β¦ Synopsis
Thick films of lanthanum strontium manganese oxide, La, _,Sr,MnO, (LSM), cathode material for solid oxide fuel cells, was deposited using the flame assisted vapour deposition method, a simple and cost-effective technique. The surface morphology and microstructure of porous cathode films were analysed using scanning electron microscopy. X-ray diffraction indicated the presence of a desirable lanthanum strontium manganese oxide phase at the deposition temperature of 710Β°C. The interfacial resistance between the electrode and electrolyte was measured by an AC impedance method. The interfacial electrical resistance was measured to be comparable with existing literature. In addition, the effect of deposition temperatures on the film's microstructure was discussed.

One of the primary scientific aims within the solid oxide fuel cell (SPOFC) community is to lower the operating temperature of an SOFC system from about 800-1,000 Β°C to intermediate temperatures of about 600 Β°C [1]. The lower operating temperature decreases thermal stress in the materials and offers

A cubic perovskite of BSCF was observed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) at a calcination temperature above 950 β’ C. An anode-supported solid-oxide fuel cell was constructed from
