The emergence of lanthanum silicate as an electrolyte is required to accelerate the development of synthesis techniques for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (ITSOFCs). Apatite-type oxide powders of La10(SiO4)6O3 have been elaborated through atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) using micro-scale mixtures of La2O3 and SiO2 powders. Granulometer and scanning electron microscopy analyses have indicated the result of high temperature reaction and rapid solidification in the evolution of multi-scale microstructure.
