However, due to the influence of the cobalt crystal field and electron spin state, this cathode material has a large thermal expansion coefficient, making it difficult to sinter with mainstream SOFC electrolytes, resulting in reduced electrochemical performance.

[0068] In the present invention, the annealing is preferably performed in an air furnace. The present invention has no particular limitation on the type of the air furnace, and any equipment well known to those skilled in the art can be used.
[0069] The present invention adopts a simple "one-pot" synchronous preparation method with a simple process flow and high material preparation efficiency, which is conducive to large-scale production and application; the "one-pot" synchronous preparation can make the Sr and Ce elements dissolve in each other between the two phases, thereby achieving the effect of mutual doping, thereby improving the ion and electron transport performance of the mutually doped two-phase composite cathode material, so that the mutually doped two-phase composite cathode material exhibits better electrochemical performance.
