Fabrication of composite SOFC anodes

Induction Plasma Synthesis of Nano-Structured SOFCs Electrolyte Using Solution and Suspension Plasma Spraying: A Comparative Study

“…They also provide new opportunity and feasibility for IT-SOFCs commercialization ( Ref 22). Thin layers of SOFCs electrolyte have been produced by a number of deposition techniques, including aerosolassisted metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), polarized electrochemical vapor deposition (PEVD), RF magnetron sputtering, atomic layer deposition (ALD), screen printing, slurry coating, and the sol-gel process ( Ref 19,[23][24][25][26][27][28]. These techniques are generally expensive in both equipment and operation costs, and are of rather low efficiency, which makes them difficult to scale up for commercialization.…”

A cathode-supported SOFC with thin Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.9 electrolyte prepared by a suspension spray

“…In fabrication of anode supported SOFCs, there have been a number of techniques developed to prepare thin electrolyte layers on anode supports, such as aerosol-assisted metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) [18], polarized electrochemical vapor deposition (PEVD) [19], RF magnetron sputtering [20], screen printing [21], slurry coating [22] process, etc. The techniques involving gaseous process are prevented from commercialization for their low efficiency and high cost both in equipment and operation.…”

Deposition of SDC and NiO-SDC thin films and their surface morphology control by electrostatic spray deposition

“…This technique has also shown other advantages: (a) a simple set-up; (b) a wide choice of inexpensive and non-toxic precursors; (c) high deposition efficiency; (d) ambient atmosphere operation; (e) excellent control of chemical composition, over conventional deposition techniques, such as chemical vapor deposition [4], microwave plasma coating [5], flame-assisted vapor deposition [6], pulsed laser deposition [7], electrochemical vapor deposition [8] and spray pyrolysis [9].…”
