High temperature SOFC has been successfully developed to its commercial applications, but it still faces many problems which hamper large-scale commercial applications of SOFC. To reduce the cost of SOFC, intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell （IT-SOFC） is presently under rapid development. The status of IT-SOFC was reviewed with emphasis on discussion of their component materials. 2008 University of Science and Technology Beijing. All rights reserved.展开更多

BSFN, which was synthesized by auto ignition process, was chemically compatible with SDC up to 1100 ℃ as indicated by X-ray diffraction analysis. The electrical conductivity of BSFN reached the maximum value of 57 S.cm-1 at 450 ℃. The thermal expansion coefficient （TEC） value of BSFN was 30.9×10-6 K-1, much higher than that of typical electrolytes. The electrochemical behavior of the composites was analyzed via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy with symmetrical cells BSFN-SDC/SDC/BSFN-SDC. The area specific interracial polarization resistance （ASR） decreased with increasing SDC content of the composite. The area specific interracial polarization resistance （ASR） at 700 ℃ is only 0.49, 0.34 and 0.31 Ω.cm2 when 30, 40, and 50 wt% SDC was cooperated to BSFN, respectively. These results suggest that BSFN-SDC is a possible candidate for IT-SOFC cathode.展开更多
