Materials of the series La2-xSrxNiTiO6-delta (0 <= x <= 0.5) have been characterized by both structural and electrochemical methods in order to assess their possible use as electrodes for SOFCs. Neutron and X-ray powder diffraction experiments have shown that they are stable under both oxidizing and reducing conditions while chemically compatible with YSZ at SOFC operating temperatures. Moreover, the thermal expansion has been determined to be isotropic with alpha(1) = 10.0(3) x 10(-6) K-1. This value is similar to that found for other perovskite materials used in SOFCs. However, polarization resistances reveal modest values of electrochemical response under oxygen (1.5 Omega cm(2) at 900 degrees C) and are quite poor in 5%H-2/N-2 mixtures (15 Omega cm(2)) at the same temperature. Nevertheless, microstructure has not been optimized fully enough to discard the material as a potential SOFC cathode. Copyright (C) 2011, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
