In this study, the phase synthesis and electrochemical properties of A/A//A///B2O5+d (A/: Lanthanide, A//: Ba, and A//: Sr) layered perovskites in which Pr and Sm were substituted at the A/-site were investigated for cathode materials of Intermediate Temperature-Operating Solid Oxide Fuel cells (IT-SOFC). In the PrxSm1−xBa0.5Sr0.5Co2O5+d (x = 0.1–0.9) systems, tetragonal (x 0.5Sm0.5Ba0.5Sr0.5Co2O5+d (PSBSCO55), showing a tetragonal crystalline structure, had the lowest conductivity values. However, the Area-Specific Resistance (ASR) of PSBSCO55 was found to be 0.10 Ω cm2 at 700 °C, which is lower than those of the other compositions.
