Silver-Ba 0.5 Sr 0.5 Co 0.8 Fe 0.2 O 3-δ (BSCF) cathodes were prepared in two ways. In the first method, Ag-BSCF composite powder was prepared in ethanol solution, where Ag nanoparticles serving as a component in the preparation of Ag-BSCF composite cathodes had been previously obtained via one-step synthesis in absolute ethanol using a neutral polymer (polyvinylpyrrolidone). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to use a Ag sol obtained by the above method for preparation of Ag-BSCF composite powder. Then, a paste containing this powder was screen-printed on a Sm 0.2 Ce 0.8 O 1.9 electrolyte and sintered at 1,000°C. In the second technique, an aqueous solution of AgNO 3 was added to a previously sintered BSCF cathode, which was then sintered again at 800°C. The oxygen reduction reaction at the quasi-point BSCF cathode on the Sm 0.2 Ce 0.8 O 1.9 electrolyte was tested by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy at different oxygen concentrations in three electrode setup. The continuous decrease of polarization resistance was observed under polarization −0.5 V at 600°C. The comparative studies of both obtained composite Ag-BSCF materials were performed in hydrogen-oxygen IT-SOFC involving samariadoped ceria as an electrolyte and Ni-Gd 0.2 Ce 0.8 O 1.9 anode. In both cases, the addition of silver to the cathode caused an increase in current and power density compared with an IT-SOFC built with the same components but involving a monophase BSFC cathode material.

“…ions and oxygen vacancies will also get increased which lead to higher conductivity in the samples. Patra et al [35] have [19,22]. Thus, oxygen vacancies play prominent role in the present system and are responsible for ionic conduction.…”

Bi 1-x Ca x FeO 3-y (0.40 B x B 0.55) perovskite oxides have been synthesized by solid-state reaction method to study their properties as a cathode material for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells. The as prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analyzer/thermogravimetry, dilatometer, and impedance spectroscopy to study their structural, thermal, and electrical properties. The Rietveld refinement results confirmed that all the samples exhibit tetragonal structure with P4mm space group. In addition to this, sample x = 0.55 exhibits Ca 2 Fe 2 O 5 as a secondary phase. It has been observed that lattice parameters decrease with increase in calcium content. The thermal expansion coefficient and ionic conductivity increases with increase in calcium content up to x = 0.50. The highest ionic conductivity is observed for Bi 0.5 Ca 0.5 FeO 3-y i.e. 1.71 9 10 -2 S cm -1 .
