(La_0.8Sr_0.2)_0.98MnO_3-δ (LSM)- Zr_0.92Y_0.16O_2-δ (YSZ) has been widely studied as the cathode for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), but its low activity has been a cell performance limiting factor. Herein, LSM-YSZ:PrO_x composite is developed as an active electrocatalyst for both oxygen reduction and evolution reactions. A single step PrO_x infiltration into LSM-YSZ lowers the polarization resistance (Rp) 10–20 times depending on the test temperature. Distribution of relaxation times (DRT) calculation reveals that adding PrO_x affects surface exchange between adsorbed/desorbed oxygen and lattice oxygen, and oxygen dissociative adsorption/desorption. A symmetrical cell with a thin YSZ electrolyte sandwiched between thick LSM-YSZ:PrO_x electrode-supports is developed and its oxygen generation performance and stability are evaluated under various current densities and temperatures. Finally, reversible solid oxide cell (ReSOC) performance is also reported for LSM-YSZ:PrO_x supported cells with the oxide fuel electrode Sr_0.95(Ti_0.3Fe_0.63Ni_0.07)O_3-δ (STFN).
