Abstract

We study the role of structural transformations in the nickel phase under the action of reducing and oxidizing high-temperature (600°С) gaseous atmospheres in the formation of the levels of strength and electric conductivity of NiO-containing materials for the anodes-substrates of ceramic fuel cells. By using the cyclic redox treatment (redox cycling) of NiO oxide, which includes the stages of heating in a vacuum up to a fixed temperature (600°С), reduction of the heated material in a Ar–5 vol.% H2 gaseous mixture, degassing, and oxidation in air at the same temperature, we managed to form a structure guaranteeing the improved physicomechanical characteristics of YSZ–Ni and ScCeSZ–Ni composites.
