The complexing process, which has successfully applied in the synthesis of nano Sm0.15Ce0.85I1.925 with crystallite size down to 5 nml, just resulted in a coarse BSCF with crystaUite size of 41.9 nm at 900℃. We applied a novel process by simply modifying the solid precursor from the complexing process with concentrated nitric acid treatment. The obtained BSCF powder had a crystaUite size of -25 nm even calcined at 1000℃. The small crystaUite size is extremely promising to enhance the electrochemical performance of cathode for solid oxide fuel cell dramatically.展开更多
