The phase formation, structure, microstructure and electrochemical properties of thecathodes are investigated as a function of the CGO-content and the temperature by using X-ray diffraction,electron microscopy and impedance spectroscopy. The addition of CGO to LSCF limits the grain growth, givingrise to fine particles of approximately 30 nm of diameter after sintering at 800 °C. A small particle size of 50 nmis retained even after sintering at 1000 °C. However, the polarization resistance, determined by impedancespectroscopy, is not significantly improved with the CGO-addition. The performance of these nanocompositeelectrodes, investigated in NiOeCGO anode-supported cells, shows an improved power density of 0.9 Wcm−2 at650 °C, compared to 0.56 Wcm−2 for a conventional screen-printed cathode.
