A thin layer of a vertically aligned nanocomposite (VAN) structure of PrBaCo2O5+delta (PBCO) and Ce0.9Gd0.1O1.95 (GDC) between the cathode and the electrolyte was demonstrated by a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique for thin film solid oxide fuel cells (TFSOFCs). The VAN structured PBCO/GDC thin film shows high quality epitaxial growth on single crystal SrTiO3 substrate at high deposition temperatures. It also has a lattice matching relation between the PBCO and GDC vertical nanocolumns. The symmetric cells with the VAN interlayer are found to have a lower area specific resistance (ASR) of 2.1 Q cm2 compared to that of the ones without the interlayer (2.5 Omega cm(2)) at 400 C. The maximum power density of the single cell prepared with the VAN interlayer was 151, 263. and 350 mW cm(-2), respectively, at 650, 700, and 750 degrees C with an open circuit voltage (OCV) of 0.88 V at 750 degrees C. The PBCO/GDC VAN interlayer could perform as a transition layer that enhances adhesion and relieves stress from different thermal expansion coefficients (TECs) and lattice parameters between the cathode and the electrolyte in TESOFCs.
