CO-SINTERING OF AN ANODE-SUPPORTED SOFC BASED ON SCANDIA STABILIZED ZIRCONIA ELECTROLYTE

摘要

This paper investigates the sintering of an anode supported SOFC cell based on scandia and ceria stabilized zirconia electrolyte. We focus on the co-sintering of anode-electrolyte half cell. At first, the sintering of electrolyte and NiO/YSZ anode has been characterized by conventional dilatometry experiments. Then, the sintering of a half cell has been performed by direct observation of bending occurring during the thermal cycle. Finally, the observed cambering sequences have been discussed by Cai et al. analytical model.
