Preparation and properties of Ni/YSZ anode by coating precipitation method

A high performance solid oxide fuel cells operating at intermediate temperature with a modified interface between cathode and electrolyte

“…12 In addition, the optimization of anode structure and composition has been also investigated by many researchers. 13,14 However, the optimization of interface between the cathode and the electrolyte was seldom reported.…”

Preparation and electrical properties of yttrium-doped strontium titanate with B-site deficiency

“…For SOFCs based on yttria-stablized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte, Nickel/YSZ cermet, which displays excellent catalytic properties for hydrogen oxidation and good current collection, is the most widely used anode material [8][9][10]. However, since Ni is a good catalyst for hydrocarbon cracking reaction, the use of hydrocarbon fuels in a SOFC with Ni-based anode results in carbon deposition and thus irreversible cell degradation [11,12].…”

Effect of fabrication parameters on the electrical conductivity of YxSr1−xTiO3 for anode materials

“…Anode is one of the most important components of SOFC, where the fuel is oxidized and electrons are released to the external circuit. For SOFCs based on yttria-stablized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte, the most commonly used anode material is Ni/YSZ cermet, which displays excellent catalytic properties for hydrogen oxidation and good current collection [4][5][6]. However, these desired properties are also accompanied by some disadvantages, such as low tolerance to sulfur and carbon deposition when using hydrocarbon as fuels, and poor redox cycleability and volume stability due to the oxidization of Ni at high temperatures [7][8][9].…”
