Lanthanum nickel cobaltite (LNC) is a high conductivity material that typically is used as a cathode contact paste (to improve cathode current collection) in SOFC stacks.  LNC also can be used for the same purpose in single-cell SOFC testing.  Compared to lanthanum strontium cobaltite, LNC has better thermal stability, lower thermal expansion and equivalent electrical conductivity.  LNC also can be considered as a cathode material, when mixed with one of our ceria-based electrolyte powders (GDC or SDC).

Typical Uses:

• Ink fabrication for screen printing applications
• SOFC cathode fabrication for electrolyte and anode supported cells
• Low temperature applications
• Current conducing material for multilayer cathodes
