β¦ Synopsis
A kind of nanostructured Ce 0.9 Sm 0.1 O 1.95 is prepared by a hydrothermal method. It exhibits large Brunauer-Emmett-Teller area (>120 m 2 g -1 ), open mesoporous structure and nanocrystalline sheets. This material shows high activity for oxygen reduction. An area specific resistance below 0.6 X cm 2 at 600 Β°C is achieved when it is mixed with Ag paste as a composite cathode in a symmetric cell. This is attributed to its large triple phase boundary area and good ionic conducting property. The influences of microstructure, doping, loading effects of silver nanoparticles and the tem-perature dependence on oxygen reduction kinetics are investigated by the impedance spectroscopy. Although some further optimisations are still required, this special Ce 0.9 Sm 0.1 O 1.95 material reported here exhibits promising features of applications in the composite electrodes for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs).

Ni cermet anodes are commonly used in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) [1][2][3][4], but there has been considerable interest in alternative oxide-based anodes [5]. The motivation for the alternative materials is to avoid problems with the Ni-based anodes, including susceptibility to coking in hydroca
