摘要

Ca- and Ti-substituted perovskite La0.80Ca0.20Mn0.80Ti0.20O3 is assessed as a cathode material for SOFCs. Structural analysis shows an orthorhombic structure (Pbnm space group) with 15–20 nm pores. Thermal analysis reveals weight loss above 600 °C and a thermal expansion coefficient of 12.5 × 10–6 K−1. Electrochemical analysis shows conductivity of 174 S cm−1 at 800 °C, activation energy of 0.41 eV, and minimum polarization resistance (Rp) of 0.0112 Ω cm2 at 700 °C. Therefore, Sr and Ti co-doped LaMnO3 perovskite can be used as a promising SOFC cathode.
