DEGRADATION MECHANISMS IN SOLID OXIDE ELECTROLYSIS ANODES: Cr POISONING AND CATION INTERDIFFUSION grains separated by only a couple of microns but contrasting La/Co ratios. This indicates inhomogeneous segregation of the A and B site cations in the LSC layer or dissociation of LSC over the period of operation. STEM/EDX analysis also revealed segregation of the cations at a higher resolution. The results suggest that La and Cr are in some sort of chemical phase together and regions with higher Cr content have high La and a low Co content. All the results suggest that the LSC bond layer has severely dissociated into secondary phases. Besides, harmful phases formed by the Cr-containing species such as Cr 2 O 3 , etc., are also seen in the bond layer. These secondary phases hamper the activity of the SOEC and are directly responsible for the loss in their performance.
