Abstract

Crack-free La0.2Sr0.8CoO3−x (LSCO) membranes have been fabricated on porous ceramic supports such as MgO and CeO2 through dip coating and sintering. To avoid cracks in a LSCO membrane during sintering, a silver coating on top of the LSCO powder-packed layer that is formed via dip coating was found successful. The cracks would be otherwise unavoidable due to the shrinkage mismatch between the membrane and the support during sintering. The silver can be readily removed from the sintered LSCO membrane chemically without causing damages in the membrane.
