Abstract

Developments of intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells and electrocatalytic reactors require novel electrode and catalyst materials with high performance at 800–1100 K, low-cost processing technologies, and methods for nano-scale surface modification of ion-conducting ceramics. This work presents one promising technique for the synthesis of nanocrystalline powders and components of the electrochemical cells, based on the use of structure-modified cellulose containing metal cations.
