Abstract

This work presents the last progresses in the development of thin oxidic proton conducting electrolytes supported on mixed conducting cermets making use of a solid state reaction. The procedure includes preparation routes applying solid state transformation of an already-gastight oxide layer (typically doped zirconia and ceria) by reacting with an alkali-earths layer (stoichiometric amount) deposited by screen printing on top of that. This kind of supported films can find application as IT-SOFC, H2-membranes and advanced catalytic converters. Thin-film (∼5μm) proton conducting membranes with the nominal composition as for instance BaZr0.85Y0.15O3-δ and BaCe0.8Gd0.2O3-δ were prepared over porous Ni-8YSZ or Ni-CGO substrates by solid state reaction. The produced films are gastight with a homogeneous composition, and showed a highly crystalline cubic perovskite structure. The solid state reaction promoted the formation of (i) a different grain size distribution from 0.1 μm for barium zirconate to 2-3μm for barium cerate, and (b) the formation of a porous fibrous top-layer (for barium zirconate) or a just flat surface (for strontium zirconate), depending on the exact composition of the reacting oxides.
