the two perovskite compositions. The positive effect of the LSM layer was further confirmed by the observed improvement in long-term stability of both infiltrated perovskite-type systems. 1 They exhibit mixed ionic and electronic conductivity, with excellent charge and mass transfer properties 2 and high oxygen exchange surface coefficients. 3 Their excellent activity for oxygen reduction has been proved widely. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Although the structure and electrochemical processes of LSCF and BSCF are quite different, both of them have long-term stability and redox behavior issues to be clarified, in order to be used as cathode materials in commercial devices. Indeed, when used as cathodes in intermediate-temperatures solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs), they suffer from chemical and structural instability, which causes degradation during operation time. Moreover, the correlation between their redox behavior under electrochemical operating conditions is still unclear. Many studies have been devoted to investigating LSCF degradation and several causes have been reported, among them: i) mutual cations diffusion between interfaces with consequent atoms depletion and phase separation, [11][12][13][14][15][16] ii) LSCF grain coarsening, 17 iii) reactivity with YSZ-based electrolytes, even with ceria-based barrier layer, 18 iv) impurity contamination, namely Cr from metal interconnects and B from sealing when the cell is inside a stack.19-21 Some recent work performed on an LSCF/CGO (Ce 0.9 Gd 0.1 O 2-δ ) composite cathode on a YSZ electrolyte with a CGO barrier layer 11 affirms that Sr depletion, phase separation and cations inter-diffusion occur mainly during the fabrication process, with negligible contributions during long-term * Electrochemical Society Member.e Present Address: R&D Manufacturing Support Dept., Ansaldo Energia, Via Nicola Lorenzi 8, I-16152 Genoa. z E-mail: carpanese@unige.it operation (973 K).

ElsevierGiner Sanz, JJ.; Ortega Navarro, EM.; Pérez-Herranz, V. (2015). Total harmonic distortion based method for linearity assessment in electrochemical systems in the context of EIS. Electrochimica Acta. 186:598-612. doi:10.1016Acta. 186:598-612. doi:10. /j.electacta.2015 Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) is a widely used electrochemical measurement technique that has been used in a great spectrum of fields since it allows deconvolving the individual physic-chemical processes that take place in a given system. Ohm's generalized law, and thus the impedance concept, are only valid if 4 conditions are fulfilled: causality, finiteness, stationarity and linearity. In the case that any of these conditions is not achieved, the obtained impedance spectra will present distortions that may lead to biased or even erroneous results and conclusions. For this reason it is crucial to verify if the 4 conditions are fulfilled, before accepting the results extracted from impedance spectra. In this work, a linearity assessment quantitative method based in the total harmonic distortion (THD) parameter is presented and verified experimentally. The experimental validation of the implemented method showed that the implemented method is able to assess quantitatively the linearity of the system. In addition, it is also able to determine the threshold frequency above which the system will not present significant nonlinear effects even for large perturbation amplitudes. It was observed that the THD method is more sensitive to nonlinear effects than the spectra themselves.
