RESUMO
ABSTRACT GDC-YSZ bi-layer SOFC electrolytes are an interesting manner to protect GDC electrolytes of the low oxygen partial pressure present at anode-electrolyte interface. This oxygen partial pressure condition and high temperatures during the operation of SOFC permit GDC electrolyte reduction injuring the performance of SOFC. In this work, GDC-YSZ bi-layer electrolytes were prepared using double tape casting technique. Single layers of YSZ and GDC electrolytes were also prepared by the same technique for comparison. All samples were sintered at 1600 °C/2 h in air and analyzed by SEM and impedance spectroscopy technique. A good adhesion was established between the layer GDC and YSZ and no cracks were detected despite the differential firing shrinkage. The electrical conductivity of GDC-YSZ bi-layer sample at 350 °C was 7.98x10-5 S.cm-1 and for GDC and YSZ single layer samples electrical conductivities were 1.89x10-4 S.cm-1 and 4.71x10-5 S.cm-1, respectively. These results show that GDC-YSZ bi-layer electrolyte is superior to YSZ single layer electrolyte.
