Applying mixed oxygen ionic and electronic conducting (MIEC) oxides as the cathode offers a promising solution to enhance the performance of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). However, the phase instability in CO₂-containing air and sluggish oxygen reduction activity of MIEC cathodes remain a long-term challenge for optimizing the electrochemical performance of SOFCs. Herein, a heterovalent co-doping strategy is proposed to enhance the oxygen reduction activity and CO₂ tolerance of SOFCs cathodes, which can be demonstrated by developing a novel BaCo_0.6Fe_0.4O_3-δ (BCF)-based MIEC oxide, BaCo_0.6Fe_0.2Sn_0.1Y_0.1O_3-δ (BCFSY). In addition to improving the stability of BCF-based perovskites, this strategy achieves an optimized balance of ionic mobility and oxygen vacancies due to the synergies between the effects of the co-dopants. Compared with single-doped materials, BCFSY exhibits improved CO₂ tolerance and considerably higher ORR activity, which is reflected in a significantly lower polarization resistance of 0.15 Ω cm² at 600 ℃. The results of this work provide an efficient tactic for designing electrode materials for SOFCs.
