Abstract
In order to improve the performance of the anode of solid oxide fuel cells, the cermet anodes were synthesized by employing a carbonate co-precipitation method and calcined at different temperatures (500 °C-800 °C). The fabrication of pellet from calcined powder was done by uniaxial pressing. These pellets were then characterized to investigate the effect of calcination temperature on their microstructure, thermal behavior, porosity, and carbonate bonding along with conductivity. The carbonates formed within the synthesis process has shown a strong effect over the properties of the Ni-SDC. It is observed that Ni-SDC maintained its chemical compatibility during each process. The thermal gravimetric analysis showed that more weight loss occurred for the specimen calcined at low temperature. Due to the porosity increases with calcination electronic conductivity and performance will also be enhanced.
