“…[12] The PLD-thin films prepared at various oxygen-pressures by Shin et al, on the other hand, resemble our films deposited at lower temperatures (Figure 9 (a) to (c)). [44] Thin films created by spray pyrolysis at various substrate temperatures were imaged by Garcia-Sánchez et al [18] The sample prepared at the highest temperature, where the solvent was already evaporated before it reached the surface, resulting in dry particles reaching the substrate during deposition, looks most alike to the images presented in this work, which is comprehensible since, when sputtering, small particles or clusters reach the surface as well -hence the similarities in the images.…”

Epitaxially grown, chemically homogeneous yttria-stabilized zirconia thin films ("YSZ", 8 mol% Y 2 O 3) are prepared by direct-current sputtering onto a single-crystalline NaCl(001) template at substrate temperatures ≥ 493 K, resulting in unsupported YSZ films after floating off NaCl in water. A combined methodological approach by dedicated (surface science) analytical characterization tools (transmission electron microscopy and diffraction, atomic force microscopy, angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) reveals that the film grows mainly in a [001] zone axis and no Y-enrichment in surface or bulk regions takes place. In fact, the Y-content of the sputter target is preserved in the thin films. Analysis of the plasmon region in EEL spectra indicates a defective nature of the as-deposited films, which can be suppressed by post-deposition oxidation at 1073 K. This, however, induces considerable sintering, as deduced from surface morphology measurements by AFM. In due course, the so-prepared unsupported YSZ films might act as well-defined model systems also for technological applications.

“…Some works involving the mechanism of ceramic oxide deposition by PLD for fabrication of μ-SOFC have been reported in the literature. Solid electrolytes and electrode components based on perovskites, electrolytes such as gadolinium doped ceria (GDC), yttrium stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and lanthanum gallate also have been deposited by this technique [79][80][81] . Thin films of high relative density and with nanometric grain size have been attained, and the relation between structure and microstructure of those oxides with their electric properties has been evaluated.…”

A brief overview is given of the main types and principles of solid-state proton conductors with perovskite structure. Their properties are summarized in terms of the defect chemistry, proton transport and chemical stability. A good understanding of these subjects allows the manufacturing of compounds with the desired electrical properties, for application in renewable and sustainable energy devices. A few trends and highlights of the scientific advances are given for some classes of protonic conductors. Recent results and future prospect about these compounds are also evaluated. The high proton conductivity of barium cerate and zirconate based electrolytes lately reported in the literature has taken these compounds to a highlight position among the most studied conductor ceramic materials.

“…Many techniques such as sol-gel process [7][8][9], plasma sprayed [10,11], electron beam evaporation [12,13], sputtering [14,15] and pulse laser deposition (PLD) [16] can be employed to deposit zirconium coatings. Additionally, thin films of ZrO 2 applications have been successfully obtained by dip and spin coating method [17].…”
