Abstract
We developed a cost–effective a method to manufacture performance planar solid oxide fuel cells using composite electrode by tape casting and electrolyte by reactive magnetron sputtering. NiO and GDC (10% Gd), used for the anode-supported (as) and the anode functional layer (afl) powders were milled by using zirconia balls in a Turbula-(System Schatz from WAB) times up to 24 hours. Half-cell, 28 mm of diameter, Ni-GDC composite anodes have been fabricated by slurry based tape casting (Elcometer4340 Automatic Film Applicator) method for anode supported solid oxide fuel cell. Depending on the results, work on the support anode (AS) Ni0-GDC will continue in particular to avoid the presence of the residual phase of carbon resulting from the use of an agent poro formers with graphite . The decomposition of organic additives and the shrinkage of green tape is analyzed thermo-gravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG) of anode. PVD by plasma emission monitoring (PEM) was employed to synthesize GDC (10%Gd doped ceria) thin films on anode-grade ceramic substrate (porous NiO-GDC10). An Alcatel SCM650 sputtering chamber was used for synthesizing the dense GDC layers. A Ce-Gd metallic target (90-10% at) was powered by a pinnacle + pulsed current generator from Advanced Energy under reactive atmosphere.The cathode, which is made of (LSCF-GDC10) was screen printed onto electrolyte film and sintered to form a complete SOFC. The obtained cell after sintering was seen without any deformation or crack. Pycnometry and porosimetry techniques were primarily used to determine pore size and pore volume by equation Washburn and Ideal gas law-method and the decomposition of organic additives and the shrinkage of green tape was analyzed thermo-gravimetric of NiO-GDC10 and LSCF-GDC10. The microstructural morphological surface features of the cell was by 3D profilometry and complete cell were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), XRD and was employed to nos-destructively quantify the craking and behavior observed before and after different annealing. The measurements will be carried out on a complete cell with the measuring bench of the company Fiaxell of 5*5 cm2 and on a cell of 28 mm of diameter in order to obtain curves I / V.
