abstract = {Proton conducting fuel and electrolysis cells (PCF/ECs)
emerge as a technology energy conversion (gas to power) and
reliable large-scale electricity storage in the form of
hydrogen gas (power to gas). The fabrication of proton
conducting electrolysis cells is associated with numerous
constraints arising during the fabrication and operation,
such as electrode layer cracking, delamination, and warpage
due to thermo-chemical mismatching. According to Løken,
this mismatch should not exceed $50\%$ to avoid thermal
stress leading to cracks and delamination [1]. Forming a
cer-cer or a cer-met composite of the electrode and the
electrolyte is a common way to address these issues. Hence,
in the present work we focus on the development and the
electrochemical characterization of an air electrode cer-cer
composite by direct mixing of BaCo0.4Fe0.4Zr0.2O3-δ
(BCFZ442) and BaZr0.7Ce0.2Y0.1O3-δ (BZCY721) powders in
various ratios (50:50, 70:30, and 90:10 wt $\%$ ,
respectively). We examined their chemical compatibility at
various sintering temperatures through X-ray diffraction
analysis. We then screen-printed the so-prepared air
electrode composite pastes on both sides of sintered BZCY721
pellets serving as the electrolyte, thus forming symmetric
cells after sintering the electrodes. The cross-sectional
scanning electron microscopic (SEM) views collected on the
symmetrical cell before and after the operation/measurements
showed a good adherence between the electrolyte and the
electrode and an electrode/electrolyte interface with a
porous structure, availing the accessible path for gas
diffusion. The electrochemical impedance of the symmetrical
cells was measured from 400-700 oC at 50 oC intervals by
Impedance spectroscopy with wet air $(3\%$ H2O) in the
frequency range of 0.1 Hz to 1 MHz. The total cell
resistance, which represents the polarization and ohmic
resistance, decreases as expected with the temperature
increases and it was studied as a function of the electrode
composition as well.[1] Løken Andreas, Ricote Sandrine,
