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: 11Citation - Scopus: 12Electrical Properties of Gadolinia Doped Ceria Electrolytes Fabricated by Infiltration Aided Sintering(Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Sındıraç, Can; Büyükaksoy, Aligül; Akkurt, SedatCommon solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) electrolyte materials (e.g., gadolinia doped ceria - GDC) demand temperatures exceeding 1400 degrees C for densification by conventional solid state sintering. It is very desirable to reduce the densification of the SOFC electroltytes to i) avoid microstructural coarsening of the composite anode layers, which are co-sintered with the electolyte layer in the anode supported SOFC fabrication scheme and ii) reduce energy consumption during SOFC manufacturing. We have recently demostrated a novel infiltration-aided sintering route to densify GDC ceramics at 1200 degrees C. In the present work, we present the electrical properties of GDC ceramics fabricated thusly. Comparison of high density (>= 95%) samples fabricated by conventional or infiltration-aided sintering reveal that at 700 degrees C, similar total electrical conductivities are obtained, while at 300 degrees C, specific grain boundary resistivity is smaller in the latter. Bulk (grain) conductivity is higher in porous GDC ceramics (relative density <= 90%) fabricated by infiltration-aided sintering than the conventionally sintered ones with similar porosities. Finally, open circuit voltage of 0.84 V at 700 degrees C, obtained under dilute hydrogen and stagnant air conditions suggests that GDC ceramics densified by infiltration-aided sintering are suitable for use as SOFC electrolytes.
