Abstract

The method of impedancemetry is used to study electrochemical activity of platinum electrodes in contact with the solid electrolyte of YSZ (ZrO2+10 mol % Y2O3). Electrodes are activated by small additives of pradeodymium oxide PrO x (0.1–0.3 mg/cm2) by their impregnation by praseodymium nitrate solution with the further thermal treatment at 850°C and are studied in the cases when PrO x forms a film on the electrolyte and when no activator film is formed. The effect of the number of electrode activations on the electrochemical activity of platinum electrodes is studied.
