Abstract
We synthesized $(La_{1-x}Sr_x)MnO_3$ as a cathode for SOFC by glycine nitrate process (GNP) and knew the different properties of $(La_{1-x}Sr_x)MnO_3$ by using nitrate solution and oxide solution as a starting material. In case of using nitrate solution as a starting material, main crystal phase peak of $LaMnO_3$ increased as Sr content added up and a peak of $Sr_2MnO_4\;and\;La_2O_3$ was showed as a secondary phase. We added Mn excess to control a crystal phase. In this case, the electrical conductivity had a high value 210.3 S/cm at $700^{\circ}C$. On the other side, when we used oxide solution as a starting material, we found main crystal phase of $LaMnO_3$ to increase as Sr content added up and a peak of $La_2O_3$ as a secondary phase. Similary, we added Mn excess to control a crystal phase in this case. We knew $(La,Sr)MnO_3$ powder to sinter well and the electrical conductivity of the sintered body at $1200^{\circ}C$ for 4 h was 152.7 S/cm at $700^{\circ}C$. The sintered $(La,Sr)MnO_3$ powder at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 4 h got the deoxidization peak, depending on the temperature and in case of using nitrate solution as a starting material, the deoxidization peak was showed at $450^{\circ}C$ which is lower than used a oxide solution as a starting material. As a result, when $(La,Sr)MnO_3$ powder was synthesized to add Mn excess and to use nitrate solution as a starting material, we found it to have the higher deoxidization property and considered it as a cathode for SOFC properly. And we found it to have different electrical conductivity the synthesized $(La,Sr)MnO_3$ powder by using different starting materials like nitrate solution and oxide solution which influence a sintering density and crystal phase.
