Abstract Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) with liquid antimony anodes (LAAs) are potential energy conversion technology for impurity-containing fuels. Atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) technology has become a promising LAA-SOFC preparation method because of its economy and convenience. In this paper, button SOFCs with different cathode materials and pore former ratio were prepared by the APS method and measured at 750℃. The effect of cathode structure on the electrochemical performance of the LAA-SOFCs was analyzed, and an optimized spraying method for LAA-SOFCs was developed. A tubular LAA-SOFC was prepared by the APS method based on the optimized spraying method and a peak power of 2.5 W was reached. The tubular cell was also measured at a constant current of 2 A for 20 hours and fed with a sulfur-containing fuel to demonstrate the impurity resistance and the long-term stability.

Abstract A new plasma spray process was developed for the rapid deposition of very dense electrolyte layers for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The dense yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) film was prepared by a center-injection low pressure plasma spraying (CI-VPS) process on various substrates in a triple-torch reactor. For deposition on porous substrates, an intermediate layer was applied using conventional atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) to close the large pores in the substrate. The films were characterized by XRD, SEM, and EMPA. The porosity of the film was analyzed by computerized image analysis of the micrographs. The film was also fractured by four-point bending to characterize the nature of bonding of layer-to-layer and within the deposit. The film analysis showed that YSZ layers with porosities of 0.3 % could be obtained at very high deposition rates with the CI-VPS process, with a very good functional performance of the layer as an electrolyte. Building of a complete SOFC by successive deposition of an atmospheric pressure sprayed porous cermet film, the dense YSZ electrolyte layer, and a porous perovskite film is discussed.
