Abstract

Thin (150 and 600 nm) electrode players of mixed p-type conducting Ce//0//. //7Tb//0//. //3O//1//. //8//5// plus //y (CT30) were RF-sputtered onto ionic conducting ceramic Zr//0//. //5Gd//0//. //5O//1//. //7//5 substrates (ZG50s). Electrode polarization of the electrode combination P//O//2 /Au/CT30/ZG50s was studied in a three electrode device. Cathodic polarizations prevail over anodic ones. The electrode resistance decreased in the presence of sputtered layers. However, p-type conducting CT30 layers did not improve the electrode behaviour. The thermal activation energy of working electrodes including CT30 layers is about 125 kJ mol** minus **1 irrespective of layer thickness and P//O//2 value. The results suggest a rate determining mechanism with oxygen adsorption at the oxide layers followed by a diffusion step.
