Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) have attracted much attention due to their high energy conversion efficiency and green pollution-free.It is found that Sm0.5Sr0.5CoO3-δ (SSC) with perovskite structure is an electron-ion mixed conductor,showing good oxygen reduction activity,high conductivity and low polarization resistance.In order to investigate the effect of lanthanide Pr doping on the performance of SSC cathode,the PrxSm0.5-xSr0.5CoO3 (x=0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.5) cathode powders were prepared by sol-gel method,and their characterization and electrochemical performance were tested.The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) test showed that when the Pr doping was 0.3,the polarization resistance of the PSSC-30 cathode was smaller than that of other doping amounts cathode in the range of 550~750℃.The power density of the full cell reached its maximum at 700℃,which was 311.06mW/cm2.
