Phase stability, oxygen content, electrical conductivity, and Seebeck coefficient of La{sub 1-x}Sr{sub x}Co{sub 0.2}Fe{sub 0.8}O{sub 3-{delta}} (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4) were studied as a function of temperature and oxygen activity. The thermochemical properties of these compositions under a reducing atmosphere appear to follow the boundaries set between the two end members, LaFeO{sub 3} and LaCoO{sub 3}, but the electrical properties are closer to those of LaFeO{sub 3}. The Sr content (x {le} 0.4) does not seem to have a significant effect on the high-temperature phase stability. Dissociation of these compositions under a reducing atmosphere occurred gradually by the formation of transient compounds. The major transient compounds formed during dissociation could be represented by a general formula of (La, Sr) (Fe, Co)O{sub 4}. Upon further reduction, these oxides dissociated to La{sub 2}O{sub 3}, SrO, Co, and Fe.
