Perovskite Sr1鈥?i>xCexCoO3鈭捨?/sub> (0.05 鈮?x 鈮?0.15) have been prepared by a sol鈥揼el method and studied as cathodes for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells. As SOFC cathodes, Sr1鈥?i>xCexCoO3鈭捨?/sub> materials have sufficiently high electronic conductivities and excellent chemical compatibility with SDC electrolyte. The peak power density of cells with Sr0.95Ce0.05CoO3鈭捨?/sub> is 0.625 W cm鈥? at 700 掳C. By forming a composite cathode with an oxygen ion conductor SDC, the peak power density of the cell with Sr0.95Ce0.05CoO3鈭捨?/sub>-30 wt %SDC composite cathode, reaches 1.01 W cm鈥? at 700 掳C, better than that of Sm0.5Sr0.5CoO3-based cathode. All these results demonstrates that Sr1鈥?i>xCexCoO3鈭捨?/sub> (0.05 鈮?x 鈮?0.15)-based materials are promising cathodes for an IT-SOFC.
