LSC Cathode Powder Description

As a solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) cathode material, Lanthanum Strontium Cobaltite (LSC) should help to develop, maintain cell performance, and have long-term durability and high conductivity. Surface area is also an important factor to influence the efficiency of a cathode. Lanthanum Strontium Cobaltite is a cathode material with high surface area, which can improve the performance. The SOFC using LSC as an electrode has a high battery power density. LSC in SOFC can help to produce oxygen ion vacancies and help to make oxygen surface exchange and raise the mechanical stress, thus improve the performance of the cell.

LSC Cathode Powder Applications

1. Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs): LSC Cathode Powder is used as a key component in SOFCs. It serves as the cathode material, where it catalyzes the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and allows for the conversion of chemical energy stored in fuels to electrical energy.

2. Solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs): LSC Cathode Powder is used in SOECs, which operate in the reverse mode of SOFCs. It helps in the electrochemical splitting of water vapor into hydrogen and oxygen, enabling the generation of hydrogen.

3. Oxygen separation membranes: LSC Cathode Powder is used in oxygen separation membranes, which selectively transport oxygen ions through the material. By employing LSC Cathode Powder, these membranes can separate oxygen from the air for applications such as oxygen enrichment or air separation.

4. Mixed conducting membranes: LSC Cathode Powder is used in mixed conducting membranes, which possess high ionic and electronic conductivity. These membranes can be employed in applications such as oxygen permeation, oxygen storage, or oxygen partial pressure control.

5. Gas sensors: LSC Cathode Powder can be utilized as a sensing material for gas sensors. Its electrical conductivity can change in response to the presence of certain gases, making it suitable for the detection and monitoring of gases like oxygen, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons.

6. Electrochemical devices: LSC Cathode Powder can be incorporated into various electrochemical devices, such as solid oxide electrolyzers and solid oxide oxygen generators, to enable efficient conversion and storage of energy.
