Abstract

The $La_{0.8}Ca_{0.2}CoO_3$ prepared by a citrate process was shown to have higher oxygen reduction current density and specific activity than $LaCoO_3$, $La_{0.6}Ca_{0.4}CoO_3$. In the cyclic voltammogram, an oxygen desorption peak of a $La_{0.8}Ca_{0.2}CoO_3$+carbon electrode was larger than that of a only carbon electrode. $La_{0.8}Ca_{0.2}CoO_3$ sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours was shown high oxygen reduction current density because of the particle size distribution and sintering effect.

Citrate process로 제조한 $La_{1-x}Ca_xCoO_3$에서 Ca이 20mole% doping된 perovskite oxide가 산소환원반응에 대해 가장 높은 전류밀도와 specific activity를 보여주었으며 cyclic voltammogram에서 carbon만으로 제조된 전극에서보다 carbon과 Perovskite oxide를 혼합한 전극에서 높은 산소흡착/탈착전류를 보였다. 입자크기분포와 소결효과에 의해 $900^{\circ}C$, 5시간 공기중에서 소결한 $La_{0.8}Ca_{0.2}CoO_3$가 산소환원반응에 대한 전기화학적 촉매특성이 우수하였다.
