Abstract

The anode-supported solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) with an yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte have been successfully prepared by the sequential steps of fabricating technique including tape casting, spin coating, and screen-printing. Two types of the SOFCs are manufactured and their cell performances are characterized via the detail analysis of the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The maximum power densities are 411 and for the high and low performance cells at , respectively. According to the EIS analysis, the electrochemical performance of the poor cell is dominated by the anodic non-charge-transfer resistance, which is mainly resulted by the gas diffusion polarization due to the low porosity of the anode. The high performance cell is controlled by the simultaneous contributions of the ohmic resistance , the anodic polarization , and the cathodic polarization at the operation temperature of . However, the will dominate the performance of the cell as the temperature is lowered down to .
