K. Hayashi et al., SPUTTERED LA0.5SR0.5MNO3-YTTRIA STABILIZED ZIRCONIA COMPOSITE FILM ELECTRODES FOR SOFC, Solid state ionics, 98(1-2), 1997, pp. 49-55
The La0.5Sr0.5MnO3 (SLM)-8 mol % yttria stabilized cubic zirconia (YSZ
) composite film electrodes were prepared by co-sputtering SLM and YSZ
under an argon and oxygen mixed atmosphere. The electrical conductivi
ty and cathodic overpotential of these composite films were examined.
The cathodic overpotential of SLM was decreased by co-sputtering SLM a
nd YSZ. The addition of YSZ to SLM diminished the grain growth of SLM
by annealing at a high temperature.
