LSM-YSZ Composite Cathode Powder About

LSM-YSZ Composite Cathode Powder

Product Code: 6211647

This composite cathode powder is a 50/50 wt% mixture of Lanthanum Strontium Manganite (LSM) and Yttrium Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ), and is typically used asthe first layer in a two-layer cathode, where the second (top) layer is pureLSM. This two-layer approach provides higher performance than single-layer LSMcathodes, and is best used with YSZ ceramic electrolyte materials. Our LSM/YSZ cathode material can be applied by screen printing, painting or spraying afterit is formulated into appropriate inks or suspensions.

Sincethis LSM-YSZ Cathode Powder is a mixed component powder we do not have a particle size specification. This powder uses LSM-P and YSZ8-TC as its components. The powder's particle size distribution will be bimodal once processing is complete.

This cathode powder has been created for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) applications in mind.

Technical Specifications:

Superior Performance for SOFC Applications

LSM-YSZ Composite Cathode Powder is custom-designed to deliver exceptional conductivity and mechanical stability in solid oxide fuel cells. Its perovskite/fluorite phase structure enables excellent ionic and electronic transport, crucial for high-efficiency energy production. With high thermal tolerance and a low moisture content, it maintains structural integrity and efficacy during operation at elevated temperatures.


High Purity and Precision Engineering

Manufactured to a minimum 99% purity standard, this composite powder maintains strict quality controls for reliable use in research and industry. The submicron particle size (d50 <1 micron) and a specific surface area of 8-15 m2/g promote optimal reaction kinetics and uniform microstructure in the final cathode. Careful production ensures consistency in every batch.
