Abstract :
Proper selection of cathode material for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is more important because of its impact which is noticeable on the performance of SOFC. The cathode is exposed to high temperature and an oxidizing atmosphere which limits the choice of metals and conducting oxides. Normally most common materials for SOFC cathodes belong to the family of the perovskite-type oxides. Cathode material should exhibit high electronic conductivity, high catalytic activity towards the oxygen reduction, it is able to conduct electrons as well as oxide ions, and have a porous microstructure to allow transport of oxygen. Its thermal expansion coefficient should match with that of other components. The most commonly used cathode for SOFCs is (LSM).
