La0.6Sr0.4FeO3−δ (LSF) electrodes were grown on different electrolyte substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and their oxygen exchange reaction (OER) resistance was tracked in real-time by in situ PLD impedance spectroscopy (i-PLD) inside the PLD chamber. This enables measurements on pristine surfaces free from any contaminations and the direct observation of thickness dependent properties. As substrates, yttria-stabilized zirconia single crystals (YSZ) were used for polycrystalline LSF growth and La0.95Sr0.05Ga0.95Mg0.05O3−δ (LSGM) single crystals or YSZ single crystals with a 5 nm buffer-layer of Gd0.2Ce0.8O2−δ for epitaxial LSF film growth. While polycrystalline LSF electrodes show a constant OER resistance in a broad thickness range, epitaxially grown LSF electrodes exhibit a continuous and strong increase of the OER resistance with film thickness until ≈60 nm. In addition, the activation energy of the OER resistance increases by 0.23 eV compared to polycrystalline LSF. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements reveal an increasing contraction of the out-of-plane lattice parameter in the epitaxial LSF electrodes over electrode thickness. Defect thermodynamic simulations suggest that the decrease of the LSF unit cell volume is accompanied by a lowering of the oxygen vacancy concentration, explaining both the resistive increase and the increased activation energy.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
