Estimation of micro-size defects in electrolyte thin-film by X-ray stress measurement for anode-supported solid oxide fuel cells

For anode-supported solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), huge internal stress is generated in an electrolyte thin-film due to the difference of the coefficient of thermal expansion from an anode substrate. Micro-size defects are sometimes formed in the electrolyte thin-film during a manufacturing process...

description For anode-supported solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), huge internal stress is generated in an electrolyte thin-film due to the difference of the coefficient of thermal expansion from an anode substrate. Micro-size defects are sometimes formed in the electrolyte thin-film during a manufacturing process, when the huge internal stress is released. The defects in the electrolyte thin-film cause cross leakage of fuel and air, which deteriorate the anode-supported SOFCs rapidly. The mechanical reliability of the electrolyte thin-film is important to prevent initial failure for cells and stacks. In the present work, the internal stress was evaluated by X-ray for planar anode-supported SOFCs with and without micro-size defects in an electrolyte thin-film. A compressive stress of 501-561 MPa was observed for yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte thin-film without micro-size defects on NiO-YSZ anode substrate sintered at 1350-1400 ℃.
