Abstract A water-based tape casting slurry is reported to prepare the ceria and scandia co-doped zirconia (ScSZ) electrolyte films. The slurry is characterized and optimized through Zeta potential and rheological property measurements. Smooth and flat ScSZ electrolyte films are obtained by improving the sintering process. The microstructure, electrical performance, and mechanical property of ScSZ with adding different contents of Al2O3 are also investigated. The results show that a proper amount of Al2O3 has a beneficial effect on the densification of ScSZ. Significant decrease at the grain boundary resistance of ScSZ is observed by Al2O3 addition. The bending strength of the sample with 0.5 wt.% Al2O3 (ScSZ-0.5A) is about 400 MPa, which is 20% higher than pure ScSZ. The ScSZ-0.5A electrolyte film fabricated by water-based tape casting method shows appropriate electrical conductivity and high mechanical strength, which is promising for the practical application in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs).

Samarium (Sm) is a rare earth material that shows promise for use in cathodes of intermediate temperature-operating solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs). Perovskite-structured oxide containing Sm has very attractive electrocatalytic properties, and spinel-structured oxide generally exhibits low thermal expansion, indicating its suitability for application as a SOFC cathode. In this paper, the characteristics of the various Sm-based oxide materials (Sm-Sr-(Co,Fe,Ni)-O) deposited on Sm0.2Ce0.8O1.9 (SDC) electrolyte pellets were investigated in terms of their microstructure, sinterability and electrochemical properties. The relationship between the composition and the sintering temperature was studied and discussed. Results show that the substitution of iron (Fe) and nickel (Ni) in Co-sites affects the sinterability, adhesion to the electrolyte and electrochemical activity, such that the different sintering temperatures for these compositions should be considered. The microstructure and sinterability of the cathodes were investigated using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Area specific resistance (ASR) values for all cathode compositions were measured using AC electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).
