LANTHANUM STRONTIUM MANGANITE

Lanthanum strontium manganite (LSM-20/GDC 10) is a ferromagnetic material, a Sr-doped LaMnO₃ that is mainly used as a cathode material for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). It also acts as a magnetic fluid, which can further be used as an inducer of tumor hyperthermia.

LSM-20 is a state of art electrode material for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). LSM-20 possesses both ionic and electronic conductivity and belongs to the ABO₃ perovskite oxide family.
