Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 1Effects of Electrospraying Parameters on Deposition of La0.3sr0.7fe0.7cr0.3o3−δ Cathode Layer on Gdc(Wiley, 2022) Akkurt, Sedat; Sındıraç, Can; Özmen Egesoy, Tuğçe; Atıcı, Gökçe; Erişman, Elif; Erğen, Emre; Büyükaksoy, AligülHigh performance in intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells requires improvements especially in the microstructure of the cathode layer. New cobalt-free cathode materials are used because cobalt-containing cathodes have higher thermal expansion coefficients, poor long-term chemical stability, and lower mechanical stability. Recently cobalt-free cathodes have been proposed to solve these issues by using deposition methods other than electrospray deposition (ESD). In this study, ESD method is used to develop a cobalt-free cathode layer. The electrolyte layer is gadolinium-doped ceria that is deposited with La0.3Sr0.7Fe0.7 Cr0.3O3−δ (LSFCr) prepared by 2-butoxyethanol and ethylene glycol solvents as opposed to conventional solvents. Experimental ESD parameters are tested at different levels and combinations by applying statistical experimental design methods to optimize the microstructure. Coating deposited as such demonstrated higher electrochemical performance than similar electrodes fabricated by other methods.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 15Electrochemical Performance of La0.6sr0.4co0.2fe0.8o3-Ce0.9gd0.1o2 Composite Sofc Cathodes Fabricated by Electrocatalyst And/Or Electrocatalyst-Ionic Conductor Infiltration(Springer, 2019) Sındıraç, Can; Büyükaksoy, Aligül; Akkurt, SedatInfiltration of electrocatalyst precursor solutions into previously sintered porous ionic conductor scaffolds has been used recently as an alternative method to the conventional co-sintering route to fabricate electrocatalyst-ionic conductor composites for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) cathode applications. However, the aqueous nitrate solutions generally used to perform the infiltration process results in electrocatalyst precipitates that are disconnected from each other, yielding poor electrode performance. In this work, polymeric electrocatalyst (La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-LSCF) precursors that produce interconnected thin films upon heat treatment were used to infiltrate porous ionic conductor Ce0.9Gd0.1O2-delta (GDC) scaffolds to overcome these issues. In addition, for the first time in the literature, a mixture of LSCF and GDC polymeric precursors, which would yield LSCF-GDC nanocomposite coatings on the grains of the porous GDC scaffold were used as the infiltration solution. Thus, further enhancement of the electrocatalyst/ionic conductor interfacial area and achievement of improved electrode performance was aimed. As a result of the optimization studies, the lowest measured area specific polarization resistance (ASR(cathode)) values of 0.47 and 0.73 omega.cm(2) were obtained for polymeric LSCF+GDC and LSCF precursor infiltrations respectively at 700 degrees C, in air. In addition, LSCF+GDC infiltration yielded electrodes with much improved long-term stability in comparison to those obtained by LSCF infiltration. [GRAPHICS] .
