Preparation of NiO-YSZ/YSZ bi-layers for solid oxide fuel cells by electrophoretic deposition
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple and cost-effective method, starting with electrophoretic deposition (EPD) on a carbon sheet, has been developed for preparation of a iO-YSZ anode and thin, gas-tight YSZ electrolyte layer on it for use in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The innovative feature of this approach nables the deposition of anode materials as well as the YSZ electrolyte, which were subsequently co-fired in air at high temperatures to remove the arbon and form an anode-supported dense YSZ electrolyte. A functional SOFC constructed by brush painting a layer of mixed cathode consisting f La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 (LSM) and YSZ on the electrolyte layer followed by firing at 1250 ◦C, displayed a peak power density of 434 mW cm−2 at 00 ◦C when tested with H2 as fuel and ambient air as oxidant. 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Advanced 3D Fabrication of Energy Conversion Device Structures
The aim of this project was to begin the development of a new three-dimensional materials fabrication capability, Additive Layer Manufacturing (ALM).[1, 2] This initial 6 months of support allowed us to assess the feasibility of printing high-quality ceramic layers. In particular, a process was developed for printing layers of Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ). This required the development of s...

Uniform, highly porous, columnar thin films incorporating YSZ and NiO prepared by magnetron sputtering with deposition at glancing incidence exhibited stoichiometries close to that of the YZr-Ni sputter target. Characterization by means of SEM, XRD, XPS and RBS revealed that the uniformly distributed nickel component in the as-deposited films consisted of NiO, and that the YSZ component was ess...

In this study, the effects of calcination and milling of 8YSZ (8 mol% yttria stabilized zirconia) used in the nickel-YSZ anode on the performance of anode supported tubular fuel cells were investigated. For this purpose, two different types of cells were prepared based on a Ni-YSZ/YSZ/Nd2NiO4+δ-YSZ configuration. For the anode preparation, a suspension was prepared by mixing NiO and YSZ in a ra...

Strain confinement in heterostructured films significantly affects ionic conductivity of the electrolytes for solid oxide fuel cells based on a multi-layered design strategy. Nearly ideal tensile strain can be achieved by a dedicated manipulation of the lattice mismatch between adjacent layers and fine control of the layer thicknesses to minimize the formation of dislocations and thus to achiev...

Tubular solid oxide fuel cells were fabricated and evaluated for their microstructure and electrochemical performance. The tubular substrate was prepared by casting NiO-Y2O3 stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ) slurry on the inner wall of a plastic mold (tube). The wall thickness and uniformity were controlled by slurry viscosity and rotation speed of the tube. The cells consisted of Ni-YSZ functional anode, ...
