Abstract

Abstract Pr 0.4 Sr 0.6 Co 0.2 Fe 0.7 Nb 0.1 O 3− δ (PSCFN) nanofibers and their corresponding Pr 0.4 Sr 0.6 Co 0.2 Fe 0.7 Nb 0.1 O 3− δ –Gd 0.2 Ce 0.8 O 1.9 (PSCFN–GDC) composites have been synthesized and applied as cathodes for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs). In this paper, PSCFN nanofibers were obtained through electro-spinning and the following pyrolysis process. The resultant PSCFN nanofibers were infiltrated with GDC precursor to prepare nanofiber-structured PSCFN–GDC composite cathodes. The optimal PSCFN: GDC mass ratio of 1: 0.10 was identified to possess the lowest interfacial polarization resistances of 0.264, 0.155, 0.039 and 0.018 Ω cm 2 at 650, 700, 750 and 800 °C, respectively, lower than those of the PSCFN–GDC nanoparticle-structured composite cathode. The PSCFN–GDC (1: 0.10) shows an excellent stability of electrochemical activity under a current density of 200 mA cm −2 for 100 h at 800 °C. All results proved that the nanofiber-structured PSCFN–GDC composite could act as a highly efficient cathode candidate for the IT-SOFCs.
