Scandium-doped zirconium, ScSZ-based electrolyte, provides higher oxygen conductivity than YSZ and nano-based electrolyte materials are ideal for fabricating thin film electrolyte membrane of SOFC unit cell. Moreover, it may be applied to anode and cathode as well as electrolyte as ionic conductor. In this report, nano-based ScSZ-based electrolyte powder was prepared by co-precipitation synthesis. The particle size, surface area and morphology of the powder were observed by SEM and BET. Thin film electrolyte of under $10{\mu}m$ was fabricated by tape casting and co-firing using the synthesized ScSZ-based powders, and ionic conductivity and gas permeability of electrolyte film were evaluated. Finally, the SOFC unit cell was fabricated using the anode-supported electrolyte prepared by a tape casting method and co-sintering. Electrochemical evaluations of the SOFC unit cell, including measurements such as power density and impedance, were performed and analyzed.

ZnO-BaO-$SiO_2-Al_2O_3$계 유리 및 결정화 유리 시편들을 제조하여 평판형 고체산화물 연료전지 봉착재로의 이용가능성을 조사하였다 구성층과 일치되는 열팽창 계수 및 화학적 안정성을 봉착재로의 적용에 있어 판단 기준으로 정하였다 실험된 다양한 조성의 유리 및 결정화 유리 시편들중 7.79ZnO-58.52BaO-$28.69SiO_2-5Al_2O_3$(ZBS3-A5) 결정화 유리의 측정된 열팽창 계수값은 $11.02\times10^{-6/^{\circ}C}$로써 YSZ 및 LSC의 평균 열팽창 계수 값과의 차이가 $0.07\timestimes10^{-6/^{\circ}C}$로 매우 작아 봉착시 열응력 발생의 최소화를 기대할수 있었다 이런 ZBS3-A5+LSC 접합 couple의 경우는 ZnCr2O4 의 dis-crete한 입자가 결정화 유리 부위에 형성되었고 역시 시간의 증가에 따라 이러한 입자의 성장은 없었다 특히 ZBS3-A5 구성 성분인 Ba, Zn, Sil 그리고 Al의 YSZ 및 LSC로의 확산은 없어 봉착후에 YSZ 및 LSC의 전기적 특성에 악영향을 미치지 않으리라 판단되었다.

Electrochemical cell, $Pt|air(PO_2=5.3{\times}10^{-3}atm)|Zr_{0.85}Ca_{0.15}O_{1.85}|air(PO_2= 0.21atm)|Pt$, has been designed to characterize the solid electrolyte and the temperature dependence of the electromotive force (EMF) has been measured in a temperature range of 600∼1000${\circ}$C. Solid electrolyte shows pure ionic conduction of the oxygen anion. The Fe-FexO, Co-CoO, Ni-NiO, and Cu2O-CuO electrodes have been prepared by mixing the 1 : 1 mole ratio of each metal and metal oxide and then by heating at 800${\circ}$C for 6 hours. Electrochemical cells, Pt│M(s), $MO(s)|Zr_{0.85}Ca_{0.15}O_{1.85}|air(PO_2=0.21atm)|Pt$, have been designed and the temperature dependence of the EMF has also been measured in the same temperature range. The changes of the thermodynamic state functions for the formation of the metal oxides are calculated from the electromotive forces and their temperature dependences. The material properties of the oxide systems are also discussed with the function changes.

Solid oxide fuel cells have a limitation in their low-temperature application due to the low ionic conductivity of electrolyte materials and difficulties in thin film formation on porous gas diffusion layer. These problems can be solved by improvement of ionic conductivity through controlled nanostructure of electrolyte and adopting nanoporous electrodes as substrates which have homogeneous submicron pore size and highly flattened surface. In this study, ultra-thin oxide films having submicron thickness without gas leakage are deposited on nanoporous substrates. By oxidation of metal thin films deposited onto nanoporous anodic alumina substrates with pore size of $20nm{\sim}200nm$ using dc-magnetron sputtering at room temperature, ultra-thin and dense ionic conducting oxide films with submicron thickness are realized. The specific material properties of the thin films including gas permeation, grain/gran boundaries formation, change of crystalline structure/microstructure by phase transition are investigated for optimization of ultra thin film deposition process.

Performance of single cell at solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system is largely affected by electrocatalytic and thermal properties of cathode. Samarium-based perovskite oxide material is recently recognized as promising cathode material for intermediate temperature-operating SOFC due to its high electrocatalytic property. Perovskite structured $Sm_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_{3-\delta}$ and its composite material, $Sm_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_{3-\delta}/Sm_{0.2}Ce_{0.8}O_{1.9}$ were investigated in terms of area specific resistance (ASR), thermal expansion coefficient (TEC), thermal cycling and long term performance. $Sm_{0.2}Ce_{0.8}O_{1.9}$ was used as electrolyte material. Electrochemical ac impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and dilatometer were used to measure the cathodic properties. Composite cathode ($Sm_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_{3-\delta}$: $Sm_{0.2}Ce_{0.8}O_{1.9}$ = 6:4) showed a good ASR of 0.13${\Omega}$ $cm^2$ at 650$^{\circ}C$ and its TEC value was 12.3${\times}$10-6/K at 600$^{\circ}C$ which is similar to the value of ceria-based electrolyte of 11.9${\times}$10-6/K. Performance of composite cathode was maintained with no degradation even after 13 times thermal cycle test.
