Abstract
Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are promising alternatives to fossil fuel technologies. This paper reports an innovative concept for high-performance thin-film cathodes comprising nanoporous La0.6Sr0.4CoO3-δ cathodes and self-assembled nanocomposite La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-δ and Ce0.9Gd0.1O2-δ cathode layers prepared using pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Integration into anode-supported cells achieved high current densities at 0.7 V, reaching 2.2 and 4.7 A/cm² at 650 °C and 700 °C, respectively. This demonstrates that nanoengineering significantly boosts cathode electrochemical performance for next-generation SOFCs.
