Abstract: The (La_0.60Sr_0.40)(Co_0.20Fe_0.80)O_3-δ - LSCF, (Ce_0.90Gd_0.10)O_1.95 - CGO composites and LSCF were deposited by wet powder spraying deposition method for the purpose of investigating their potential use in Intermediate Temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cells. The interlayers are necessary between CGO electrolytes and LSCF cathodes in order to improve the performance of these materials. LSCF particles synthesized by citrate technique were calcined at 900 °C for 4 h and, their LSCF-CGO composites and LSCF suspensions deposited on CGO substrate and, sintered in 1100 °C for 1 h, were formed pseudo-perovskite. The ceramics materials were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and chemical composition of different half-cells layers by scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive (SEM-EDS). The results are in agreement with the literature and indicate that route studied is adequate for crystal structures formation compatible with films the 35 µm thick total for study of conductivity between the cathode and the electrolyte.

Abstract: The compound strontium-doped manganite lanthanum (La0,85Sr0,15MnO3 - LSM), deposited in the form of thin films in yttria-stabilized zirconia substrate (Y2O3/ZrO2 - YSZ), is of basic importance as cathodic material of the solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). In this work, the LSM was synthesized by the citrate technique and characterized by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), phase analysis light scattering granulometry (PALS), X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In the wet powder spraying, was used an airbrush and the LSM sample deposited to the YSZ substrate was sintered and characterized by SEM. The conclusions had allowed to establish preliminary conditions for preparation of LSM suspensions by wet powder spraying.
