✦ Synopsis


Perovskite-oxide nanocrystals of La 0.75 Sr 0.25 Cr 0.93 Ru 0.07 O 3-d with a mean size around 10 nm were prepared by microwave flash synthesis. This reaction was performed in alcoholic solution using metallic salts, sodium ethoxide and microwave autoclave. The obtained powder was characterised after purification by energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), BET adsorption technique, photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that integrated perovskite-type phase and uniform particle size were obtained in the microwave treated samples. At last the synthesised powder was directly used in a sintering process. A porous solid, in accordance with the expected applications, was then obtained at low sintering temperature (1000 1C) without use of pore forming agent.

Ni cermet anodes are commonly used in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) [1][2][3][4], but there has been considerable interest in alternative oxide-based anodes [5]. The motivation for the alternative materials is to avoid problems with the Ni-based anodes, including susceptibility to coking in hydroca

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 °C to intermediate temperatures of about 600 °C [1]. The lower operating temperature decreases thermal stress in the materials and offers
