CO-SINTERING OF DENSE YSZ ELECTROLYTE FILMS ON POROUS NiO-YSZ SUPPORTING ANODES FOR IT-SOFCs

摘要

A process for the preparation of anode-electrolyte assemblies for IT-SOFCs is presented. This process involves the preparation of a green membrane of NiO-YSZ and subsequent electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of commercial YSZ powder on this polymer-rich membrane. A single thermal treatment allowed removal of the organic compounds, sintering of the layers and full densification of the electrolyte.
