Abstract

This work examines the reactivity of a potentially promising SOFC cathode material, La0.5Ba0.5CoO3-δ (LBC), under CO2 atmosphere. Through a combination of different techniques-thermogravimetric analysis, ex situ XRD analyses of reacted products, and in situ XRD analysis-the reaction pathway and kinetics for LBC carbonation is investigated. The thermodynamic phase boundary for carbonate formation in the LBC-CO2 system has been generated and fundamental thermodynamic parameters-the standard state enthalpy (ΔH°) and the standard state entropy (ΔS°)-are determined.
