Abstract

A uniform and dense (relative density 89%) La0.8Sr 0.2MnO3-δ (LSM) thin film (84 nm thick) has been prepared on La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe 0.8O3-δ (LSCF) substrate using a water-based sol-gel method, in order to improve the operating stability of intermediate temperature cathode. An in situ static electric field was applied in the deposition/drying process, and found to obviously affect phase formation and thickness of the final LSM film. It was proposed that the orientation of macromolecules (such as chelating agents and surfactants) and the packing density of metal cations may be influenced by electric field during the deposition process.
