A fruitful Research line of our group corresponds to  materials for <\/strong>energy-conversion devices<\/strong>, in particular electrodes for solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFC), since many of the oxides that traditionally were studied from the magnetic or electronic point of view (superconducting, colossal magneto-resistant oxides…) find applications, with subtle modifications, as electrodes in these electrochemical devices.<\/p>\n

In particular, the wide family of transition-metal oxides with perovskite structure presents a rich panoply of polyvalent materials that fulfill most of the features required for mixed ionic-electronic conductor (MIEC) oxides. In the last years we have developed innovative cathode and anode materials that have allowed us to achieve impressive performances in electrolyte-supported fuel cells.<\/p>\n

Some of the classic transition metal oxides with perovskite structure such as SrFeO3-<\/sub>d<\/sub>, LaNiO3<\/sub> or SrCoO3-<\/sub>d<\/sub>, have been well-known since the fifties for their elevated electronic conductivity and oxygen diffusion properties; the introduction of selected doping elements into the structure has allowed us, during our research work in the last few years, to stabilize their crystal structures at the working temperature of the SOFC\u2019s while preserving the required transport properties. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These investigations have resulted in competitive cathode and anode materials that, once integrated into single fuel cells, surpass the power-density target for intermediate-temperature SOFCs using some selected double perovskites as anodes.<\/p>\n

Among the different materials designed, prepared and tested in single SOFC cells, we can mention the examples of  SrCo1-x<\/sub>Sbx<\/sub>O3<\/sub>, SrCo1-x<\/sub>Mox<\/sub>O3<\/sub> and Sr0.7<\/sub>Y0.3<\/sub>CoO3<\/sub> as cathodes and SrMo1-x<\/sub>Fex<\/sub>O3<\/sub> or SrMo1-x<\/sub>Crx<\/sub> as anodes; all of them are MIEC electrodes that allow decreasing the working T of operation of the SOFCs.<\/p>\n
