La0.95Sr0.05CoO3 is a strontium-doped lanthanum cobaltite ceramic oxide belonging to the perovskite family, synthesized primarily for energy conversion and catalytic applications. This material is investigated as a cathode material for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and as a catalyst support or active phase in oxygen reduction reactions, where partial strontium substitution enhances electrochemical performance compared to undoped lanthanum cobaltite. Engineers select this composition over pure LaCoO3 for its improved ionic and electronic conductivity, making it particularly relevant for high-temperature electrochemical devices operating in the 600–800 °C range.
