Abstract:
Future generation of micro solid oxide fuel cells (µSOFC) and micro planar ceramic oxygen sensor (l sensor) have to operate at lower temperature (350 - 450°C) due to application of thin film technologies. Thin films of Ni-YSZ anodes or reference electrodes were fabricated by Pulsed Laser Deposition – Radio Frequency (PLD-RF) by variation the level of doped Ni between 0-50%. The structural, optical and electrical characterization of 10%, 15%, 20% and 50% where made with X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Variable Spectroscopic Ellipsometry (VVASE) and Dielectric Spectroscopy (EIS). Ni-8YSZ thin films show a well- defined porous network and electrical conductivity; at high level Ni doping it shows metallic behavior.
