Impedance spectroscopy, combined with an unbonded interface cell, has been used to assess oxygen reduction behavior at interfaces between an yttria-stabilized zirconia electrolyte and perovskite or platinum cathode materials. Intrinsic oxygen reduction specific activities of Y{sub 1-x}Ca{sub x}MnO{sub 3} (x = 0.5, 0.6 and 0.7) and La{sub 1-x}Sr{sub x}MnO{sub 3} (x = 0.1 and 0.3) were determined as a function of temperature and oxygen partial pressure, independent of the interface morphology. The overall cathodic interfacial polarization consists of two or more fundamental processes. In the temperature range of 900--1000C and in air, the operating conditions for a solid oxide fuel cell, charge transfer and oxygen dissociation processes were approximately equivalent relative to the overall oxygen reduction kinetics.
