Electrophoretic deposition of thin SOFC-electrolyte films on porous La0,75Sr0,2MnO3-delta cathodes
Solid oxide fuel cells with an electrode supported thin film electrolyte (electrolyte thickness 5 mum < d < 20 mum) are a promising alternative to electrolyte supported single cells because of decreased electrolyte resistance. The electrophoretic deposition (EPD) was performed on A-site deficient La0.75Sr0.21MnO3-delta (ULSM) from three different Suspensions: (Y2O3)(0.08)(ZrO2)(0.92) (YSZ), (Ce0.9Gd0.1)O-1.955 (GDC) and La0.9Sr0.1Ga0.8Mg0.2O2.85 (LSGM) in acetylacetone and isopropanol. The thickness of the deposits was controlled by varying the conditions of the electrophoretic deposition.
