In this study, we developed a composite anode support composed of La-doped SrTiO3 (LST) and Gd-doped CeO2 (GDC) using a tape casting process for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). By adjusting the pore former content in the slurry, we constructed a bilayered structure consisting of a porous anode support layer (ASL) and a dense anode functional layer (AFL) with the same material composition. The number of tape-cast sheets was controlled to tailor the overall thickness, and lamination followed by co-sintering at 1250oC resulted in a mechanically robust bilayer. We characterized the microstructural evolution concerning sintering temperature and pore former content using SEM, while XRD confirmed the phase stability of LST and GDC. The measured electrical conductivity at 750oC ensured sufficient electron transport. To enhance interfacial adhesion and suppress secondary phase formation, we introduced a GDC buffer layer and a pre-sintering treatment prior to electrolyte deposition. A full cell with a YSZ electrolyte and LSCF cathode achieved a stable open circuit voltage of approximately 0.7 V and demonstrated continuous operation at 750oC. These findings highlight the suitability of LST-GDC composite anodes as thermochemically stable supports, potentially enabling direct hydrocarbon utilization in intermediate-temperature SOFCs.

Resistant Characteristics of AAO-Based Thin Film Solid Oxide Fuel Cells Using Ni-GDC Anode by GLAD Method
Jaewon Yoo, Myung Seok Lee, Yang Jae Kim, Suk Won Cha
J. Korean Soc. Precis. Eng. 2023;40(4):335-340.
Published online April 1, 2023
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7736/JKSPE.022.135
In this study, we fabricated thin film solid oxide fuel cells on nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) substrate for low-temperature operation using the all-through sputtering method. To deposit up to a three-micrometer thick anode with both porosity and electrical conductivity, we used the glancing angle deposition and co-sputtering methods. For the anode materials, we used nickel gadolinium-doped-ceria (Ni-GDC) mixed ionic and electronic conductor (MIEC), which improved hydrogen oxidation reaction reactivity at the anode side. TF-SOFCs were successfully operated at 500℃, and 223.6 mW/cm² was their highest measured maximum power density. We conducted structural and electrochemical analyses to figure out cells’ unique resistant characteristics; ohmic resistance through the anode thin film and polarization resistance of reaction area near the narrowed anode pores. We found how the anode thin film thickness affects the current collecting performance and the anode reactivity, and their effects were qualitatively and quantitatively compared.

Improvement of Electrolyte Layer Coating Quality Using Statistical Optimization
Seongyong Kim, Changwoo Lee
J. Korean Soc. Precis. Eng. 2019;36(2):149-153.
Published online February 1, 2019
DOI: https://doi.org/10.7736/KSPE.2019.36.2.149
Slot-die coating technique has become a subject of interest owing to its mass and large area production characteristics. To date, numerous research on the fluid dynamics of coated solution and experimental decision of the coating conditions to improve quality of coated layer have been conducted. However, few studies have been done on the optimization of slot-die coater geometry owing to the high cost associated with its fabrication. In this study, we optimize the geometry of the slotdie coater using computational fluid dynamics. We used a statistical optimization technique (Box-Behnken design). In the optimization process, we determined the significant factors that affect the velocity variation of coated fluid in the transverse direction. An optimal geometry was derived using a desirability test which is generally used to evaluate the suitability of a selected geometry value based on the maximization of the velocity uniformity. Experimental results presenting the uniformity of the coated layer in the transverse direction improved from 4.7% to 1.4%.
