Abstract

Effects of channel size in NiO-YSZ porous substrate were studied on power density in solid oxide fuel cell mode and electrolysis current in steam electrolysis mode. It was found that the cell deposited on anode substrate with larger pore diameter shows a superior performance. The LSGM cell prepared on Ni-YSZ tube with average channel diameter of ca. 2.5 μm shows the maximum power density of 0.36 W cm−2 in SOFC mode and 0.42 A cm−2 at 1.6 V in SOEC mode at 873 K. Spike potential noise which may be caused by insufficient gas diffusion in NiO-YSZ porous substrate was observed under constant current electrolysis condition in case of NiO-YSZ tube with narrow channel and the spike noise is suppressed by increasing channel size. NiO-YSZ tube with large channel size is also effective for increasing long term stability in electrolysis mode.
