Cathode Powders

Highest Purity Available | Increased Performance | World-Class Characterization

FCM offers multiple powders with excellent oxygen ion conductivity for your SOFC cathode needs. These include LSM, an industry proven standard, as well as LSCF and LSC, which can be used for lower temperature applications. Composite powders such as LSCF/GDC and LSM/YSZ are also available for use in multilayer cathodes. These composite materials extend the triple phase boundary length in order to increase electrochemical performance.

FCM cathode powders are produced in a ISO certified facility with tight controls on critical features such as stoichiometry, surface area and particle size distribution.
