Abstract:We present results of our efforts to develop thin films that may prove to be appropriate solid electrolytes for lower operating temperature solid oxide fuel cells. The electron beam evaporation technique has been used to deposit yttrium stabilised zirconia (YSZ: ZrO 2 stabilised with 8 wt-%Y 2 O 3 ) thin films on a variety of porous and non-porous substrates. Thin films have been grown on conducting films on glass, monocrystalline silicon wafers and highly porous NiO/YSZ substrates. Some of the porous substrat… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
