Catalytically active atomic layers for electrodes of reversible solid oxide cells

Abstract

In one aspect, the disclosure relates to electrodes with a Ruddlesden-Popper phase scaffold and a catalyst coating, symmetrical cells and single electrochemical cells comprising the same, and devices incorporating the same. The Ruddlesden-Popper phase scaffold can be or include Pr2−xBaxNiO4+δ, wherein 0≤x≤0.4, while the catalyst coating can be a transition metal, transition metal oxide, or perovskite material applied to the scaffold using atomic layer deposition or another means. In an aspect, the catalyst coating can be conformal or non-conformal.
