Ba0.5Sr0.5(Co0.8Fe0.2)(1 - x)TixO3-delta (X = 0, 0.05, and 0.1) materials were successfully prepared via an improved solid-state reaction route in an attempt to get better chemical stability for Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3 - delta (BSCF). Stability tests showed that the novel Ti-doping strategy can effectively increase the chemical stability for Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3 - delta in CO2-containing environments. The larger the Ti doping amount, the better the chemical stability. Ti-doped samples showed only a slight increase in area specific resistance (ASR) values, as shown from electrochemical tests performed on symmetrical cells. Therefore, anode-supported single fuel cells using BaZr0.4Ce0.4Y0.2O3 - delta (BZCY) as the electrolyte and BZCY-Ba0.5Sr0.5(Co0.8Fe0.2)(0.9)Ti0.1O3 - delta as the composite cathode, were fabricated and tested. The measured maximum power density values were 181, 116, and 49 mW cm(-2) at 700, 600, and 500 degrees C, respectively.
