Abstract

Recent investigations have revealed that the Ruddlesden-Popper series (An+1BnO3n+1) and the layered perovskite LnBaCo2O5+s (Ln = rare-earth cations) are promising as cathodes for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells. For these to be economical the oxygen diffusion must be maximized. In the present investigation we propose strategies for optimizing oxygen diffusion in these materials by modifying the oxygen stoichiometry, the composition and cation disorder.
