摘要: Abstract Sintering of Ni in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) anodes (Ni-YSZ) is a major cause anode degradation. To reduce this growth rate, several sintering inhibitors (SiC, SiN, Al2O3, AlN, CeO2 and GDC) were added into Ni-YSZ using powder methods. The modified screen printed on YSZ electrolyte to prepare symmetric half-cells their performance was investigated by long term stability test at high temperature. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the most chemically compatible with materials except Al2O3 AlN. During test, area specific resistance (ASR) measured 1000 °C 25vol% H2 75vol% N2 environment. Triple phase boundary (TPB) density calculated image techniques before after operation. A clear relation found between ASR change rate determined from electrochemical measurements TPB analysis. Moreover, among various inhibitors, GDC exhibited best showing lowest rates. has been discussed view loss during
