Anodic characteristics of La, \_,Sr,MnO, electrodes were investigated in alkaline solutions. It was found that the catalytic activity for the oxygen evolution reaction was relatively high and increased with the increase of x in La, \_,Sr,MnO,. The primary discharge step of hydroxide ion is rate-cont

✦ Synopsis
The impedance responses and current-overpotential characteristics were studied for oxygen reducing cathodes, stoichiometric La, _,Sr,MnO, (x = 0.16-0.20) in solid oxide fuel cells, under varying conditions of temperature (700-900°C) and oxygen partial pressure (l-10-4atm) for two distinctly different electrode morphologies (porous and dense structure). An electrode densified at the interface with the yttria-stabilized zirconia solid electrolyte was more efficient in this study. The reaction at the finely porous LSM proceeds via the triple phase boundary and ineffectively uses the mixed conductivity property of the material. Reaction mechanisms for both cases (porous and dense structure) are discussed and compared with the literature. A new, two-layered cathode structure is proposed.

The kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction at the La O,slSr,,,,MnO,/ZrO,-Y,O, electrode has been studied by ac impedance spectroscopy. The results show that there are three time constants present in the system, each one corresponding to a rate limiting step of the total reaction mechanism. The ti
## Abstract Two series of anode supported solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) were prepared, one with a composite cathode layer of lanthanum strontium manganite (LSM) and yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) on top and the other further has a LSM current collector layer on top. The fuel cells were heat treat
