Design, Synthesis, Structure and Properties of Ba-Doped Derivatives of SrCo<sub>0.95</sub>Ru<sub>0.05</sub>O<sub>3−δ</sub> Perovskite as Cathode Materials for SOFCs

We have designed and prepared a novel cathode material for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) based on SrCo<sub>0.95</sub>Ru<sub>0.05</sub>O<sub>3&#8722;&#948;</sub> perovskite. We have partially replaced Sr by Ba in Sr<sub>0.9</sub>Ba<sub>0.1&...
