The sluggish kinetics of the electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)in intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells(IT-SOFCs)greatly limits the overall cell performance.In this study,an efficient and durable cathode material for IT-SOFCs is designed based on density functional theory(DFT)calculations by co-doping with Nb and Ta the B-site of the SrFeO3-δ perovskite oxide.The DFT cal-culations suggest that Nb/Ta co-doping can regulate the energy band of the parent SrFeO3-δ and help electron transfer.In symmetrical cells,such cathode with a SrFe0.8Nb0.1Ta0.1O3-δ(SFNT)detailed formula achieves a low cathode polarization resistance of 0.147 Ω cm2 at 650 ℃.Electron spin resonance(ESR)and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)analysis confirm that the co-doping of Nb/Ta in SrFeO3-δB-site increases the balanced concentration of oxygen vacancies,enhancing the electrochemical perfor-mance when compared to 20 mol%Nb single-doped perovskite oxide.The cathode button cell with Ni-SDC|SDC|SFNT configuration achieves an outstanding peak power density of 1.3 W cm-2 at 650 ℃.Moreover,the button cell shows durability for 110 h under 0.65 V at 600 ℃ using wet H2 as fuel.
