The mechanical and electrical properties of Ni/YSZ anode support for solid oxide fuel cells

摘要

The most commonly used solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) anode material is a two phase nickel and yttria stabilized zirconia (Ni/YSZ) cermet. And the mechanical stability of anode support layer, in anode-supported electrolyte designs, is very important for large scale applications. During the assembly of stack and normal operation, the cermet anode should withstand enough mechanical loading to prevent the cell from cracking caused by various
