摘要
The electrochemical behavior of the La<sub>0.8sub>Sr<sub>0.2sub>MnO<sub>3鈭?em>未m>sub>/Zr<sub>0.92sub>Y<sub>0.08sub>O<sub>2sub> (LSM/YSZ) porous composite anodes in solid oxide electrolysis cell is investigated by impedance spectroscopy over an oxygen partial pressure (m>pm>O<sub>2sub>) range from 0 to 0.6 脳 10<sup>5sup> Pa. The differential analysis of impedance spectra (DIS) shows three separate arcs which correspond to three different electrode processes at high, intermediate and low frequencies, respectively. Three different electrode processes can be attributed to the migration of oxygen ions from the electrolyte to the triple-phase boundary, concentration impedance associated with dissociative desorption of O<sup>2鈭?/sup> along the LSM surface and diffusion of oxygen, respectively. Interestingly, under low m>pm>O<sub>2sub> (鈮? Pa), the impedance arcs become clearly separated at different frequencies, especially for the anodes with higher porosity. Meanwhile, the results demonstrate that the electrode process associated with the low-frequency arc is strongly affected by m>pm>O<sub>2sub>. Furthermore, the porosity plays an important role in dissociative adsorption and diffusion of oxygen.
