Porous (LSC) electrodes having Sr composition (LSC-64) and (LSC-82) were fabricated on Sm-doped ceria electrolytes, and studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy between and. The faradaic portion of the impedance was found to exhibit Gerischer or Gerischer-like characteristics, indicating colimitation by kinetics and transport. The characteristic resistance and frequency response was analyzed using a transport and reaction model that considers parallel bulk and surface diffusion of oxygen, as well as three-dimensional transport effects near the electrode electrolyte interface. In the case of LSC-64, measured characteristics appear to be largely consistent with a bulk transport path, based on independent measurements of the thermodynamic, kinetic, and transport properties of LSC-64. In the case of LSC-82, which has a much lower bulk vacancy concentration under the same conditions, results …
