Abstract
A technique for formation of electrolyte thin films with the thickness of 6–10 μm of zirconia stabilized by yttria (YSZ) is developed on the basis of the method of chemical deposition from the vapor phase of organometallic compounds (MOCVD). Planar electrochemical cells based on film electrolyte with a supporting anode with the working surface area of 12 cm2 were manufactured. A solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) based on two fuel cells was developed and its life cycle tests at reduced operating temperatures (<800°C) were carried out for 400 h. The maximum power density reached in the SOFC tests was 316 mW/cm2.
