Abstract

In situ synchrotron x-ray techniques were used to investigate oxygen surface exchange behavior in thin film La 0.6Sr 0.4Co 0.2Fe 0.8O 3-δ (LSCF)/Gd 2O 3-doped CeO 2/Y 2O 3-stabilized ZrO 2 heterostructures. Applying electrical potentials across the heterostructures results in significant expansion or contraction of the out-of-plane LSCF lattice parameter, indicating changes in the LSCF oxygen vacancy concentration. Oxygen transport across the LSCF/atmosphere interface is found to be rate limiting under both cathodic and anodic conditions.
