Equimolar powder mixtures and multilayer pellets of single-phase Sr-doped lanthanum manganite perovskite materials La{sub y{minus}x}Sr{sub x}MnO{sub 3} with La content y = 1 and 0.95 and Sr content 0 {<=} x {<=} 0.5 were annealed in air with 8 mol% Y{sub 2}O{sub 3}ZrO{sub 2} at 1470 K up to 400 h and at 1670 K up to 200 h. X-ray diffraction and electron probe microanalysis confirmed the formation of La{sub 2}Zr{sub 2}O{sub 7} or SrZrO{sub 3} depending on the composition of the perovskites. No reaction products could be detected for La{sub 0.95 {minus}x}Sr{sub x}MnO{sub 3} with 0.2 {<=} x {<=} 0.4 after annealing for 400 h at 1470 K, and for the perovskite La{sub 0.65}Sr{sub 0.3}MnO{sub 3} even after annealing for 200 h at 1,670 K. The results demonstrate the improved chemical compatibility of La-deficient perovskites against reaction with zirconia and can provide a basis for the selection of a sufficiently chemically stable material for the air electrode of solid oxide fuel cells.
