Electrophoretic Deposition of YSZ Electrolyte on Porous NiO-YSZ Substrate for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells

Article Preview

Abstract:

: In this study a thin dense YSZ film has been fabricated from stable non-aqueous suspensions by Electrophoretic Deposition (EPD) method on a porous pre-sintered NiO-YSZ substrate. Thin film of YSZ and NiO-YSZ composite were used as electrolyte and anode, respectively, in SOFCs that should have certain characteristics. Process parameters like porosity, pre-sintering temperature, voltage and time of deposition have been considered and optimized for obtaining a controlled thickness. After depositing a conductive layer, EPD has been performed on NiO-YSZ composites. These layers were sintered and a crack-free dense thin film of 8 mol % YSZ was obtained on porous NiO-YSZ anode. The interface and adhesion between the two layers was investigated by Scanning Electron Microscope and microstructural observations.
