abstract = {Solid oxide cells (SOCs) are crucial for transitioning to
green energy but face high-temperature degradation
challenges, in which catalyst agglomeration is one of the
major obstacle. Nanoparticle exsolution in double-perovskite
materials such as Sr2FeMo0.65Ni0.35O6-δ (SFM-Ni) offer a
promising solution by creating electrode materials with
uniformly dispersed, stable metallic FeNi3 nanocatalysts
strongly bonded to the parent oxide, mitigating
high-temperature agglomeration issues. Thus, understanding
the dynamic evolution of microstructure and catalytic
behavior in such materials is vital for developing
high-performing SOC catalysts. In this study, detailed
investigation using in situ electron microscopy was
conducted to elucidate the mechanisms of FeNi3 nanoparticle
exsolution on SFM-Ni under reducing conditions. In situ
environmental transmission electron microscopy (ETEM), in
situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) coupled with
mass spectrometry were employed to analyze exsolution
processes and their impact on catalytic performance, along
with other techniques. Electrochemical impedance
spectroscopy (EIS) measurements confirmed the enhanced
long-term performance of symmetrically fabricated
SFM-Ni/GDC/8YSZ/GDC/SFM-Ni cells and further scanning
electron microscopy (SEM) investigation of the operated
cells validated our findings at macro scale. Additionally,
focused ion beam-scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM)
tomography on the electrochemically operated cells revealed
various microstructural changes introduced due to the
exsolutions, underscoring the role of exsolution dynamics in
SOC performance. This study attempts to unravel the
mechanisms behind the formation of the uniformly dispersed
FeNi3 nano-exsolutions which significantly boost catalytic
efficiency of SFM-Ni electrodes. These insights can guide
the preparation of improved electrode materials for SOCs,
enhancing electrochemical performance at both the micro and
macro levels, advancing the field of sustainable energy
technologies.},
