Preparation and characterization of La0.9Sr0.1Ga0.8Mg0.2O3−δ thin film electrolyte deposited by RF magnetron sputtering on the porous anode support for IT-SOFC

Annealing temperature induced improved crystallinity of YSZ thin film

“…However, crystallization of the film without annealing (as-deposited film through plasma sputtering from the target) could modify the nucleation density, surface roughness, and grain size. Sun et al [43] also acknowledged the filling of surface pores by ions' excited adatoms, forming a smoother surface. To verify the achieved annealing temperature mediated variation in the surface roughness and covered area in the film structure the AFM images were further analyzed using Gwyddion software where the results supported the earlier observation on crystallite size<grain size<particle size.…”

Ab initio study of La 10−x Sr x (Si,Ge) 6 O 27−0.5x apatite for SOFC electrolyte

“…There are three basic components in a SOFC, namely, porous anode, cathode and dense electrolyte. The electrolyte material plays a very important role in the SOFC to transport oxygen ions and isolate airflow [1][2][3][4]. Therefore, it should be elaborated sufficiently dense to completely cut off the fuel and oxygen flow.…”

Preparation and Characterization of NiO-LSCM/LSCM Dual Composite Anode for IT-SOFC

“…Conventional SOFC require to be operated at high temperature above 1000 ℃, which arise some tough problems including durability and materials select. Therefore, one of trends of SOFC development is to fabricate electrode-supported cell, which use thin film electrolyte to reduce operating temperature [2].…”
