Abstract

Transmission electron microscopic (TEM) studies have revealed SrZrO₃ formation and growth at La_0.6Sr_0.4Co_0.2Fe_0.8O₃ (LSCF)/Ce_0.9Gd_0.1O₂ (GDC)/yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) interfaces in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). SrZrO₃ forms first at the GDC/YSZ interface: at the interface between the GDC dense layer and the YSZ, at grain boundaries in the GDC dense layer, and on the surface of the GDC dense layer during the sintering of LSCF at 1100°C. Then, SrZrO₃ grows to both sides of the YSZ electrolyte and the porous GDC layer. Electron energy loss spectroscopy revealed the inter-diffusion of La, Ce, and Gd as well as Sr and Zr in the vicinity of the GDC/YSZ interface. La was a solute in SrZrO₃, and SrZrO₃ exhibited a tetragonal crystal structure with a double pseudo-cubic perovskite sub-cell. Nucleation and growth of the SrZrO₃ orthorhombic phase was observed at 800°C under an O₂ atmosphere in an environmental TEM.
