Abstract
Sr- and Mn-doped lanthanum gallate powders (LSGMn, La0.9Sr0.1Ga1 − xMnxO3 − δ, x = 0.20, 0.35, 0.43) were prepared by glycine-nitrate combustion synthesis. X-ray diffraction patterns indicate the perovskite structure was formed without any second phase after calcining the powders at 1000°C for 4 h. Compacts of powders synthesized under stoichiometric combustion were sintered to densities over 95% of theoretical values. The electrical conductivity of this material in both air and H2 were characterized using AC impedance spectroscopy. It showed that the conductivity in H2 atmosphere is lower than that in air due to p-type electrical conduction in this material, and the electrical conductivity increases remarkably with increasing manganese content. Good chemical stability of La0.9Sr0.1Ga1 − xMnxO3 − δ in H2 atmosphere as well as the relatively high conductivity makes it an appropriate anode material for Sr- and Mg-doped lanthanum gallate (LSGM)-based IT-SOFCs. Preliminary fuel cell performance measurements were performed, showing promising electrochemical properties of such anode materials.
