Composites consisting of strontium stabilized bismuth oxide (Bi1.14Sr0.43O2.14 SSB) and silver were investigated as cathodes for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells with doped ceria electrolyte. There were no chemical reactions between the two components. The microstructure of the interfaces between composite cathodes and Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.9 (SDC) electrolytes was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Impedance spectroscopy measurements show that the performance of cathode fired at 700℃ is the best. When the content of Ag2O is 70wt%, polarization resistance values for the SSB-Ag cathodes are as low as 0.2Ωcm2 at 700℃ and 0.29Ωcm2 at 650℃. These results are much smaller than some of other reported composite cathodes on doped ceria electrolyte and indicate that SSB-Ag composite is a potential cathode material for intermediate temperature SOFCs.
