Abstract

A 10 mol%Sc₂O₃, 1 mol%CeO₂ stabilized-ZrO₂ (SSZ) powder was successfully prepared using the sol-gel method. Subsequent SSZ electrolyte pellets were prepared by tape casting technique and sintered at 1400 °C, 1450 °C, 1500 °C, 1550 °C and 1600 °C. These were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). SSZ showed a pure cubic phase after sintering, the grain size of SSZ increased with the increase of sintering temperature. The SSZ sintered at 1550 °C showed the highest ion conductivity. The maximum power densities of Ni-SSZ/SSZ/La_0.8Sr_0.2MnO_3-δ (LSM)-SSZ single cells sintered at 1550 °C were 0.18, 0.36, 0.51 and 0.72 W cm^-2 at 650, 700, 750 and 800 °C, respectively. The polarization resistance (R_p) of the single cell attained 0.201 Ω cm² at 800 °C.
