Abstract:

Mixed ionic- and electronic-conducting perovskite-type oxides are the state-of-the-art materials for high-temperature solid-state electrochemical devices such as solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), oxygen membranes, and sensors. Many of such materials are cobaltite-based oxides. Recently, double perovskites REBaCo2 O5.5±δ, where RE is a trivalent rare earth and the oxygen content δ varies in wide range, have received a great attention as attractive materials for such application. Many interesting phenomena, such as giant magnetoresistance, charge ordering, and metal-insulator transition, have been observed in these compounds. Powder samples of GdBaCo2-x Fex O6-δ (x=0;0.2) were synthesized by glycerol-nitrate method. Oxygen nonstoichiomentry of oxides GdBaCo2-x Fex O6-δ (x=0;0.2) was measured by the thermogravimetric (TG) method as a function of temperature in the range of 25-1100°C in air. Total conductivity of aforementioned oxides was studied by the four-probe dc-method as a function of temperature in the range of 25-1100°C in air. Polarization resistance of double perovskite cathodes was investigated by impedance spectroscopy in symmetrical cell of the type electrode electrolyte electrode. "Metal-insulator" transition was found at 80°C in GdBaCo2 O6-δ, whereas it was not observed in iron-doped sample GdBaCo1.8 Fe0.2 O 6-δ due to the increase in oxygen content upon Fe-doping. At high temperatures, both double perovskites have almost the same total conductivity. Chemical interaction was found to decrease the performance of GdBaCo2-x Fex O6-δ cathodes in YSZ-based SOFCs due to the chemical interaction between electrolyte and cathode materials, which significantly increases their polarization resistance. Behavior of total conductivity of oxides GdBaCo2-x Fex O6-δ (x=0;0.2) with temperature was explained by assuming small polaron charge transfer. The particularity of the latter is larger mobility of electron holes as compared with that of electrons. Increase in cathode performance was shown in the case of YSZ covered by the Ce0.8 Sm0.2 O2 layer in comparison with pure Zr0.9Y0.1O2 electrolyte. © 2011 American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
