Low Temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cells with Electrolytes Made by Electrochemical Vapor Depostion (EVD)

这项拟议的研究涉及在燃料电池中使用低温固体电解质。拟议的研究解决了低电子和高离子导电性的材料要求。提出的方法是形成两层复合电解液。第一层将是CeO2基或钙钛矿基高离子导电性的固体电解质，在其上沉积一层薄薄的氧化锆层，使用电化学气相沉积来阻止电子电流。

The proposed research is concerned with the use of low temperature solid electrolytes in fuel cells. The proposed research addresses the material requirements for low electronic and high ionic conductivity. The proposed approach is the formation of a two layer composite electrolyte. The first layer will be a CeO2 -based or perovskite-based solid electrolyte with high ionic conductivity upon which a thin layer of zirconia is deposited, using electrochemical vapor deposition, to block the electronic current.
