Abstract

The technique of solution aerosol thermolysis (SAT) for the production of components suitable for operation of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) is reviewed. Major advantages of the technique include its versatility, low cost, and control of the product stoichiometry at droplet level. Progress in understanding the major physicochemical parameters that play a role in final film morphology is emphasized.
