Abstract   Electrochemical properties of La0.58Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-delta (LSCF) thin films with well defined microstructures have been investigated. Symmetrical cells were characterized by impedance spectroscopy in the temperature range from 625 to 750 degrees C and the oxygen partial pressure, range from 10(-2) to 1 atm. The area specific resistance for dense films was invariant with thicknesses between 130 and 1200 nm indicating oxygen surface exchange as the process limiting oxygen transport in the films. The capacitances deduced from the impedance data show a linear dependence with the film thickness. Values were as high as 0.2 F cm(-2) suggesting a chemical capacitance. The oxygen non-stoichiometry was calculated using the measured chemical capacitance and a defect chemistry model. While dense films have an area specific resistance of 8 Omega cm(2) at 750 degrees C, porous films with an increase of the surface area by 26 times have only an area specific resistance of 0.38 Omega cm(2). It is shown that the polarization resistance of thin films is approximately proportional to the inverse of the surface area of the porous cathodes in the temperature regime 625 to 750 degrees C. The activation energy of the surface oxygen exchange process depends on the thin film microstructure as it decreased from 2.4 eV for dense films to 1.6 eV for porous films.
