Abstract
A thin-film yttrium-doped barium zirconate comprised of two distinct layers with different porosity was fabricated by pulsed laser deposition method for a low-temperature solid oxide fuel cell electrolyte to enhance electrode reactions and suppress electric short-circuit problem simultaneously. At 250°C, the peak power density of bi-layer electrolyte fuel cell was ~2mW/cm2, which is ~56% higher than that of single-layer electrolyte fuel cell due to significant reduction of cathodic activation loss. A set of materials characterizations revealed that the differences in compositions and micro-structures at the electrolytes accounts for the improved performance.
