dc.description.abstractThis study focuses on the development and optimization of nanostructured anode electrodes for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) by infiltration method. Ni (nickel) catalyst in the form of a nickel nitrate solution is infiltrated into porous YSZ (yttria stabilized zirconia) backbone fabricated by tape casting. Numerous electrolyte-supported cells are fabricated to investigate the effects of several significant infiltration fabrication parameters such as catalyst loading and infiltration sintering temperature. Conventional cell with screen printed Ni-YSZ anode is also fabricated for comparison. Electrochemical performances and microstructural properties of the cells are examined and evaluated. The best peak performance of 0.398 W/cm2 at 800 degrees C is obtained from the cell, which is infiltrated 9 times with 2 M solution followed by firing at 800 degrees C. The conventional cell, on the hand, exhibits only 0.174 W/cm2 under the same testing conditions in spite of the relatively higher Ni catalyst content in the anode. Furthermore, the optimized cell produces 0.169 W/cm2 maximum power density at 700 degrees C. The overall results reveal that nickel catalyst infiltration is a very effective method to improve the cell performance by providing increased number of electrochemical reaction zones within the anode electrode due to nanostructured nickel catalyst formed around the main YSZ phase.
