“…If compared to manganite electrode materials, one important disadvantage of perovskite-related ferrites relates to a high chemical expansion, which provides a critical contribution to the apparent TECs due to oxygen losses at elevated temperatures, and may lead to a thermomechanical incompatibility with common solid electrolytes [117,162,176,177]. The layered ferrite phases -particularly the Ruddlesden-Popper series and brownmillerites -display modest stoichiometry changes and better thermomechanical properties compared to the perovskite compounds, although their compatibility with electrolyte ceramics is still limited [133,134,165,167,168,178]. For the membrane reactor materials, the thermomechanical and thermodynamic instabilities typical for undoped ferrite ceramics require extensive compositional modifications, such as the substitution of more than 20-30% iron with other cations (e.g., Ti, Cr, Ga, Al) and/or the fabrication of ferrite-based composites containing dimensionally stable components [4, 7, 8, 17, 102, 114-117, 152, 157, 162-166].…”
