In this work, Bi1.5Y0.5O3 (BYO)films are prepared by spray-pyrolysis deposition at reduced temperatures on a Zr0.84Y0.16O1.92 (YSZ)electrolyte. The influence of the BYO film on the performance of an La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 (LSM) cathodeprepared by traditional screen-printing and spray-pyrolysis is investigated. A complete structural,morphological, and electrochemical characterization is carried out by X-ray di raction, electronmicroscopy, and impedance spectroscopy. The incorporation of BYO films decreases the Area SpecificResistance (ASR) of screen-printed cathodes from 6.4 to 2.2 W cm2 at 650 C. However, furtherimprovements are observed for the nanostructured electrodes prepared by spray-pyrolysis withASRs of 0.55 and 1.15 W cm2 at 650 C for cathodes with and without an active layer, respectively.These results demonstrate that microstructural control using optimized fabrication methods isdesirable to obtain high-e ciency electrodes for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) applications.
