Surface Chemistry and Phase Evolution in Dense Sr- or Ca-Doped LaCoO3 Ceramics and Their Correlation to Surface Exchange and Chemical Diffusion Coefficients
Abstract:It is now established in porous (La,Sr)CoO3 (LSC) solid
oxide cell electrodes that Sr2+ dopant, employed mainly
to generate oxygen vacancies, tends to form an insulating SrO/SrCO3/Sr(OH)2 phase at the electrode surface, diminishing
its oxygen exchange ability. Replacing Sr2+ with Ca2+ (switching from LSC to LCC) is likely a viable approach
to the mitigation of surface segregation due to the closer match of
cation radius of the latter to that of La3+. In order to
determine the effect of dopant replacement on … Show more
