Characterization of Cathode Materials Ln_0.7Sr_0.2Ca_0.1Co_0.7Fe_0.3O_2.85(Ln=La, Pr and Nd) Synthesized by Microwave Sintering Techniques

Abstract:

Sr, Ca and Fe doped cathode materials Ln_0.7Sr_0.2Ca_0.1Co_0.7Fe_0.3O_2.85 (LnSCCF, Ln=La, Pr and Nd; abbreviated as L-72173, P-72173 and N-72173) were synthesized by microwave sintering (MWS) techniques. The formation process, phase structure and composition were characterized using TG/DTA, XRD and EDS. The thermal expansion behavior of the samples was analyzed in the range of 20-950 °C by thermal dilatometer. The electrical conductivity of the samples was measured with DC four-terminal method from 25 to 900 °C. The X-ray diffraction shows that the samples exhibit a single phase with rhombohedral or cubic perovskite structure after sintered at 1200 °C for 20 min. The electrical conductivity of the samples increases with temperature up to a maximum, and then decreases gradually at higher temperature owing to the creation of oxygen vacancies. The small polaron hopping is regarded as the conducting mechanism (T 550 °C). L-72173 has higher mixed conductivity ( >300 S·cm^-1) in 550-800 °C. The average TECs of L-72173, P-72173 and N-72173 are 1.389× 10^-5 K^-1, 1.417 × 10^-5 K^-1 and 1.416 × 10^-5 K^-1 in the range of 25-800 °C, respectively. They are thermally matched to the GDC better than the YSZ and SDC.
