Brownmillerite oxide Ca<sub>2</sub>Fe<sub>2−<i>x</i></sub>Co<i><sub>x</sub></i>O<sub>5</sub> (<i>x</i> = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6) was characterized by XRD, SEM and electrochemical impedance spectrum (EIS), respectively. Ca<sub>2</sub>Fe<sub>2−<i>x</i></sub>Co<i><sub>x</sub></i>O<sub>5</sub> has no reaction with Sm<sub>0.2</sub>Ce<sub>0.8</sub>O<sub>1.9</sub> (SDC) electrolyte at 1100 °C for 10 h in air. The thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) of Ca<sub>2</sub>Fe<sub>2−<i>x</i></sub>Co<i><sub>x</sub></i>O<sub>5</sub> increased with increasing Co content, and the TEC value was compatible with SDC. The electrode properties of Ca<sub>2</sub>Fe<sub>2−<i>x</i></sub>Co<i><sub>x</sub></i>O<sub>5</sub> were studied under various temperatures and oxygen partial pressures. The polarization resistance (<i>R</i><sub>p</sub>) of Ca<sub>2</sub>Fe<sub>2−<i>x</i></sub>Co<i><sub>x</sub></i>O<sub>5</sub> with <i>x</i> = 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 are 0.23, 0.48 and 1.05 Ω cm<sup>2</sup> at 700 °C in air, respectively. The rate-limiting step for oxygen reduction reaction was the charge transfer process. Ca<sub>2</sub>Fe<sub>1.8</sub>Co<sub>0.2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> cathode exhibits the lowest overpotential of about 50 mV at a current density of 70 mA cm<sup>−2</sup> at 700 °C in air.< Réduire
