Chemical and thermomechanical compatibility between neodymium manganites and electrolytes based on ceria

The goal of this work was to study the thermal expansion behaviour and to establish the phase relations between NdMe0.5Mn0.5O3 (Me=Ni, Co) solid solutions as cathodes and two electrolytes based on Ce0.9Gd0.1O1.95. Doping of electrolyte with 1.0 wt% Bi2O3 was employed in order to improve the densific...
