Summary: In this study, symmetric electrolyte-supported YSZ cells infiltrated with LSF were prepared, characterized, and tested in the oxygen reduction reaction. The effects of calcination temperature and precursors load on the ORR activity were investigated, with optimal performance achieved at 750 degrees C and with LSF loads between 20% and 40%. Equivalent circuit analysis of the EIS results indicated that the reactivity at the LSF/gas interface is rate-determining.

Summary: The combination of electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and environmental transmission electron microscopy (ETEM) is demonstrated by testing a specially designed micro gadolinia-doped ceria (CGO) sample. The EIS-TEM method provides valuable information on the structural and compositional aspects relevant to electrochemical performance. The developed platform is important for understanding nanoscale processes in green energy technologies.

Summary: In this study, aperture-type limiting current sensors based on LSM-YSZ and LSM-CGO-YSZ composites were fabricated and evaluated for O2 and CO sensing. The LSM-CGO-YSZ composite electrodes exhibited higher limiting current values than the commercial Pt and LSM-YSZ electrodes in both O2 and CO atmospheres.

Summary: In this study, bilayer composite electrodes based on LNF electronic conductor and Bi2O3-based electrolytes doped with Er and Y have been developed and their performance has been investigated under different electrolyte content and sintering conditions. The optimized electrodes showed polarization resistance in the range of 0.65-1.09 Omega cm(2) at 600 degrees C and 0.10-0.12 Omega cm(2) at 700 degrees C, with significantly improved performance compared to standard platinum cathodes in single cells.

Summary: A novel one-pot synthesis route was developed to fabricate wormhole-like structures in porous YSZ and Ni-YSZ systems. This method achieved mechanically stable skeletons with nearly 50% open porosity without using additional pore-formers. The obtained Ni-YSZ anode demonstrated better long-term electrical stability and higher electrochemical activity due to the suppression of Ni structural changes and improved interfacial interaction with YSZ.

Summary: The multilayer thin film cathode of the SOFC with different thickness of the layers is obtained by magnetron sputtering. The optimal thickness of the layers provides maximum power density for SOFCs, leading to improved efficiency. The performance of the SOFC with the multilayer cathode is significantly enhanced in the investigated temperature range.

Summary: This study systematically investigates the chemical compatibility between alkaline earth metal oxides (AEMOs) and NiO-YSZ anode in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) from both experimental and theoretical perspectives, as well as their consequences on cell performance. The results show that the formation of AEM zirconates is detrimental to oxygen ionic conductivity, while the formation of AEMO-NiO solid solution suppresses catalytic activity and electrical conductivity. Potential strategies to deposit AEMO on Ni particles without chemical interaction are proposed.

Summary: Novel compositions of Gd3+ and Nd3+ co-doped cerium oxide nanocomposite with three different compositions have been synthesized and studied as electrolytes for low temperature solid oxide fuel cells (LTSOFCs). The addition of Nd3+ and Gd3+ ions stabilized the cubic fluorite structure, and the composition Ce0.90Nd0.10O2-delta-Ce0.90Gd0.10O2-delta showed the highest ionic conductivity and the lowest activation energy, indicating its potential as a electrolyte for LT-SOFC.

Summary: This study investigated the possibility of introducing cation vacancies into the Ln sublattice of perovskite-related Ruddlesden-Popper nickelates. The results showed that the concentration of cation vacancies in the A sublattice of the Ruddlesden-Popper structure is very low, and the introduction of vacancies enhances the diffusivity of A-site cations and destabilizes the structure. However, the nominal cation deficiency has no effect on the electrical conductivity and oxygen permeability of the ceramics.

Summary: This paper investigates the effect of sintering temperature on the performance of the Ruddlesden-Popper phase La2NiO4+delta as a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell cathode material. The study shows that increasing the sintering temperature leads to a significant improvement in electrode performance. It is also found that adding a noble metal contacting layer can dramatically enhance the performance of the LNO214 electrode. These findings have important implications for SOFC testing methodologies.

Summary: The effect of Zr-doping on the novel SOFC cathode YMnO3 and its O-2-Reduction Reaction was studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) as a function of temperature and the oxygen partial pressure. EIS technique allowed identifying three processes controlling the ORR for each electrode, differentiated by their characteristic frequency, activation energies and pO2 dependence.

Summary: This work presents a comparative study of diffusion and surface exchange coefficients between Co3O4 decorated LSCF electrodes and reference LSCF electrodes. The results show that the polarization resistance of Co3O4 decorated LSCF is significantly reduced compared to the reference electrode at 700°C, and the decoration modifies the surface reaction mechanism. Additionally, the diffusion coefficient remains unchanged after decoration, indicating the presence of a surface diffusion process for both electrodes.
