Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ(BSCF)/Gd0.2Ce0.8O1.9(GDC) dual-gradient cathodes for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) were prepared via a spraying-sintering route, using corn starch as a pore-forming agent. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis results revealed that the BSCF and GDC showed good chemical compatibility even at 1200 °C. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results indicated that a graded pore structure, in addition to a gradient composition, can be obtained by regulating the dosage of the pore-forming agent. Consequently, the dual-gradient cathode possessed a low polarization r...
