Application of wet powder spraying for anode supported solid oxide fuel cell with a perovskite SrTi sub(0.98)Nb sub(0.02)O sub(3-)[delta]anode

Anode-supported solid oxide fuel cell with SrTi sub(0.98)Nb sub(0.02)O sub(3-)[delta]node, yttria-stabilized zirconia electrolyte and La(Ni sub(0.6)Fe sub(0.4))O sub(3 plus or minus )[delta]cathode has been successfully fabricated and evaluated. Process of anode support fabrication has been presented. Wet powder spraying and high temperature sintering method have been studied and applied to deposit the thin electrolyte layer.In order to improve catalytic properties of the anode, it has been impregnated with Ni. Electrical properties of fuel cells have been measured to determine their performance. The open cell voltage of 1.08V and maximum power density at the level of 160mWcm super(-2) were observed at 800 degree C.
