This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will develop high-performance and commercially attractive solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFC) using a unique and cost-effective laser- based deposition technique based upon laser pyrolysis, Laser Reactive Deposition (LRD), and single stage sintering. The project addresses simultaneously the economic and performance barriers delaying SOFC commercialization and will focus on identifying the anode and thin-film electrolyte LRDTM processing conditions that yield optimal microstructures in both layers after sintering at temperatures suitable for single-stage sintering of complete anode/electrolyte/cathode cells.By overcoming the economical and technical barriers for SOFC mass commercialization, the project will enable adoption of fuel cells as environmentally benign alternatives to current fossil fuel based generation methods and will reduce the dependence on imported oil. In addition fuel cell enabled distributed generation greatly increases power supply security and reliability by eliminating central grid dependence. Additionally, LRD, laser-based nanomaterials synthesis and deposition technology, has many potential applications in electronic, optical, energy storage, and energy conversion applications.

这个小型企业创新研究(SBIR)第一阶段项目将开发高性能和具有商业吸引力的固体氧化物燃料电池(SOFC)，使用基于激光热解、激光反应沉积(LRD)和单步烧结的独特且经济高效的激光沉积技术。该项目同时解决了阻碍SOFC商业化的经济和性能障碍，并将专注于确定阳极和薄膜电解液LRDTM工艺条件，使其在适合完整的阳极/电解液/阴极电池单步烧结的温度下烧结后，在两层中产生最佳的微结构。通过克服SOFC大规模商业化的经济和技术障碍，该项目将使燃料电池能够作为当前基于化石燃料的发电方法的环境友好替代品，并将减少对进口石油的依赖。此外，燃料电池支持的分布式发电消除了对中央电网的依赖，大大提高了供电的安全性和可靠性。此外，基于激光的纳米材料合成和沉积技术在电子、光学、储能和能量转换等领域具有潜在的应用前景。
