The IR drop and electrode overpotential of the cell were measured separately by the current interruption method. The dc conductivity values of the electrolyte between 150 and 300°C , estimated from the IR drop, were comparable to the ac conductivity values (1.48×10^−1-1.95×10^−1 Scm^−1) of the electrolyte. The cell performance was improved by forming an intermediate layer consisting of Sn0.9In0.1P2O7 and Pt/C catalyst powders at the interface between the electrolyte and cathode, which significantly reduced the cathode polarization. As a result, the peak power density reached 264mWcm^−2 at 250°C using the 0.35-mm -thick electrolyte. The present fuel cell also showed high stability at low relative humidities (pH2O≈0.0075atm) and 10% CO concentration.}, pages = {A897--A901}, title = {Performance of an Intermediate-Temperature Fuel Cell Using a Proton-Conducting Sn0.9In0.1P2O7 Electrolyte}, volume = {153}, year = {2006} }
