Technical Data Sheet

Description of LNC Cathode Powder

As a solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) cathode material, it should help to develop, maintain cell performance and have long-term durability. Lanthanum Nickel Cobaltite (LNC) is a material with high conductivity, which makes it a well material to improve the cathode collection for SOFC. Compared with Lanthanum Samarium Cobalt, LNC has better thermal stability and conductivity. When mixed with ceria-based powders, it could be an excellent cathode.

LNC Cathode Powder FAQs

Q1：What is Lanthanum Nickel Cobaltite Cathode Powder?

Lanthanum Nickel Cobaltite (often denoted as LaNiCoO₃) is a mixed metal oxide used primarily in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) as a cathode material. It is a perovskite-type material that offers high electronic conductivity, good thermal stability, and resistance to chemical degradation, making it suitable for high-temperature applications in fuel cells.

Q2: What are the benefits of using Lanthanum Nickel Cobaltite as a cathode material?

High Conductivity: It offers excellent electronic conductivity and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity, crucial for SOFCs.

Thermal Stability: Lanthanum Nickel Cobaltite remains stable at the high operating temperatures of fuel cells (around 600-1000°C).

Chemical Durability: The material is resistant to degradation over time, ensuring long-term performance.

Q3: What is the role of lanthanum in the material?

Lanthanum contributes to the perovskite structure, which enhances the stability and conductivity of the material. It also helps improve the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance, which is crucial in fuel cell operation.
