A dense thick film of mixed-conductive perovskite-type oxide (La0.6Sr0
.4Co0.8Fe0.2O3) was prepared by means of a slip-casting technique. Fil
m thickness could be easily controlled by changing the casting time. O
xygen semipermeability through the film increased with decreasing film
thickness. An acid treatment of the film was found greatly to improve
the oxygen semipermeability, because the treatment could remove surfa
ce impurities like SrO.
