A Bulk-Heterostructure Nanocomposite Electrolyte of Ce_0.8Sm_0.2O_2-δ-SrTiO₃ for Low-Temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cells.

ABSTRACT: Since colossal ionic conductivity was detected in the planar heterostructures consisting of fluorite and perovskite, heterostructures have drawn great research interest as potential electrolytes for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). However, so far, the practical uses of such promising material have failed to materialize in SOFCs due to the short circuit risk caused by SrTiO₃. In this study, a series of fluorite/perovskite heterostructures made of Sm-doped CeO₂ and SrTiO₃ (SDC-STO) are developed in a new bulk-heterostructure form and evaluated as electrolytes. The prepared cells exhibit a peak power density of 892 mW cm^-2 along with open circuit voltage of 1.1 V at 550 °C for the optimal composition of 4SDC-6STO. Further electrical studies reveal a
