About Lanthanum Nickel Cobaltite Cathode Powder
LanthanumNickel Cobaltite Cathode Powder
Product Code: 6211623
LanthanumNickel Cobaltite (LNC) is a high conductivity material that typically is usedas a cathode contact paste (to improve cathode current collection) in Solid OxideFuel Cell (SOFC) stacks. LNC also can be used for the same purpose insingle-cell SOFC testing. Compared to lanthanum strontium cobaltite, LNC hasbetter thermal stability, lower thermal expansion and equivalent electricalconductivity. LNC also can be considered as a cathode material, when mixed withone of our ceria-based electrolyte powders (GDC or SDC).
Typical Applications:
- Ink fabrication for screen printing applications
- Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) cathode fabrication for electrolyte and anode supported cells
- Low temperature applications
- Current conducing material for multilayer cathodes
Technical Specifications:
- Formulation: La0.95Ni0.60Co0.40O3
- Surface Area: 4 - 8 m/g
- Particle Size (D50): 0.7 - 1.1 microns (um)
