Pulsed Laser Deposition Grown La0.3Ca0.7Fe0.7Cr0.3O3-δ Thin Films on Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia Substrates for Fundamental Electrochemical Energy Conversion Studies

La0.3Ca0.7Fe0.7Cr0.3O3-δ (LCFCr) perovskites, normally deposited as a powder-based ink to form porous electrode layers, have been shown to be exceptional catalysts for the electrochemical splitting of CO2 to form CO at one electrode and O2 at the other during electrolysis in solid oxide cells (SOCs), while also being highly active and stable under fuel cell conditions. This work constitutes the first report of thin film deposition of LCFCr via …
