The cathodic polarization of the La,. rSr.,. MO.~ z (M= Cr, Mn, Fe, Co) electrodes sputtered on yttria stabilized zirconia electrolyte was studied at 800~ in air. The La~.~. Sr~ CoO:~ _~. system showed high electrode activity for oxygen reduction. The study of the electrode resistance as functions of Po~ and temperature revealed that the rate-determining steps for oxygen reduction were as follows: the charge transfer process for La~ _, SrrCoO:~~, the dissociation of oxygen molecules on the surface for La,.~ Sr~ FeO.~ _: and La, _., Sr~ MnO:~~, and the oxygen diffusion on the electrode surface for La,.~ Sr,.:~ CrO:~. The marked electrode activity of La, _xSrxCoO:~ _~ was explained by the large effective reaction surface area, which is caused by the high oxide ion diffusivity and the high dissociation ability of oxygen molecules. In La, _xSr~. MO:~ _~(M= Mn, Fe), the ability of the dissociation of oxygen molecules was considered to be lower than that in La,. rSrxCoO:~~. The low activity of Cr-perovskite electrode was explained by the low diffusivity of oxygen ions.Recently, high temperature solid oxide electrolyte fuel cells (SOFC) have become of great interest. However, the realization of a useful device is dependent on whether the many material problems arising from the high operating temperature will be solved. Of these problems, the selection of the cathode materials holds an important position (1-3). The cathode material for a high temperature SOFC has to meet the following requirements: high electronic conductivity, thermal and chemical stability, sufficiently large surface area (porosity), good adherence at the surface of the electrolyte, and the catalytic activity for the dissociation of oxygen molecules. Some complex oxides in the perovskite family have been suggested as satisfying most of the above requirements. The cell per-* Electrochemical Society Active Member.
