Description This project was successful in developing new cathode materials for solid oxide fuel cell technology. The strategy involved increasing the oxygen vacancies within the cathode material structure to improve the amount of oxygen ion migration/mobility through this device, thus increasing its overall current capacity. This was achieved by investigating the ability of these materials to be doped with CO3, BO3 and SO4 to stimulate an increase in the oxygen vacancies within the parent structure.
Exploitation Route These published findings (and those still to be submitted for publication) are valuable contributions to the field of solid oxide fuel cell technology.
