A layered perovskite, NdBaMn₂O_5+δ (NBMO), was synthesized by solid state reaction method in air. Rietveld analysis of X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) data showed the material crystallizing in orthorhombic symmetry (Pmmm space group). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to check the morphology and, the analysis of the micrographs exhibited a porous structure with in-situ growth of nanoparticles. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) measurements from 600 °C to 800 °Cshows the highest conductivity value of 1.17 × 10⁻¹ S/cm obtained at 800 °C with low activation energy (E_a) of 0.3 eV in air. In 5% H₂/Ar gas mixture, the conductivity and activation energy values were 1.97 × 10⁻² S/cm and 0.4 eV, respectively at 800 °C. The DC conductivity measurements also showed that this material is highly conductive in air with a conductivity value of 0.75 S/cm at 850 °C. Dual chamber fuel cell …
