Leveraging in-situ formation of Ni–Fe nanoparticles to promote the catalytic performance of Ruddlesden-Popper based electrode for symmetrical solid oxide fuel cells

Ruddlesden−Popper layered oxide, La0.25Sr2.75FeNiO7-δ (LSFN) is evaluated as a potential electrode material for symmetrical solid oxide fuel cells. The in-situ formation of Ni–Fe alloy nanoparticles on the LSFN surface in reducing atmosphere can be believed to enhance the activity towards hydrogen oxidation reaction. LSFN exhibit maximum conductivity of 221.2 S/cm and 0.206 S/cm in air and hydrogen environment. Furthermore, LSFN is mixed with...
