Examination of the co-sintering process of thin 8YSZ films obtained by dip-coating on in-house produced NiO–YSZ

Characterization of yttria-stabilized zirconia films deposited by dip-coating on La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 substrate: Influence of synthesis parameters

“…Mauvy et al [21] have deposited 25 µm thick YSZ films on dense alumina substrates by sol-gel/dip-coating process. Tikkanen et al [22] have obtained YSZ films with thickness of 15 µm by single-step dip-coating on NiO-YSZ substrate. Zhang et al [23] have deposited YSZ films with 20-30 µm of thickness by dip-coating on NiO-YSZ supports.…”

Fabrication of (Sm, Ce)O2−δ interlayer for yttria-stabilized zirconia-based intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells

“…High operating temperatures cause many problems, such as a limited choice of connecting materials [3], thermo-mechanical degradation of the materials [4] and increased fabrication costs [5]. Various technique have been [6][7][8][9][10][11] developed to deposit thin film electrolyte to reduce the ohmic resistance and decrease the operating temperatures of SOFCs. However, the polarization losses with La 0.8 Sr 0.2 MnO 3Àd as the cathode becomes dominant at lower operating temperatures [12].…”

“…The dip-coating method is a wet-chemical process which has been applied widely in fabricating thin films [21,22]. The dip-coating process is a low-cost method that can be scaled for industrial purposes [9]. In this work, we deposited SDC thin interlayers on the YSZ electrolyte SOFCs using PLD and dipcoating methods.…”

Production of 8%Y2O3-92%ZrO2 (8YSZ) thin films by sol-gel technology

“…An example is hydrogen energy technologies, in particular, high temperature solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) based on yttria stabilized zirconia, which is a ceramic ionic conductor [1][2][3] placed between a cathode and an anode as an interme diate layer of various thicknesses. Increasing the effi ciency of operation of such devices involves solving a number of scientific problems.…”

“…Increasing the effi ciency of operation of such devices involves solving a number of scientific problems. The mechanism of oxygen oxidation at the cathode is actively studied [4]; various methods for electrolyte film application are used: spray pyrolysis [1], sol-gel method [2,3], and colloidal [5], pulsed laser [6], and electrophoretic [7][8][9] depositions, and also screen printing [10]; the pro cesses of electrolyte interaction with the materials of the cathode and the anode are investigated [11]; and technologies for creating and using composites are developed [12][13][14]. Great attention is paid to explor ing the influence of the thickness of a solid electrolyte film [15], its production conditions [16], and the size effect [17] on the properties of the material.…”
