Abstract: Sr- and Mg-doped LaGaO3(La0.8Sr0.2Ga0.8Mg0.2O2.8) powders have been successfully synthesized from carbonate and oxides based on the principle of gelcasting. XRD patterns indicate the perovskite structure is formed without any second phases after sintering the powders at 1 400 ℃ for 6 h. The pellet sample was sintered to 98.3% of theoretical density at 1 450 ℃ for 18 h. The total electrical conductivity was greatly depended on the sintering time, and reached the maximum when the pellet was sintered at 1 450 ℃ for 24 h. Planar SOFC was constructed using Ni-Ce0.8Gd0.2O1.9 and La0.8Sr0.2Ga0.6Ni0.4O2.7 as the anode and cathode, respectively. When humidified hydrogen and air were introduced to the two electrodes, maximum power density of 252 mW/cm2(U=0.48 V, J=525 mA/cm2) was achieved with the open circuit voltage of 1.04 V at 750 ℃.
