Gold particle effect on high temperature oxygen reduction reaction via lanthanum strontium cobaltite ferrite electrocatalyst

Gold is generally considered to be inert for electrochemical reactions in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). It is thus used as the standard current collector to characterize the catalytic activity of various cathode materials including the state-of-the-art lanthanum strontium cobalt iron oxide (LSCF)....
