Abstract

A simple low temperature synthesis route has been performed in preparing single perovskite phase of La0.6Sr0.4CoO3-δ (LSCO) for cathode application in intermediate temperature proton conducting solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). A sol-gel method assisted with a combined chelating agent namely citric acid and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) was used in this study. Ethylene glycol (EG) and activated carbon (AC) were employed as a combined surfactant/dispersion agent. The synthesized powders were characterized by XRD, SEM/EDS and PSA for phase formation, microstructure and particle size analysis, respectively. The results of the analysis have been presented in this paper accordingly.
