FUEL CELL
First Claim
1. A fuel cell comprising;
- an anode,a cathode containing a perovskite oxide as a main component, the perovskite oxide expressed by the general formula ABO3 and including La and Sr at the A site, anda solid electrolyte layer disposed between the anode and the cathode,the cathode having a surface on opposite side to the solid electrolyte layer, anda first ratio of a Sr concentration relative to an La concentration being less than or equal to 4 times a second ratio of the Sr concentration relative to the La concentration,the first ratio being detected by use of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy on the surface of the cathode, the second ratio of a Sr concentration relative to a La concentration being detected by use of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy on an exposed surface,the exposed surface being exposed by surface processing of the surface,the exposed surface being positioned within 5 nm of the surface in relation to a direction of thickness.

Abstract
The fuel cell according to the present invention has an anode, a cathode and a solid electrolyte layer. The cathode contains a perovskite oxide as a main component. The perovskite oxide is expressed by the general formula ABO3 and including La and Sr at the A site. The solid electrolyte layer is disposed between the anode and the cathode. The cathode has a surface on opposite side to the solid electrolyte layer. A first ratio of a Sr concentration relative to an La concentration is less than or equal to 4 times a second ratio of the Sr concentration relative to the La concentration. The first ratio is detected by use of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy on the surface of the cathode. The second ratio of a Sr concentration relative to a La concentration is detected by use of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy on an exposed surface. The exposed surface is exposed by surface processing of the surface. The exposed surface is positioned within 5 nm of the surface in relation to a direction of thickness.
