Title: A Highly Efficient and Robust Nanofiber Cathode for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells

Abstract

(La0.6Sr0.4)0.95Co0.2Fe0.8O3+δ nanofiber cathode prepared by electrospinning demonstrates excellent oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity, as reflected by reduced polarization resistance and diminished activation energy. ORR enhancement can be attributed to the efficient mass/charge transfer. Furthermore, the nanofiber electrode shows good durability under operation conditions of solid oxide fuel cells.
