Fabrication of cathode supported SOFC by colloidal processing

Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) has been used to grow thin films of solid oxide fuel cell components on a porous cathode support. EPD exploits a surface charge on particles in a stable suspension migrating in the presence of an appropriate electric field to effect the consolidation of particles onto any shaped substrate. In this investigation, both flat and tubular supports have been used. Both types of supports were fabricated using tape …
