Lanthanum Strontium Cobalt Ferrite Cathode Powder

Lanthanum Strontium Cobalt Ferrite (LSCF) is one of the two primary cathode materials used by Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) developers and manufacturers (LSM being the other). LSCF offers good performance at operating temperatures of 750°C and lower, which makes it a quality option for use with anode supported SOFCs. The LSCF powder is prepared with a slight A-site deficiency to improve its stability. LSCF can be used with zirconia (YSZ and ScSZ) ceria (GDC and SDC) and lanthanum gallate based electrolytes. A ceria barrier layer is recommended when using LSCF cathodes with zirconia based electrolytes. The LSCF cathode material can be applied by screen printing, painting or spraying after it is formulated into appropriate inks or suspensions. LSCF also can be mixed with one of the ceria-based electrolyte (GDC or SDC) to improve cathode performance.
