Zn was introduced to La1−xSrxScO3−δ as a B-site dopant. The addition of Zn markedly improved the sinterability of the material, and a dense sinter could be synthesized by a solid-state reaction method. Although conductivity was slightly decreased by the addition of Zn, it was shown that La1−xSrxSc1−yZnyO3−δ is a useful electrolyte material for intermediate-temperature fuel cells.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
