Electrical properties of gadolinia-doped ceria thin films deposited by sputtering in view of SOFC application
Tóm tắt
Gadolinia-doped ceria (GDC) remains, up to now, the most promising candidate for replacing yttria-stabilised zirconia (YSZ) as electrolyte for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) operating at intermediate temperature. Literature data point out that GDC could be used as electrolyte, anode material, or interlayers for avoiding the chemical interactions occurring at the interfaces. In the present work, GDC thin layers were produced by d.c. reactive magnetron sputtering and deposited over a thickness domain between 450 nm and 5.5 µm. According to our knowledge, the deposition of GDC sputtered layers has never been reported. The physicochemical features of these thin films have been characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Impedance measurements have been carried out in order to determine the electrical properties of electrolyte thin films and in particular their ionic conductivity.
