Constrained and Non-Constrained Sintering of Plasma-Sprayed Zirconia Based Electrolytes for SOFCs

Article Preview

Abstract:

Electrolyte layers for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) consisting typically of yttria-stabilized zirconia were prepared using atmospheric plasma spraying in a first step and sintered in a second one. The influence of particle size on sintering kinetics and microstructure development was analyzed by comparison of nanostructured and conventional YSZ layers. Sintering of free-standing coatings differ significantly from that of coatings on substrates.
