Surface engineering of nanoporous substrate for solid oxide fuel cells with atomic layer-deposited electrolyte
نویسندگان
چکیده
Solid oxide fuel cells with atomic layer-deposited thin film electrolytes supported on anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) are electrochemically characterized with varying thickness of bottom electrode catalyst (BEC); BECs which are 0.5 and 4 times thicker than the size of AAO pores are tested. The thicker BEC ensures far more active mass transport on the BEC side and resultantly the thicker BEC cell generates ≈11 times higher peak power density than the thinner BEC cell at 500 °C.

Comparison between ultrathin films of YSZ deposited at the solid oxide fuel cell cathode/electrolyte interface by atomic layer deposition, dip-coating or sputtering
The effect of an 80 nm YSZ interfacial layer, deposited onto a YSZ pellet by different techniques (dip-coating, sputtering and atomic layer deposition) at the SOFC cathode/electrolyte interface to allow a maximum adhesion of the thick cathode layer, was thoroughly analysed. The LSM cathode was deposited on the solid electrolyte by painting and sintered in air at 1200°C for 2 h. The morphologica...
متن کاملAtomic layer deposition-based functionalization of materials for medical and environmental health applications
Nanoporous alumina membranes exhibit high pore densities, well-controlled and uniform pore sizes, as well as straight pores. Owing to these unusual properties, nanoporous alumina membranes are currently being considered for use in implantable sensor membranes and water purification membranes. Atomic layer deposition is a thin-film growth process that may be used to modify the pore size in a nan...
متن کاملThe study of Oxidation Behavior of AISI 439 Steel at the Presence of Manganese Oxides for the Application in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
Long–term stability and oxidation resistance of AISI 439 ferritic stainless steel used as interconnects in solid oxide fuel cells can be improved by use of a protective coating. In this study the pack cementation method was employed to coat AISI 439 ferritic stainless steel with manganese. Isothermal oxidation was conducted at 800 ºC for 200 hours in static air to investigate the role of coatin...
متن کاملNumerical analysis of reactant transport in the novel tubular polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells
In present work, numerical analysis of three novel PEM fuel cells with tubular geometry was conducted. Tree different cross section was considered for PEM, namely: circular, square and triangular. Similar boundary and operational conditions is applied for all the geometries. At first, the obtained polarization curve for basic architecture fuel cells was validated with experimental data and then...
