“…164,165 Microwave energy is used as a heating source instead of a furnace to achieve uniform heating. The performance of the Ni-YSZ anode synthesized using this method exhibited significant improvement, 45 which can be ascribed to the enhanced TPB of the anode due to improved particle homogeneity. Moreover, the fabricated Ni-YSZ anode was highly conductive and possessed a high dielectric constant.…”
“…The synthesis method affects the microstructure, porosity, particle size distribution, particle shape, and TPB of the anode. 27 Some of the approaches that are used to synthesize anode materials including ball milling, [28][29][30][31][32] solid-state reaction (SSR) method, [33][34][35] template-based synthesis method, [36][37][38] and wet chemical methods (WCMs), such as sol-gel, 15,[39][40][41][42][43][44][45] co-precipitation, [46][47][48][49] hydrothermal and solvothermal methods, 48,50,51 and combustion method.

The primary components of SOFCs are the anode, cathode, and the electrolyte. Anode is critical in achieving the effective electrochemical oxidation of fuel; thus, its performance can be improved using homogenous powder synthesized through an appropriate method. Various synthesis methods, including solidstate reaction and wet chemical methods have been used to synthesize anode materials. However, each technique has several advantages and disadvantages.Given that anode is a porous electrode, few criteria, such as high conductivity, tolerance towards carbon deposition, chemical stability, and thermal stability, must be fulfilled. Researchers also modified the existing synthesis method to improve the performance of the anode. In addition, various anode fabrication techniques including physical and colloidal deposition techniques are briefly discussed to understand their effect on the performance of the deposited layers.The aim of this review is to discuss the various anode synthesis and deposition techniques and their influence on the properties and performance of SOFCs.
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.
