Cubic perovskite Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0. 8Fe0.1R0.1O3–δ (R=Fe, Nb, Mo, Sb) was synthesized, and the chemical stability under high oxygen partial pressure (p(O2)) was studied by using HT-XRD in the temperature range of 773-1373 K. It was found that Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0. 8Fe0.1Sb0.1O3–δ was remarkably stable than Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0. 8Fe0.2O3–δ and Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0. 8Fe0.1Mo0.1O3–δ in high p(O2) condition. The effect of B-site substitution on the CO2-tolerance of Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0. 8Fe0.1R0.1O3–δ was also investigated by TG-DTA analysis at 300-1373 K. It was demonstrated that the chemical stability of Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0. 8Fe0.2O3–δ against CO2 could be significantly improved when Fe were partially substituted by Nb or Sb ions.
