Abstract

The sintering features, electroconductivity, and electrochemical characteristics of bilayer electrodes with functional composite layers based on La(Sr)MnO3 (LSM) and La(Sr)Fe(Co)O3 with LSM collector layer and Bi(Y)O1.5 (YDB) electrolyte additive in contact with Ce (Sm)O2(SDC), La(Sr)Ga(Mg)O3, and Zr(Sc)O2 electrolytes were studied. YDB additive to the electrode collector layer was shown to produce a positive effect to the properties of the studied electrode systems. The maximum electrochemical activity and electroconductivity was observed for the electrodes with 5 wt % of YDB electrolyte additive in the collector layer. Thus, electroconductivity of electrodes is almost doubled and 100 mV cathode overvoltage current density is increased by 30% at the temperatures of 800 to 900°C and up to 10-fold at 650 to 700°C. The collector layer sintering temperature of bilayer electrodes can be reduced from 1150 to 1000°C without loss of electrochemical activity. The service life tests (about 1200 h) of composite electrodes with LSM2-SDC functional layer and 90% LSM2 + 10% YDB collector layer in contact with SDC electrolyte showed the time dependences of polarization resistance tending to saturation and described with damped exponent.
