Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Single-phased lanthanum silicate oxyapatite (LSO) powder was fabricated by solid state reaction between lanthanum hydroxide and silica powders. Dense, c-axis-oriented LSO ceramics were successfully fabricated using magnetic field-assisted colloidal processing technique followed by sintering. Anisotropic electric property and microstructure were characterized using the textured dense, polycrystalline LSO bulk ceramics. It was revealed that the c-axis of LSO is the easy-magnetization axis and higher electric conductivity was observed along the c-axis direction. About 3 times higher SOFC performance was demonstrated by using c-axis oriented LSO electrolyte compared to the use of randomly oriented LSO electrolyte.
