摘要: Abstract A three-dimensional hexagonal gadolinium-doped ceria (GDC) interlayer is fabricated to enhance the cathodic surface area of low-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (LT-SOFCs). By using modified nanosphere lithography method, 3-D nanostructure successfully fabricated. As a result nanostructuring, GDC has 70% increase in area. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy reveals 2-fold decrease electrode resistance compared with plane cell, resulting current–voltage behavior 60% higher peak power density. The superior reaction attributed large (~ 1.7 times larger) due interlayer. This novel fabrication method can be applied almost all kinds LT-SOFC structures, including large-scale and substrate-supported platforms, thereby it will contribute commercializing LT-SOFCs.
