Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a new lanthanum chromite complex oxide and its use as a high temperature conductive material and a high temperature fuel cell separator. This new lanthanum chromite-based composite oxide is highly conductive and dense, and can be used for high-temperature fuel cells, MHD power generation, and other high-temperature conductive materials.

is an oxide-based ceramic that is highly promising as a conductive material for use in high-temperature corrosive atmospheres because it has electrical conductivity at high temperatures and has excellent oxidation and reduction resistance. By adding an alkaline earth metal such as magnesium, calcium, strontium, or barium to lanthanum chromite as a trace impurity element, it can act as a dopant and improve electrical conductivity. Lanthanum chromite has a perovskite structure (ABO3 [wherein A and B are metal elements and O is oxygen]). The added calcium, strontium, and barium are substituted in solid solution at the lanthanum position in the lanthanum chromite lattice, while magnesium is substituted in solid solution at the chromium position.

り、この目的に用いることができなかった。[Problem to be solved by the invention] Although the above-mentioned lanthanum chromite with added trace elements has sufficient performance in terms of electrical conductivity, it is difficult to obtain dense sintering in normal pressure atmosphere, and voids occur. The disadvantage is that the gas cannot be shut off sufficiently. Therefore, for example, when attempting to use lanthanum chromite as a separator material for a solid electrolyte fuel cell, it is impossible to completely separate fuel gas and air, and it cannot be used for this purpose.

8ページ)、第二にイオンの体積拡散がきわめて遅く原
料粉末の界面が移動しにくいためである。[0004] The reason why it is not easy to obtain a dense sintered body in lanthanum chromite is that the vapor pressure of chromium oxide is high at the sintering temperature, and the chromium oxide vapor generated by the decomposition of lanthanum chromite flows into the grain boundaries of the sintered body. This is because they remain as fine voids in the sintered body to inhibit the movement of pores in the sintered body (Industrial Materials, November 1987 issue, special issue, 1).
(page 8), and secondly, the volumetric diffusion of ions is extremely slow and the interface of the raw material powder is difficult to move.

A novel lanthanum chromite-based composite oxide has been disclosed (Japanese Patent Application No. 196785/1999). Further, in the above, it has been found that the same effect can be achieved even when a part of chromium is replaced with iron, nickel, etc. instead of cobalt, and the present invention has been achieved.

る。[0011] The conductivity is improved by substituting a part of La with an alkaline earth metal. However, since magnesium replaces La at the A site but Cr at the B site, it is not used in the present invention. The amount of alkaline earth metal substitution is up to 0.5 in molar ratio, preferably from 0.05 to 0.3. The more substitutions with these alkaline earth metals within this range, the higher the conductivity becomes; however, when the number increases beyond this range, it is no longer possible to replace La, and complex oxides other than perovskite structures (e.g. CaCrO4, S
rCrO4 etc.) and significantly deteriorate its properties.

It is. As such a metal, firstly, it is preferable to use a metal that lowers the vapor pressure of chromium oxide, and secondly, it is preferable to use a metal that has a larger volume diffusion coefficient than chromium ions.

It has the effect of improving The material of the present invention has excellent sinterability, especially due to the addition of Fe, and a dense sintered body can be obtained, but the sintered body is composed of polycrystals, and generally the improvement in sinterability is due to crystallization. It promotes grain size expansion, and as the crystal grain size increases, the ceramic strength decreases. This is a well-known phenomenon in alumina and stabilized zirconia. Therefore, by slightly shifting the b/a ratio from 1 and introducing a structure other than the perovskite structure into the polycrystal, the grain size can be suppressed, thereby improving the ceramic strength. However, if b/a deviates too much from 1, lanthanum oxides, chromium oxides, etc. other than the perovskite structure will increase, and these will be present at the particle interface and reduce electrical conductivity, which is not preferable. Therefore, b/a is 0.95

The firing atmosphere is an oxygen-containing atmosphere for a period of time, preferably 1 to 2 hours.

It is possible to obtain the above values. Moreover, since this sintered body has excellent oxidation resistance and reduction resistance, it is useful as a high-temperature conductive material that requires both corrosion resistance and conductivity at high temperatures. In particular, it is useful as a separator material for solid oxide fuel cells because it has electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and denseness.
