Abstract

Gadolinia-doped ceria (GDC, Gd 0.1Ce 0.9O 1.95) powders with high sinterability are prepared by carbonate coprecipitation and applied in the fabrication of Ni-YSZ (yttria-stabilized zirconia)-supported tubular solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) with a cell configuration of Ni-YSZ/Ni/Ni-GDC/GDC/LSCF(La 0.6Sr 0.4Co 0.2Fe 0.8O 3-δ)-GDC/LSCF. A high power density (594 mW cm -2) at 600°C is achieved using the cell (diameter: 6 mm) prepared by sintering of the electrolyte at 1400°C. This result is attributed to the dense electrolyte and good adherence between GDC and the electrode. The carbonate-derived GDC powders can be sintered to 97% of the theoretical density even at 1050°C, which demonstrates that the fabrication temperature of tubular SOFCs can potentially be lowered by using cost-effective Ni-YSZ supports.
