Abstract:
La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-δ (LSCF) is a common cathode material for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells because of its excellent oxygen reduction reaction catalytic activity. However, the Cr-poisoning effect is a severe issue, causing electrochemical performance degradation. For the development of a LSCF-based cathode with excellent Cr tolerance, a LaCrO3-coated LSCF core-shell structured (LCr@LSCF) cathode was prepared via the solution infiltration method. After the cathode was coated with a LCr shell, the long-term stability and Cr tolerance were obviously improved, at the price of sacrificing some electrochemical performance. The development of a LCr@LSCF cathode with eye-catching Cr tolerance is of great significance to the commercialization of LSCF.

Spontaneous redox reactions occur abundantly in nature. The chemical reaction occurring in a disposable AA battery powering our remote controls is one such example of a spontaneous redox reaction. Another example is the immersion of coiled copper wire into an aqueous silver nitrate solution. The reaction shows a gradual, visually impressive color change from colorless to bright blue and the formation of a grey precipitate on the copper wire. In this experiment,...
