About Lanthanum Strontium Cobalt Ferrite Cathode Powder

LanthanumStrontium Cobalt Ferrite Cathode Powder

Product Code: 6211627

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 750C 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 itsstability. 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 cathodematerial can be applied by screen printing, painting or spraying after it is formulated in to appropriate inks or suspensions. LSCF also can be mixed with one of theceria-based electrolyte (GDC or SDC) to improve cathode performance.

Technical Specifications:

• Formulation: (La_0.60Sr_0.40)_0.95Co_0.20Fe_0.80O_3-X
• Surface Area: 4 - 8 m/g

High Purity and Controlled Particle Size

With a purity of 99.9%, Lanthanum Strontium Cobalt Ferrite Cathode Powder ensures minimal impurities, vital for high-performance electrochemical applications. Particle size is customizable between 100 nanometers and 5 micrometers, optimizing the powder for specific research and industrial needs. This level of control provides consistent results in SOFC and sensor manufacturing.


Optimal Storage and Handling

To maintain its chemical stability and surface characteristics, this powder should be stored in a cool, dry environment in a tightly sealed container. These precautions prevent moisture uptake (less than 0.5% moisture guaranteed) and extend the product's usable life, safeguarding its physical and chemical integrity for demanding applications.


Versatile Applications in Advanced Technologies

Lanthanum Strontium Cobalt Ferrite Cathode Powder is utilized as a cathode material in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells, as well as in various electrochemical and sensing applications. Its perovskite structure enhances performance in electrocatalysis by providing active sites for oxygen reduction, supporting advances in renewable energy and sensor technologies across research and industry.
