abstract = {(La,Sr)(Co,Fe)O$_{3-δ}$ is one of the most potential
cathode materials for solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC)
applications. Sr in this type of cathode material is very
reactive to form secondary phases with other oxides, which
affect micro structures and properties of the cathode
material, the GDC layer and the ZrO$_{2}$-based electrolyte.
The Sr related degradation issues, Cr poisoning and volatile
Sr species formation, are studied. As supplement to existing
experimental knowledge on Cr poisoning, specific
thermodynamic aspects for Cr poisoning are discussed. The
thermodynamic calculations show that pCrO$_{3}$ has a
stronger temperature dependence than pCrO$_{2}$(OH)$_{2}$,
and when considering the reaction between SrO and
CrO$_{3}$(g), dependent on different pCrO$_{3}$ and local
pO$_{2}$ in the cathode, different Sr-Cr-O secondary phases
SrCrO$_{4}$,SrCrO$_{3}$, Sr$_{3}$Cr$_{2}$O$_{8}$ or
Sr$_{2}$CrO$_{4}$ could be formed. Additionally,
thermodynamic calculations show that in the presence of
water vapor, formation of volatile Sr(OH)$_{2}$ is possible
as well. pSr(OH)$_{2}$ depends on temperature, pH$_{2}$O and
SrO activity, and can be of the same order of magnitude as
pCrO$_{2}$(OH)$_{2}$. Volatile Sr(OH)$_{2}$ diffuse through
the porous GDC layer and react with ZrO$_{2}$-based
electrolytes to form SrZrO$_{3}$ precipitates. The reaction
between gaseous Sr species and an 8YSZ sheet is studied
experimentally. The surface of the 8YSZ sheet is
investigated by SEM coupled with EDS, confirming the
deposition of Sr. Since the reaction between the gaseous Sr
species and 8YSZ depends on theZrO$_{2}$ activity in 8YSZ,
the ZrO$_{2}$ activity in 8YSZ is measured by Knudsen
Effusion Mass Spectrometry. The measured aZrO$_{2}$ shows no
temperature dependence, which is around 0.85. A high
ZrO$_{2}$ activity in 8YSZ facilitates the reaction between
the gaseous Sr species and 8YSZ from a thermodynamic point
of view. In addition, first principles phonon calculations
combined with quasi-harmonic approximation (QHA) are used to
predict the thermal expansion of
La$_{0.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$Co$_{0.25}$Fe$_{0.75}$O$_{3}$ (LSCF55).
Within the framework of the QHA, the volumetric thermal
expansion coefficient of LSCF55 is calculated as
$\alpha_{𝑉,𝐺𝐺𝐴}$ = 50.34 ∗ 10$^{−6}$
𝐾$^{−1}$. For comparison, the lattice expansion and the
volume expansion of LSCF55 grain are measured by in-situ
high temperature X-ray diffractometer (HT-XRD). An
anisotropic thermal expansion of rhombohedral LSCF55 with
$\alpha_{𝑎,ℎ𝑒𝑥}$ = 10.89 ∗ 10$^{−6}$
𝐾$^{−1}$ and $\alpha_{𝑐,ℎ𝑒𝑥}$ = 21.18 ∗
10$^{−6}$ 𝐾$^{−1}$ is obtained. The volumetric
thermal expansion coefficient is measured as
$\alpha_{𝑉,𝐻𝑇−𝑋𝑅𝐷}$ = 43.17 ∗
10$^{−6}$ 𝐾$^{−1}$. Additionally, the effectively
isotropic expansion coefficients of a polycrystalline LSCF55
bar specimen are measured using a vertical high-performance
thermo-mechanical analyzer and yield
$\alpha_{𝑙,𝑏𝑎𝑟
𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑛}$ = 17.37 ∗ 10$^{−6}$
𝐾$^{−1}$ and $\alpha_{𝑉,𝑏𝑎𝑟
𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑛}$ = 52.11 ∗ 10$^{−6}$
𝐾$^{−1}$. A Good agreement between the calculated and
measured values of $\alpha_{𝑉}$ is obtained.},
