(La 0.6 Sr 0.4 ) 0.99 CoO 3− δ is a very promising cathode material due to its excellent electronic and ionic conductivity. However, non-artificial air from the ambient atmosphere contains impurities such as H 2 O and CO 2 , which cause degradation and performance loss of the cathode. Introduction of Ti into the B-site of (La 0.6 Sr 0.4 ) 0.99 CoO 3− δ improves the chemical stability of the material. (La 0.6 Sr 0.4 ) 0.99 Co 1−x Ti x O 3− δ (0 ≤ x ≥ 0.1) electrodes prepared in this work were analyzed using X-ray diffraction method (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Studied (La 0.6 Sr 0.4 ) 0.99 CoO 3− δ materials with Ti in B-site showed reversible degradation under gas mixture with carbon dioxide addition. Improved stability was observed for (La 0.6 Sr 0.4 ) 0.99 Co 1−x Ti x O 3− δ materials with Ti in B-site compared to unmodified (La 0.6 Sr 0.4 ) 0.99 CoO 3− δ in gas mixture containing water vapour.
