After LSCM55 treated in H S or H -H S, XRD patterns show that some 2 2 2 29 January 2012 impurities similar to La O S and MnOS are present. XPS spectra identify that S species in 2 2 Accepted 1 February 2012 the impurities dominate on the anode catalysts in form of sulfate (SO2), which depends on 4 Available online 3 March 2012 the treatments. S2p and O1s regions in XPS reveal that in the absence of oxyge
