Mechanistic Analysis of the Oxygen Reduction Reaction at (La,Sr)MnO<sub>3</sub> Cathodes in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The primary aim of this work was to establish the mechanism of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at (La(0.8)Sr(0.2))0.98MnO3 (LSM)-based cathodes in solid oxide fuel cells. Rate equations, based on the Butler-Volmer equation and employing either Langmuir or Temkin adsorption conditions for reactant and intermediate species, were derived, yielding predicted reaction orders and transfer coefficients. Experimental data were collected using half-cell cyclic voltammetry in a variable pO2 atmosphere (0.03 to 1 atm) at 600 to 900 degrees C, using both dense and porous LSM-based cathodes, employed to establish the impact of the accessibility of the active site on cathode activity. The rate of the ORR at dense LSM has been found to be limited by the dissociation of O(2ads)- at low currents and by the first electron-transfer step, reducing O(2ads) to O(2ads)-, at high currents. However, at porous LSM cathodes, the reaction mechanism is more difficult to deduce because the electrode morphology impacts significantly on the measured kinetic and mechanistic parameters, giving anomalous transfer coefficients of <0.5.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
