Abstract:A fiber-structured La0.5Sr0.5CoO3-δ cathode was prepared via electrostatic spinning of solution, and the structure, thermal stability, and electrochemical performance of this fiber-structured cathode was systematically investigated. The results show that, compared with the common particle-structured cathode prepared from the plain powder material, this fiber-structured cathode reveals more favorable thermal stability of lattice, more rational pore distribution, and more advanced electrochemical performance. At 800 ℃, the area specific resistance with this fiber-structured cathode is as low as 0.035 Ω?cm2, and the maximum power density with the corresponding single-cell is 930 mW/cm2, showing the fast electrode kinetics of oxygen reduction reaction. Comparatively, the area specific resistance with the common particle-structured cathode is 0.065 Ω?cm2, and the maximum power density with the corresponding single-cell is only 750 mW/cm2. Moreover, in cell operation, the electrochemical performance of this fiber-structured cathode is also very stable, and the output power of cells under a constant loading voltage of 0.6 V at 750 ℃ drops slowly from 740 mW/cm2 to 660 mW/cm2 after 15 h of running, showing the slow worsening of area specific resistance.
