Abstract:
Systems and methods for high performing in-situ SOFC cathodes, demonstrating self-improved performance over time. Exemplary embodiments include a SOFC including an electrolyte layer, an anode coupled to the electrolyte layer and a cathode coupled to the electrolyte layer, wherein the anode is prepared by applying an anode contact layer to the anode layer and applying anode bond paste to the anode contact layer, wherein the cathode is prepared by screen printing a cathode layer on the electrolyte with or without a barrier layer, and applying cathode bond paste to the dried cathode layer and drying the cathode bond paste in an oven.
