Cathode thickness plays a major role in establishing an active area for an oxygen reduction reaction in energy converter devices, such as solid oxide fuel cells. In this work, we prepared SrFe0.9Ti0.1O3−δ–Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.9 composite cathodes with different layers (1×, 3×, 5×, 7×, and 9× layer). The microstructural and electrochemical performance of each cell was then explored through scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). EIS analysis showed that the area-specific resistance (ASR) decreased from 0.65 Ωcm2 to 0.12 Ωcm2 with the increase in the number of layers from a 1× to a 7×. However, the ASR started to slightly increase at the 9× layer to 2.95 Ωcm2 due to a higher loss of electrode polarization resulting from insufficient gas diffusion and transport. Therefore, increasing the number of cathode layers could increase the performance of the cathode by enlarging the active area for the reaction up to the threshold point.
