Abstract

This paper demonstrates that porous nanocrystalline La0.6Sr0.4Co0.8Fe0.2O3 (LSCF) thin films with nanocrystalline microstructures can be obtained through RF sputtering using an LSCF composite target. The composition La0.6Sr0.4Co0.8Fe0.2O3 was selected for its higher electronic and ionic conductivity, lower activation energy, and high electrocatalytic activity. LSCF thin films were deposited at a temperature of 550°C onto the surface of a commercial yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte support. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses revealed that the LSCF thin films exhibit high porosity and a nanocrystalline structure, making them promising candidates for use in medium-temperature or low-temperature solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) cathodes.
