✦ Synopsis

It is found that the solid solubility of Ce in Nd 2-x Ce x CuO 4±ı is limited up to x = 0.2. A semiconductor to metallic transition is observed at 600 • C in d.c. conductivity data, which coincides with a transition in temperature-dependent area-specific resistance (ASR). Nd 1.8 Ce 0.2 CuO 4±ı is thermodynamically and chemically stable against gadolinia-doped ceria (GDC) up to 1200 • C. On the other hand, it reacts with a yttria-stabilized zirconia electrolyte to form Nd 2 Zr 2 O 7 . At 700 • C, the ASR of a Nd 1.8 Ce 0.2 CuO 4±ı /GDC/Nd 1.8 Ce 0.2 CuO 4±ı cell sintered at 800 • C is 0.13 ohm cm 2 , and the ASR proportionally improves with increase in the sintering temperature of the electrochemical cell. The improved ASR and electrochemical performance are attributed to the nanocrystalline nature of the cathode material.

Cathode materials consisting of Pr 1-x Sr x Co 0.8 Fe 0.2 O 3-ı (x = 0.2-0.6) were prepared by the sol-gel process for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs). The samples had an orthorhombic perovskite structure. The electrical conductivities were all higher than 279 S cm -1 . Th

The stability and activity in 0.5% H 2 S-CH 4 of Ce 0.9 Sr 0.1 VO 3 and Ce 0.9 Sr 0.1 VO 4 anode materials for H 2 Scontaining CH 4 fueled SOFCs have been determined. XRD showed that Ce 0.9 Sr 0.1 VO 4 was reduced when the fuel gas was 0.5% H 2 S-CH 4 , while Ce 0.9 Sr 0.1 VO 3 remained stable over
