lanthanum zirconate

In this work, the material La0.9Sr0.1Sс0.4Mn0.6O3 – δ was synthesized using the citrate-nitrate method. The electrochemical characteristics of the material were studied using impedance spectroscopy on symmetric cells and compared with the model Pt cathode contacting the proton-conducting electrolyte. It was shown that the polarization resistance of the investigated material is approximately two orders lower than that of the model Pt electrode.

High synthesis temperatures and sintering-active powders are required to obtain electrolyte materials with a pyrochlore structure. The smaller the particle size, the higher the density of the resulting samples is. The synthesis of highly dispersed oxide powders of doped lanthanum zirconate was carried out using a series of methods to determine the influence of experimental conditions on the microstructure of the resulting powders and ceramics.
