This invention relates to a material for the manufacture of porous electrodes for electrochemical high temperature cells and measuring sondes having oxygen ion-conducting solid electrolytes based on zirconium dioxide or cerium dioxide, comprising an admixture of mixed oxides having a perovskite structure based on LaMnO.sub.3 or LaNiO.sub.3 or LaCoO.sub.3, and small amounts of chromium and monovalent or bivalent cations selected from the group of the alkali elements or the alkaline earth elements or of Zn, Cd, Mg, Sn, or Pb. The invention also relates to a process for the manufacture of electrode material.

Process for the manufacture of electrodes having perovskite structure

A body suitable for conductively connecting respective electrodes of closely coupled fuel cells arranged in series circuit and operating at temperatures of at least 600.degree. C. consists of two conductively bonded ceramic materials having electronic conductivities of at least one mho/cm at 1000.degree. C. at respective ambient partial oxygen pressures between 10.sup.-5 bar and one bar, and below 10.sup.-5 bar.
