Computational engineering of the oxygen electrode-electrolyte interface in solid oxide fuel cells

Abstract The Ce0.8Gd0.2O2−δ (CGO) interlayer is commonly applied in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) to prevent chemical reactions between the (La1−x Sr x )(Co1−y Fe y )O3−δ (LSCF) oxygen electrode and the Y2O3-stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ) electrolyte. However, formation of the YSZ–CGO solid solution with lo...
