AbstractThe strong facet-dependent performance of glass-supported CeO2 thin films in different applications (catalysis, smart windows, etc.) has been the target of diverse fundamental and technological approaches. However, the design of accurate, cost-effective and scalable methods with the potential for large-area coverage that produce highly textured glass-supported CeO2 thin films remains a technological challenge. In the present work, it is demonstrated that under proper tuning conditions, the ultrasonic spray pyrolysis technique enables one to obtain glass-supported polycrystalline CeO2 films with noticeable texture along both the (100) and (111) directions, as well as with randomly oriented crystallites (no texture). The influence of flow rates, solution molarity, and substrate temperature on the texture and morphological characteristics, as well as optical absorption and Raman response of the deposited films, is evaluated. The obtained results are discussed on the basis of the combined dependence of the CeO2-exposed surfaces on the thermodynamic stability of the corresponding facets and the reaction kinetics, which modulate the crystallite growth direction.

Many studies have been reported in the literature related to YSZ films deposited on dense substrate or applied directly on the SOFC anode. However, there are not a lot of studies about the YSZ deposition on the cathode. The present work aims to obtain yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), using the spray pyrolysis technique, for their application as electrolyte in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). The films were obtained from a precursor solution containing zirconium and yttrium salts, dissolved in ethanol and propylene glycol (1:1), this solution was sprayed onto a heated LSM porous substrate. The substrate temperature was varied in order to obtain dense and homogeneous films. After deposition, the films were heat treated, aiming to crystallize and stabilize the zirconia cubic phase. The films were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR).
