(La0.8Sr0.2)(0.95)MnO3 and (La0.8Sr0.2)(0.95)MnO3/YSZ gel films were deposited by a spin-coating technique on scandium-doped zirconia (ScSZ) substrate using the precursor solution prepared from La(O-i-C3H7)(3), Sr(O-i-C3H7)(2), Mn(O-i-C3H7)(2) and 2-methoxyethanol. By heat-treating the gel films, the membrane reactors, (La0.8Sr0.2)(0.95)MnO3\ScSZ\Pt and (La0.8Sr0.2)(0.95)MnO3/YSZ\SCSZ\Pt were fabricated. It was found that the prefiring temperature affected :the microstructure evolution of (La0.8Sr0.2)(0.95)MnO3 and (La0.8Sr0.2)(0.95)MnO3/YSZ thin films. Pre-firing at low temperature resulted in high porosity and large grain size of the thin films. NO decomposition characteristics of the obtained membrane reactors were investigated at 600 degreesC in reactant gas, 1000 ppm of NO and 2% of oxygen. By applying a direct current to the membrane reactors, NO can be decomposed at the (La0.8Sr0.2)(0.95)MnO3 and (La0.8Sr0.2)(0.95)MnO3/YSZ composite cathode. By incorporating YSZ into (La0.8Sr0.2)(0.95)MnO3, the required consuming power to decompose NO could be reduced. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
