The phase and micro-structure of YCBCF were investigated by X-ray diffraction （XRD） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, respectively. The aver-age thermal expansion coefficient （TEC） of YCBCF was 14.6×10–6 K–1, which was close to other materials of SOFC at the range of RT–1000 oC. An open-circuit potential of 0.75 V and a maximum output power density of 426 mW/cm2 were obtained at 650 oC in a Sm0.2Ce0.8O1.9 （SDC）-based anode-supported SOFC by using humidified （~3%H2O） hydrogen as fuel and static air as oxidant. The results indicated that the YCBCF was a promising cathode candidate for IT-SOFCs.展开更多
