ABSTRACTElectrophoretic deposition (EPD) was explored as an inexpensive route for fabricating the 8mol% yttria stabilized zirconia electrolyte in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Normally, deposition of particulate ceramic powders onto a sintered porous surface yields a non uniform coating which, after sintering, results in porosity, surface roughness and cracking in the coating. To overcome this problem, the present study used a fugitive graphite interlayer between the porous air electrode supported (AES) cathode tube (doped-LaMnO3) and the deposited zirconia film. By this approach, a fairly dense green coating (˜ 60%) was obtained, which yielded a smooth surface and pore-free microstructure after sintering. Preliminary results on the effect of a fugitive interlayer on the unfired (green) and fired zirconia coatings are discussed.

The microstructural development of YBa2Cu3Oy (Y-123) coated conductors based on the ion-beam-assisted deposition (IBAD) of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) to produce a biaxially textured template is presented. The architecture of the conductors was Y-123/CeO2/IBAD YSZ/Inconel 625. A continuous and passivating Cr2O3 layer forms between the YSZ layer and the Inconel substrate. CeO2 and Y-123 are closely lattice-matched, and misfit strain is accommodated at the YSZ/CeO2 interface. Localized reactions between the Y-123 film and the CeO2 buffer layer result in the formation of BaCeO3, YCuO2, and CuO. The positive volume change that occurs from the interfacial reaction may act as a kinetic barrier that limits the extent of the reaction. Excess copper and yttrium generated by the interfacial reaction appear to diffuse along grain boundaries and intercalate into Y-123 grains as single layers of the Y-247, Y-248, or Y-224 phases. The interfacial reactions do not preclude the attainment of high critical currents (Ic) and current densities (Jc) in these films nor do they affect to any appreciable extent the nucleation and alignment of the Y-123 film.

Through Mechanical grounding method, CaZrO3 – 8YSZ(8% in mol yttria stabilized zirconia) electrolyte samples with different amounts of CaZrO3 at 10wt%, 20wt%, 30wt% were sintered at different temperatures in Muffle furnace. The decomposition temperature of CaZrO3 is 825°C-900°C under one atmosphere. At high temperature, CaZrO3 decomposes into CaO and ZrO2. So Y2O3-CaO-ZrO2 complex is composed. The effects of the sintering temperature and the contents of the CaZrO3 on the conductivity, porosity, flexure strength, hardness were investigated. XRD and SEM were used to analyse the compositions and microcosmic morphology.
