Abstract

Electrochemically catalytic Ag particles in nano-range were in situ incorporated into the 15 μm thick cathode consisting of La 0 6Sr0 4Co0 2Fe0 8O3 8 and Ce0 8Gd0 2O1 9 (GDC) via a citrate infiltration method. The Ag-impregnation route ensures very homogeneous particle dispersion and good adhesion of Ag to the ceramic matrices. The functional cathode was successfully operated on the Ni-cermet-supported (ZrO 2)0 89(Sc2O3)0 1(CeO 2)0 01 electrolyte with a GDC buffer layer under a micro-tubular configuration, producing maximum power density of 1.06 W cm -2 (1.43 A cm-2,0.74 V), 0.98 W cm-2 (1.78 A cm-2,0.55 V), and 0.49 Wcm-2 (1.44 A cm-2,0.34 V) at 650,600, and 550°C, respectively.
