To elucidate the phase change and volume variation of SOFC cathode materials, La{sub 1{minus}y}MnO{sub 3+d} (y = 0, 0.05) and La{sub 1{minus}x}Sr{sub x}MnO{sub 3+d}, with temperature and oxygen nonstoichiometry, high temperature X-ray diffraction analysis was made in the atmosphere of the controlled oxygen partial pressure. The structure above 800 C was found to be rhombohedral R{bar 3}C for the composition with x = 0 and 0.1, irrespective of the oxygen content. Both the lattice volume and thermal expansion coefficient increase with decreasing the oxygen content. For x{>=}0.3, the structure above 800 C was essentially cubic. The variation in the lattice parameter with P(O{sub 2}) at P(O{sub 2}) > 10{sup {minus}4} atm became smaller with the increase in Sr content, x, due to the smaller oxygen excess nonstoichiometry for the larger x in La{sub 1{minus}x}Sr{sub x}MnO{sub 3+d}.
