Summary: BaCe0.7Zr0.1Y0.16Zn0.04O3-δ perovskite shows great potential as an electrolyte in industrial steam electrolysis applications, with excellent protonic conductivity and stability, especially at elevated temperatures. The formation/degradation of secondary phases in wet atmospheres is attributed to the formation of Ba(OH)2 and CeO2 around 500 degrees C. This material is a promising candidate for industrial fuel cells and steam electrolysers.

Summary: Nickel-doped barium ferrate with triple conducting ability is developed as cathodes for proton-conducting solid oxide fuel cells (H-SOFCs), showing impressive electrochemical performance at intermediate temperatures. The high electrocatalytic capacity of the nickel-doped barium ferrate cathode is attributed to its significant proton conductivity, which is enhanced by the presence of nickel and the regulated composition and structure of the composite cathode.

Summary: Commercial use of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) requires high output performance and excellent long-term stability. In this study, a nanostructured spinel high-entropy oxide (Fe0.2Mn0.2Co0.2Ni0.2Zn0.2)3O4 (FMCNZ) was developed as the SOFC cathode using an impregnation method. The FMCNZ cathode showed higher oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance compared to traditional spinel cathodes, attributed to the diversity of surface metal cations and the increase of surface oxygen vacancies brought on by the high entropy design. The nanostructured FMCNZ cathode exhibited stable performance after 100 hours of cell operation, providing a promising path for developing high-performance cathodes.

Summary: A new series of HEPs are investigated as cathode materials for SOFCs, achieving both chromium tolerance and high performance. The A-site elements have a significant influence on overall performance, and using the three most active elements simultaneously leads to the best candidate. Excellent Cr tolerance has been observed, with degradation of only 0.25%/kh during operation.

Summary: In the SmBa1-xCaxCo2O5+d oxide systems, different compositions exhibited various electrical conductivity and metal-insulator transition behaviors. Among them, SBCCO-0.8 showed the highest electrical conductivity, while SBCCO-0.9 demonstrated excellent ASR characteristic at high temperature. The crystal structures of SBCCO were identified as orthorhombic, with unique X-ray diffraction peaks.

Summary: A series of Ce-doped coatings (Mn1.5-xCo1.5-xCe2xO4+delta, x = 0, 0.025, 0.05, and 0.1) were prepared to improve the electrical conductivity of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) interconnect coatings. Experimental results showed that Ce doping effectively reduced the area-specific resistance of the coatings. However, excessive Ce doping led to more structural defects and weakened the oxidation resistance of the coatings.

Summary: Solid oxide PrBaCo1.8Ga0.2O6-delta (PBCG) was synthesized using a glycerol-nitrate route. XRD and SEM techniques were used to confirm the structure and microstructural composition of the ceramics. The high-temperature electrical conductivity and thermopower of the sintered PBCG sample were measured. It was found that Ga doping increased the conduction properties by approximately 30%. The enhancement of conductivity was explained by a recently proposed electronic transport model, which suggested an increase in polaron hopping frequencies and a decrease in carriers' effective mass in the metallic subsystem of PBCG.

Summary: In this study, the unique microstructure and electrical properties of SmBa0.5Sr0.5Co2O5+d (SBSCO) layered perovskite cathodes with dense and porous microstructures were analyzed by changing the applied current. It was observed that unique nanostructures were formed when a high current was applied to cathodes with both dense and porous microstructures of the same chemical composition for conductivity measurement.
