AbstractThe Nd_0.67Sr_0.33MnO_3 manganite is a material promising for application as a cathode for medium-temperature solid oxide fuel elements. A high electrical conductivity of such a cathode is the parameter determining the efficiency of the operation of a fuel element. In this report, the effect of influence of excess manganese on the structure and the conductivity of manganite ceramics with compositions (Nd_0.67Sr_0.33)_1– x Mn_1 + x O_3± Δ ( x = 0, 0.2) sintered at temperatures 1273–1673 K is presented for the first time. The existence of 20% excess manganese in the initial manganite powder after sintering is shown to lead to that the conductivity of the obtained ceramics in the temperature range 823–1073 K is several times higher than the conductivity of the ceramics without excess manganese.
