Abstract

Yttria-stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) is deposited on anode substrates by two untreated and thermally assisted slurry spin coating methods. During the spin coating process, the heating of the substrate increases the affected area and optimally densifies the particles before sintering. We find out that the thermally assisted deposition method can reduce the activation energies of both interfacial and Ohmic resistances with respect to the conventional way. The output power measurements show higher values for the samples prepared by this method. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements of single cells also show that both resistances reduce. Scanning electron microscopy studies show that the porosity of the YSZ layer coated by the proposed method is lower than that of the untreated layer.
