The ternary cathodes of Ce0.7Bi0.3O1.85-(La0.8Sr0.2)(0.9)MnO3-Y0.16Zr0.84O1.92 (BDC-LSM-YSZ) are fabricated through infiltration for low temperature solid oxide fuel cells. The infiltrated BDC particles are 10-20 nm in size and cover on LSM and YSZ particles. The 10 wt% and 20 wt% BDC-LSM-YSZ samples show a large peak for the desorption of surface oxygen species and a large peak for the evolution of lattice oxygen, reflecting their good redox property. 0.1BDC-LSM-YSZ cell and 0.2BDC-LSM-YSZ cell give the power density at 0.6 V of 387.8 and 521.7 mWcm(-2) at 600 degrees C, which is 3.7 and 4.9 times higher than that of LSM-YSZ cell, respectively. 0.1BDC-LSM-YSZ cell and 0.2BDC-LSM-YSZ cell exhibit low ohmic resistance and low total polarization resistance. The DRT analysis reveals that charge transfer reaction and surface diffusion are greatly accelerated on the BDC-LSM-YSZ cathodes. (C) 2017 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
