Recently LaNi1–xFexO3 materials have been indicated as good candidates for cathodes for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs), and LaNi0.6Fe0.4O3 (LNF) showed the highest specific conductivity in the LaNi1–xFexO3 series. Here we report the results of our investigation on the performances of LNF, synthesized by the coprecipitation method. A detailed local structure analysis, performed using X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES ) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) techniques, indicated that both Fe and Ni are in the (III) oxidation state with coordination numbers of ∼6, suggesting the absence of appreciable amount of oxygen vacancies.

Abstract
Recently LaNi1–xFexO3 materials have been indicated as good candidates for cathodes for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs), and LaNi0.6Fe0.4O3 (LNF) showed the highest specific conductivity in the LaNi1–xFexO3 series. Here we report the results of our investigation on the performances of LNF, synthesized by the coprecipitation method. A detailed local structure analysis, performed using X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES ) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) techniques, indicated that both Fe and Ni are in the (III) oxidation state with coordination numbers of ∼6, suggesting the absence of appreciable amount of oxygen vacancies.Pubblicazioni consigliate
