Lanthanum gallium oxide.(Brief Article)

From: New Materials Japan | Date: November 1, 1999 | Copyright information

Researchers at Oita University have developed a solid electrolyte made of lanthanum gallium oxide for use in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs).

The team claims its electrolyte has an operating temperature of about 600oC, low enough to allow the use of many metals in the structure of the fuel cell.

This has serious implications for advanced ceramics, which are viewed as the material of choice for SOFCs operating at high temperatures.

The newly develo...
