Abstract
We report on the systematic examination of the redox behavior of a novel metal-supported SOFC cell type based on a porous Cr/Fe support and a thin YSZ-electrolyte layer applied by PVD methods. The oxidation of the Ni catalyst at the anode and the subsequent damage to the fuel cell microstructure is one of the main contributions to degradation of an SOFC. Our cell concept was tested for tolerance to cyclic oxidation and reduction of the anode, employing gravimetric and electron microscopy methods. The effects of redox cycling on the microstructure are examined and compared to corresponding results from state-of-the-art anode-supported SOFCs.
