- Lanthanum strontium cobalt ferrite
Lanthanum strontium cobalt ferrite (LSCF), also called lanthanum strontium cobaltite ferrite is a
ceramic material of the ferrite group. It is a mixture oflanthanum(III) oxide ,strontium oxide ,cobalt oxide andiron oxide (cobalt iron oxide ).It is black in color and crystallizes in a skewed
perovskite structure. LSCF undergoes phase transformations at various temperatures depending on the composition. This material is considered a mixed ionic electronic conductor withtransference number close to 1. It can becomenon-stoichiometric at low oxygen partial pressures and high temperature.LSCF is being investigated as a material for intermediate temperature
solid oxide fuel cell cathode s,LSCF is also investigated as a
membrane material for separation ofoxygen from air, for use in e.g. cleaner burning power plants. [http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/08/070802201909.htm]It is commercially available.
