We present here results of the application and parameter optimization of the technique of solution spray pyrolysis for the fabrication of electrodic films of the type Cu-CeO 2 and La 0.75 Sr 0.25 MnO 3 (LSM) on dense pellets of the solid electrolyte yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ). The first type of electrode combines the properties of a good electronic conductor (Cu) and an efficient catalyst while the second constitutes a typical perovskite exhibiting mixed (i.e. ionic and electronic) conductivity. Both types of electrodes find wide use in ceramic fuel cells, gas sensors and catalytic processes.
