The transfer of chromium from metallic components into the cathode of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) can severely degrade its performance and is known as 'chromium poisoning'. In this study we investigate the relationship between the amount of chromium introduced into La 0.6 Sr 0.4 Co 0.2 Fe 0.8 O 3-δ , LSCF (6428), c…
