Lorad Chemical offers most of its fuel cell materials as nano-powders with a particle size, typically around 100nm. Because of our range of experience with fuel cell anode and cathode materials, Lorad can synthesize almost any customer defined composition.
Lorad can synthesize the following fuel cell anode materials:
Aw/oNiO:Bw/o8 m/o YSZ
The ratio of A:B can be customized to our customer’s requirements. The ratios that are typically requested are 50:50, 60:40 and 70:30.
Aw/oNiO:Bw/oCe0.8Gd0.2O2-δ
The ratios of A:B with this composition are typically 70:30 weight%.
Lorad can synthesize the following fuel cell cathode materials:
Lanthanum Strontium Manganite - Lax Sr1-xMnO3-δ with ratios of La:Sr of 80:20.
Lanthanum Strontium Cobaltite - LaxSr1-xCoO3-δ
Lanthanum Strontium Ferrite - LaxSr1-xFeO3-δ
Lanthanum Strontium Cobalt Ferrite - La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-δ
Yttrium Calcium Cobalt Ferrite - Y0.8Ca0.2Co0.7Fe0.3O3-δ
Gadolinium Strontium Cobaltite - Gd0.5Sr0.5CoO3-δ
Lanthanum Strontium Gallium Magnesite - La0.8Sr0.2Ga0.83Mg0.2O3-δ
Lanthanum Nickel Cobaltite - La0.95Ni0.60Co0.40O3-δ
In addition to these compositions, Lorad can supply composites with Lanthanum Strontium oxides with Yttria stabalized Zirconia and Cerium Gadolinium Oxide on request. Typically these are 50 percent by weight. Also nano-powders of stabilized zirconias, for example, ZrO2—8w/oY2O3 can be supplied.
With Lorad’s advanced nano-particle synthesis expertise, we can offer fast turnaround of unique nano-powder compositions and provide XRD and high resolution SEM images with the material. Lorad can supply these listed materials and most custom compositions in multi-kilogram quantities for pilot or initial production evaluation with the option to scale-up to commercial production upon demand.
