TL;DR: In this paper, a planar thin-film solid oxide fuel cell has been fabricated with an inexpensive, scalable, technique involving colloidal deposition of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) films on porous NiO-YSZ substrates.

TL;DR: In this paper, the microstructures, secondary phases, and grain boundaries were characterized using a range of analytical techniques including TEM, SEM, AES, and XRD, and the fracture toughness was derived either from bend tests of beam-shaped samples with a controlled surface flaw or from standard disk-shaped compact-tension specimens precracked in cyclic fatigue.

TL;DR: In this paper, a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) membrane was developed in which zirconia-based electrolyte thin films were supported by a porous composite metal/ceramic current collector and were subjected to rapid thermal cycling between 475 and 1075 K (200 and 800 °C).

TL;DR: In this article, a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) anode with high sulfur tolerance was developed starting from a Y-doped SrTiO3 (SYTO)-yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) porous electrode backbone, and infiltrated with nano-sized catalytic ceria and Ru.

TL;DR: Chromium contamination of metal oxides and SOFC cathode catalysts in the range 700-1000°C was studied in this article, where samples are exposed to a moist air atmosphere saturated with volatile Cr species in the presence and absence of direct contact between the sample and ferritic stainless steel powder.
