Oxygen reduction at the interface YSZ/LaMnO{sub 3} prepared by vapor phase processes

Conference ·
OSTI ID:242514

Dense and thin LaMnO{sub 32} and YSZ was deposited on porous La{sub 0.85}(Sr) in order to study oxygen redox behavior at an interface of LaMnO{sub 3}/YSZ. YSZ film was deposited by the CVD-EVD method on porous substrate at firs, LaMnO{sub 3} film was deposited on the YSZ film by the EVD method. Results of the AC impedance measurements showed that electrode interface conductivity ({sigma}{sub e}) was directly proportional to the surface area, while {sigma}{sub e} v.s. TPB (Three Phase Boundary) length plot did not show linear relationship. It was concluded that LaMnO{sub 3} surface as well as TPB region, is an active site for oxygen redox reaction when the LaMnO{sub 3} film electrode is very thin (about few {micro}m).
