    Effects of Electrospraying Parameters on Deposition of La0.3sr0.7fe0.7cr0.3o3−δ Cathode Layer on Gdc

    High 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.

    Microstructural Investigation of the Effect of Electrospraying Parameters on Lscf Films
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2020) Sındıraç, Can; Akkurt, Sedat
    Intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFC) require an effectively functioning cathode layer whose performance depends largely on their microstructures. Improved electrochemical performance of the cathode layer can be possible by tailoring the microstructure to ensure that both the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) occurs fast along the triple-phase boundaries (TPB) and the diffusion pathway is short enough for fast ion diffusion through the cathode layer. Electro spray deposition (ESD) method is a low-cost deposition method which allows the optimization of microstructure by changing the spraying parameters. In this study, gadolinium doped ceria (GDC) electrolyte layer is deposited with La1-xSrxCo1-yFeyO3-? (LSCF) derived from polymeric precursor salts, symmetrically. As a solvent couple, 2-butoxyethanol and ethylene glycol are used instead of the conventional solvent couples frequently employed in the literature. The use of the new type of solvents in the precursor solution leads to promising results on modifying the microstructure of the deposited layer. The effect of electrospraying parameters on the cell performance was also studied. Promising results were obtained as measured by impedance spectroscopy when this new solvent couple was employed. © 2020 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC
