BaIn0.3Ti0.7O2.85 (BIT07) is a new electrolyte material for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). Its use with the cathode material La0.58Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3鈭?em>未 (LSCF) is advantageous due to their reaction (above 1000 掳C) that leads to the formation of perovskite compounds called BLSITCFx (BaxLa0.58(1鈭?em>x)Sr0.4(1鈭?em>x)In0.3xTi0.7xCo0.2(1鈭?em>x)Fe0.8(1鈭?em>x)O3鈭?em>未, with 0 鈮?#xA0;x 鈮?#xA0;1) at the cathode/electrolyte interface. In this study, the influence of the cathode microstructure on its performance has been investigated, by varying the cathode parameters. An area specific resistance (ASR) value of 0.07 惟 cm2 at 700 掳C has been reached and more generally the cathodes exhibit good performance (below 0.2 惟 cm2) for a large range of thermal treatments, cathode grain sizes and thicknesses. An ageing study realised at 700 掳C for 320 h showed an ageing rate of 0.125% h鈭?.
