The LSCF cathode for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell was investigated to develop high performance unit cell at intermediate temperature by modified oxalate method with different electrolyte. The LSCF precursors using oxalic acid, ethanol and $NH_4OH$ solution were prepared at $80^{\circ}C$, and pH was controlled as 2, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. The synthesis precursor powders were calcined at $800^{\circ}C$, $1000^{\circ}C$ and $1200^{\circ}C$ for 4hrs. Unit cells were prepared with the calcined LSCF cathode, buffer layer between cathode and each electrolyte that is the LSGM, YSZ, ScSZ and CeSZ. The synthesis LSCF powders by modified oxalate method were measured by scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction. The interfacial polarization resistance of cell was characterized by Solatron 1260 analyzer. The crystal of LSCF powders show single phase at pH 2, 6, 7, 8 and 9, and the average particle size was about $3{\mu}m$. The electric conductivity of synthesis LSCF cathode which was calcined at $1200^{\circ}C$ shows the highest value at pH 7. The cell consist of GDC had the lowest interfacial resistance (about 950 S/cm@650) of the cathode electrode. The polarization resistance of synthesis LSCF cathode by modified oxalate method has the value from 4.02 to 7.46ohm at $650^{\circ}C$. GDC among the electrolytes, shows the lowest polarization resistance.

Modified oxalate method에 의해 합성한 중온형 Solid Oxide Fuel Cell 용 LSCF cathoded의 pH 변화에 따른 분말특성 및 여러 종류의 전해질에 따른 전극특성에 대해 연구하였다. LSCF를 합성하기 위한 출발물질로는 La, Sr, Co 및 Fe의 염화물과 oxalic acid, ethanol 및 $NH_4OH$를 사용하여, $80^{\circ}C$ 에서 pH 2, 6, 7, 8, 9 및 10에서 합성하였다. 합성한 LSCF 분말은 pH $2{\sim}9$까지는 단일상의 LSCF 결정상을 생성하였다. 그러나, PH 10에서는 LSCF결정상 외에 이차상인 $La_2O_3$ 결정상이 나타났으며, 또한 $800^{\circ}C$에서 4시간 하소한 경우 50 nm정도의 작은 크기를 나타내었다. 합성한 LSCF cathode 분말의 전기전도도는 pH 7에서 합성한 LSCF 분말의 경우 $600^{\circ}C$부터 $900^{\circ}C$까지 측정하였을 때 약 950 S/cm의 높은 값을 나타내었다. 또한 분극저항의 경우 같은 합성 조건에서 합성한 LSCF 분말이라도 하소조건에 따라 다른 결과를 나타내었는데, $800^{\circ}C$에서 하소한 분말의 경우 $1200^{\circ}C$에서 하소한 분말 보다 낮은 분극저항을 나타내었다. 특히 $800^{\circ}C$에서 4시간 하소하여 합성한 LSCF 분말은 $600^{\circ}C$에서 Scandia Stabilized Zirconia (ScSZ), yttria (8mol.%)-stabilized zirconia(8Y-YSZ) 및 Gadolinium Doped Ceria(GDC) 전해질을 사용하였을 때, 전극면적이 $0.5\;cm^2$일 때 각각 2.52, 1.54 및 $2.58\;{\Omega}$을 나타내었다.
