Here, we report a new perovskite oxide with formula Sm₀.₈Sr₀.₂Fe₀.₈Ti₀.₁₅Ru₀.₀₅O₃₋δ (SSFTR), which exhibits a great potential as a symmetrical electrode material with satisfying stability in both reducing and oxidizing environments. Moreover, SSFTR exhibits good redox and thermal cycle stability. The electrolyte-supported (Sm₀.₂Ce₀.₈O₁.₉, SDC) symmetrical cell with SSFTR electrodes possesses a peak power density of 271 mW·cm–² at 800 °C in wet H₂. Moreover, the peak power density is remarkably improved to 417 mW·cm–² when applying A-site-deficient perovskite oxide Sm₀.₇Sr₀.₂Fe₀.₈Ti₀.₁₅Ru₀.₀₅O₃₋δ as the symmetrical electrode, benifiting by the in situ-exsolved Ru nanoparticles with excellent electrocatalytic activity, since A-site deficiency can provide additional driving force for the exsolution of B-site cations upon reduction. As an ingenious approach, this exsolution of electrocatalytically active nanoparticles on the surface of electrode may be applicable to the development of other excellent performance electrodes for symmetrical SOFCs and other electrochemical systems.
