摘要

Solid oxide fuel cells are an alternative renewable energy source with minimal carbon emissions and high efficiency. The cells use gadolinium-doped ceria (Ce0.9Gd0.1O1.95) as the electrolyte due to its high oxide-ion conductivity and good performance at intermediate temperatures. A composite of NiO and Ce0.9Gd0.1O1.95 is used as an anode, and (La0.6Sr0.4)0.95Co0.8Fe0.2O3−δ and Ce0.9Gd0.1O1.95 is used as cathode. The anode-supported cells are fabricated by tape-casting the anode and spray-coating the electrolyte. The anode and electrolyte are co-sintered together at 1450 °C for 4 h. The cathode is then painted onto the electrolyte and sintered at 1000 °C for 2 h. The complete cell is studied under real SOFC conditions, using hydrogen (3% H2O) as the anode fuel and ambient air at the cathode. The cell has achieved a power density of 102.2 mW cm− 2. The fractured surface images of the cells reveal a highly dense electrolyte layer sandwiched between the two porous electrodes.
