Title: Electrochemical characterization of B-site cation-excess Pr 2Ni 0.75Cu 0.25Ga 0.05O 4+δ cathode for IT-SOFCs

In this paper, the B-site cation-excess K 2NiF 4-type structure oxide, Pr 2Ni 0.75Cu 0.25Ga 0.05O 4+δ (PNCG) is investigated as a cathode for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs). XRD result shows that PNCG cathode is chemically compatible with the electrolyte Gd 0.1Ce 0.9O 2-δ (GDC) at 900 °C for 5 h. The PNCG material exhibits a semiconductor to metal transition around 425 °C. The thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) of the PNCG sample is 12.72×10 -6 K -1 between 30 and 850 °C in air. The polarization resistance (R p) of PNCG cathode on GDC electrolyte is 0.105, 0.197 and 0.300 Ω cm 2 at 800, 750, 700 °C, respectively. A maximum power density of 371 mW cm -2 is obtained at 800 °C for single-cell with 300 μm thick GDC electrolyte and PNCG cathode. Finally, the results of this study demonstrate that PNCG can be a promising cathode material for IT-SOFCs.
