Perovskite-type La0.8Sr0.2ScyMn1−yO3−δoxides (LSSMy, y=0.0–0.2) were synthesized and investigated as cathodes for solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) containing a stabilized zirconia electrolyte. The introduction of Sc3+into the B-site of La0.8Sr0.2MnO3−δ(LSM) led to a decrease in the oxides’ thermal expansion coefficients and electrical conductivities. Among the various LSSMy oxides tested, LSSM0.05 possessed the smallest area-specific cathodic polarization resistance, as a result of the suppressive effect of Sc3+on surface SrO segregation and the optimization of the concentration of surface oxygen vacancies. At 850°C, it was only ∼0.094Ωcm2after a current passage of 400mAcm−2for 30min, significantly lower than that of LSM (∼0.25Ωcm2). An anode-supported cell with a LSSM0.05 cathode demonstrated a peak power density of 1300mWcm−2at 850°C. The corresponding value for the cell with LSM cathode was 450mWcm−2under the same conditions. The LSSM0.05 oxide may potentially be a good cathode material for IT-SOFCs containing doped zirconia electrolytes.
