Digital Control of the surface patterning of functional layers of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), via the inkjet printing technique, offers better efficiency in performance. A combination of inkjet printing and tape casting in a single machine system defines as hybrid additive manufacturing, facilitates printing complex structures. Also, implementing this idea removes the blocking of the print head nozzle orifice issue.
In this paper, a highly dispersed and long‐term stable colloidal zirconia‐based suspension, with optimal printability characteristics, is designed to be prepared in approximately three hours to fabricate the macro patterned structure of the SOFC electrolyte. Hybrid Additive Manufacturing is successfully employed to make a symmetric cathode side cell with a modified electrolyte‐electrode surface to reduce the electron resistivity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
