RT Journal Article T1 Efficient symmetrical electrodes based on LaCrO3 via microstructural engineering. A1 Zamudio-García, Javier A1 Porras-Vázquez, José Manuel A1 Ramírez-Losilla, Enrique A1 Marrero-López, David K1 Pilas de combustible K1 Electroquímica AB Novel nanostructured electrodes, La0.98Cr0.75B0.25O3δ (B = Mn, Fe, Ti and Cu), are prepared by a single spraypyrolysisdeposition method directly on the electrolyte and a porous Ce0.9Gd0.1O1.95 (CGO) scaffold. Theseperovskite-type electrodes without alkaline-earth metals exhibit low ionic/electronic conductivity; however, thepolarization resistance is greatly enhanced by microstructural design. The best results are obtained forLa0.98Cr0.75Mn0.25O3-δ deposited into a porous CGO-scaffold due to the synergetic effect of CGO, with high ionicconductivity, and doped-LaCrO3 with a predominantly electronic conductivity. The materials are investigated asboth air and fuel electrodes for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) by different structural, microstructural and electrochemicaltechniques. Low values of polarization resistance are achieved for nanostructuredLa0.98Cr0.75Mn0.25O3-δ-CGO electrodes, i.e. 0.057 Ω cm2 in air at 800 ◦C, compared to 0.96 Ω cm2 for the samepowder electrode obtained by screen-printing deposition. An electrolyte-supported symmetrical cell generates astable maximum power output of 475 mW cm􀀀 2 at 800 ◦C.
