Keywords:
thin-film solid oxide fuel cells, porous anode, electrochemical etching, electrolyte, pulsed laser depositionAbstract
The work represents a simple fabrication method of a porous nickel anode for thin film solid oxide fuel cells. The porous nickel anode is fabricated using a metal/pore-former mixing method with different rations of powder followed by pressing and heat treatment. The process of obtaining a porous nickel anode by pressing of nickel and aluminum powders is shown. Further sintering of the samples and etching of aluminum from the obtained anode structure. The electrolyte layer was sputtered by pulsed laser deposition. Scanning electron microscope and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis are represented in article.
