Enhanced performance of NiO–3YSZ planar anode-supported SOFC with an anode functional layer

Solid oxide electrolyzer positive electrodes with a novel microstructure show unprecedented stability at high current densities

“…The preparation of the YSZ electrolyte slurry was reported in our previous paper (see the ESI † for details). [30][31][32][33] Finally, the YSZ substrates were dried overnight and sintered at 1400 °C for 5 h.…”

Investigation of factors affecting the performance of a single-layer nanocomposite fuel cell

“…Lee et al reported of a SOFC based on 5 μm thick GDC electrolyte layer prepared by dip-coating that achieved a power density of 1970 mW/cm 2 at 550 °C [49]. A 5 μm thick YSZ electrolyte prepared by spin-coating has been reported as well [50].…”

Solid oxide fuel cell with a spin-coated yttria stabilized zirconia/gadolinia doped ceria bi-layer electrolyte

“…18–20 Wang et al 21 fabricated a 10 μm-thick YSZ membrane on a NiO–YSZ anode support with slurry spin coating, and the maximum power density ( P max ) of the single cell reaches 2 W cm −2 at 800 °C. Chen et al 22 coated a 10 μm-thick anode functional layer (AFL) and a 5 μm-thick YSZ electrolyte membrane successively on a NiO–YSZ anode support, and the P max of the cell is 0.6 W cm −2 at 800 °C. Many parameters of the spin coating process, such as the viscosity and solid content of the slurry, the spinning speed and duration, number of coating cycles and the property of AFL, have important effect on the thickness and porosity of the electrolyte layer.…”
