Interlayer composite thin film of Pr2Ni0.71Cu0.24Ga0.05O4-Sm0.2Ce0.8O1.9 (PNCG-SDC) was deposited between the La0.9Sr0.2Ga0.8Mg0.2O3.delta (LSGM) thin film and Sm0.5Sr0.5CoO3-delta (SSC) powder cathode for increasing the cathodic activity for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs). It was found that cathodic overpotential was decreased by introduction of PNCG-SDC composite film resulting in the increased power density on both anode and electrolyte supported LSGM cell. The maximum power density of the anode supported cell using PNCG-SDC film was increased to 2.35 and 0.3 W/cm(2) at 700 and 500 degrees C, respectively, which is higher than that of the cell without PNCG-SDC film. The activation energy estimated by cathodic overpotential indicated that PNCG-SDC film was effective for increasing the activity of active sites. Based on these results, PNCGSDC composited film, which may be double columnar structure, was highly effective for increasing cathodic performance to oxygen reduction at intermediate temperature.
