What is it about?

Ceramic low-temperature fuel cell is a promising clean energy technology. Electrodes are key components in the fuel cell. Here two different synthesis methods to produce LiNiCuZn-oxide electrode materials were investigated: a slurry and a conventional solid preparation method. The cells fabricated using the electrode materials prepared with the slurry method had a 50% lower polarization resistance in air.

Why is it important?

With a slurry method, the particle size is mauch smaller, or 10 nm-100 nm, which leads to better performance.

Perspectives

The slurry method is recommended for making the electrodes of LT-SOFC.
