Sr-doped LaMnO3 (LSM) which is the first-generation cathode for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) has been tailored with Zn ions, aiming to achieve improved protonation ability proton-conducting SOFCs (H-SOFCs). The new Sr and co-doped (LSMZ) can be successfully synthesized. first-principle studies indicate that LSMZ improves of LSM decreases barriers oxygen vacancy formation, leading high perform...
