Practical solid oxide fuel cells with anodes derived from self-assembled mesoporous-NiO-YSZ.

ABSTRACT

Solid oxide fuel cells comprised of an anode made from sintered and reduced mesoporous-NiO-YSZ are shown to provide stable current and power densities at the operating temperature of 800 degrees C and show better performance than cells with anode cermets made from mechanical mixtures of NiO and YSZ, attributable to the unique anode microstructure.
