(LSCF) nanoparticles are formed in micropores of -yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) cathodes by reaction-infiltration method. Bismuth nitrate is added in the precursor nitrate solution for LSCF as the reaction promoter. The LSCF phase is observed at by the addition of bismuth nitrate, and about particle size LSCF(Bi) is homogenously distributed on the LSM-YSZ surface. The electrode impedance of LSM-YSZ/YSZ/LSM-YSZ cells is examined and has found that the electrode polarization resistance is extremely reduced by the LSCF(Bi) infiltration in LSM-YSZ. The performance of the anode support fuel cell of Ni-YSZ/YSZ/LSM-YSZ is examined at . The LSCF(Bi) infiltrated LSM-YSZ cathode significantly enhanced the cell performance with a fuel at . The maximum power density of is attended.
