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.

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.

FAQ's of Lanthanum Strontium Cobalt Ferrite Cathode Powder:

Q: How should Lanthanum Strontium Cobalt Ferrite Cathode Powder be stored to preserve its quality?

A: To ensure optimal performance, this powder must be kept in a cool, dry location within a tightly sealed container. This prevents moisture absorption and contamination, preserving its chemical properties and specific surface area.

Q: What are the primary applications for La0.6Sr0.4CoO3 powder?

A: La0.6Sr0.4CoO3 is mainly used as a cathode material in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs), in electrocatalysis, and in sensor fabrication. Its ceramic perovskite oxide structure provides excellent catalytically active sites for these advanced applications.

Q: When should I use custom particle sizing, and how does it benefit my process?

A: Custom particle sizing (from 100 nm to 5 m) can be requested based on your application requirements. Finer particles increase surface area for faster electrochemical reactions, while larger particles improve mechanical handling. Choosing the right size optimizes performance for your specific research or manufacturing process.

Q: Where is this cathode powder commonly supplied and used?

A: This multifunctional material is available to research institutions, manufacturers, and industrial users across the United States through distributors, suppliers, and retailers specializing in advanced ceramic and energy materials.

Q: What is the benefit of the high purity (99.9%) grade for my application?

A: High purity minimizes unwanted side reactions and ensures consistent performance in sensitive electrochemical applications like SOFCs and sensors. It supports reproducibility and efficiency, especially in research and industrial-scale production.

Q: How is the specific surface area measured, and why does it matter?

A: The specific surface area is measured using the BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) method, which helps assess how much active surface is available for reactions. A higher surface area enhances the material's effectiveness as a catalyst or electrode in energy devices.
