Cathodic material La 1.0 Sr 1.0 FeO 4+δ for an intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell (IT-SOFC) was prepared via the glycine-nitrate process and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD results showed that no reaction occurred between the La 1.0 Sr 1.0 FeO 4+δ electrode and Sm 0.2 Ce 0.8 O 1.9 (SDC) electrolyte at 1000°C. SEM results showed that the electrode formed good contact with the SDC electrolyte after sintering at 1000°C for 2 h. The electrochemical properties of La 1.0 Sr 1.0 FeO 4+δ were measured using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and steady state polarization measurement. At 700°C, the polarization resistance was about 3.90 Ωcm 2 , and the lowest polarization overpotential was 57 mV at a current density of 55 mA cm −2 .
