“…Lanthanum cobaltite (LaCoO 3 -<delta>) perovskite-type oxides are attractive materials due to their potential applications as electrode material in intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells [1,2] and cathode catalyst for membranous fuel cell [3]. LaCoO 3 exhibit interesting electrical, electro catalytic properties, high electronic conductivity, good ionic conductivity [4], unique magnetic transitions from nonmagnetic to paramagnetic behavior at about 100 K and a broad transition at around 500 K accompanied by an insulator-metal transition [5].…”
