    Lowering the sintering temperature of a SOFC by morphology control of the electrolyte powder
    2019 - MACHADO, M.; MORAES, L.P.R.; RODRIGUES, L.N.; RODRIGUES, T.S.; FONSECA, F.C.
    Solid oxide fuel cells are fabricated by two-step sintering at low temperature by controlling the morphology of the gadolinium-doped cerium oxide (GDC) electrolyte powders. The GDC electrolyte was synthesized by a hydrothermal route to obtain highly reactive nanorods that can fully densify at temperatures around 1150 °C. The developed system consists of the GDC electrolyte support, lanthanum strontium cobalt ferrite (LSCF) cathode and Ni/GDC anode. The electrolyte support was prepared by uniaxial die pressing and sintered at 1150 °C, and fuel cells were obtained by co-sintering electrode layers at the same temperature. The performance of the cell was evaluated in hydrogen at intermediate temperatures (IT). The experimental results indicate that high-performance IT-SOFC can be obtained at low sintering temperatures by controlling the morphology of electrolyte powder.
