A hydrogen membrane fuel cell (HMFC) consisting of a Pd solid anode, 1 μm thick BaCe0.8Y0.2O3−δ thin-film electrolyte, and La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3 cathode was examined. A single-phase BaCe0.8Y0.2O3−δ thin film was successfully deposited by radio frequency cosputtering with BaCe0.8Y0.2O3 and Ce0.9Y0.1O2 double targets, as checked by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and wavelength dispersive X-ray analysis. The maximum power density reached 1.05 W cm–2 at 600 °C, and this value was higher than the champion data of the recently reported proton-conducting ceramic fuel cells (PCFCs). Electrochemical impedance analysis was performed to characterize the anode and cathode polarization behavior. The impedance responses of HMFC were explicable with an equivalent circuit built by a series connection of cathode charge-transfer elements and anode mass-transfer elements. The contribution of the mass transfer in Pd bulk was found to be relatively small in comparison to cathode polarization and ohmic l...
