Exsolution of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) from oxide supports offers a novel approach to design high-performance materials in the field of heterogeneous catalysis and energy conversion and storage. Here, we report the homogenous exsolution of Pd NPs with an average size of 100 nm in compressive strained La0.6Sr0.4Fe0.9Pd0.1O3-δ (LSFPd) thin films. We systematically explored the electrical resistivity and the redox stability of LSFPd thin films upon exsolution of NPs. Compared to La0.6Sr0.4FeO3-δ (LSF) thin films, whose electrical response was controlled by oxygen stoichiometry, LSFPd films showed a more stable electrical response in redox cycling with similar resistivity values both in air and hydrogen. The improved stability was attributed to dynamic and exsolution of NPs. Our study showed that the control of exsolution of NPs can provide a new way to regulate the electrical response of perovskite oxide semiconductors under external stimuli (i.e., atmosphere), which could be beneficial for the rational design of high-performance functional materials for micro solid oxide fuel cells, nano-sensors, and nano-actuators applications.

Abstract

Exsolution of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) from oxide supports offers a novel approach to design high-performance materials in the field of heterogeneous catalysis and energy conversion and storage. Here, we report the homogenous exsolution of Pd NPs with an average size of 100 nm in compressive strained La0.6Sr0.4Fe0.9Pd0.1O3-δ (LSFPd) thin films. We systematically explored the electrical resistivity and the redox stability of LSFPd thin films upon exsolution of NPs. Compared to La0.6Sr0.4FeO3-δ (LSF) thin films, whose electrical response was controlled by oxygen stoichiometry, LSFPd films showed a more stable electrical response in redox cycling with similar resistivity values both in air and hydrogen. The improved stability was attributed to dynamic and exsolution of NPs. Our study showed that the control of exsolution of NPs can provide a new way to regulate the electrical response of perovskite oxide semiconductors under external stimuli (i.e., atmosphere), which could be beneficial for the rational design of high-performance functional materials for micro solid oxide fuel cells, nano-sensors, and nano-actuators applications.
