abstract = {Metal-supported solid oxide fuel cells (MSC) offer various
advantages compared to full ceramic cells. Low-cost
materials and high mechanical ruggedness make MSCs the fuel
cell of choice for mobile applications, such as auxiliary
power units for heavy duty vehicles or range extender
modules for battery electric passenger cars. However,
MSC-specific degradation phenomena occur, as the processing
has to be adapted to the porous metal substrate. For
example, the
La$_{0,58}$Sr$_{0,4}$Co$_{0,2}$Fe$_{0,8}$O$_{3-\delta}$(LSCF)
cathode of the state-of-the-art Plansee MSC is in situ
activated at 850 °C,which differs considerably from the
established cathode sintering at 1040 °C for anode
supported cells. As a result, the cathode adherence on the
Ce$_{0.8}$Gd$_{0.2}$O$_{2-\delta}$ diffusion barrier and
long-term stability during operation are insufficient. The
aim of the present work is to increase the long-term
stability of the LSCF cathode by improving the adherence
strength of the cathode layer. Moreover, an increase of the
cell performance is of interest from an industrial point of
view, in order to lower system weight and volume. Three
approaches were considered: i) development of an ex situ
sintering procedure for complete MSCs under controlled
atmosphere in combination with an increased sintering
temperature; ii) improvement of the cathode adherence after
in situ activation by optimizing the activation conditions
or cathode raw material; and iii) implementation of
alternative cathode materials like
La$_{0,5}$8Sr$_{0,4}$CoO$_{3-\delta}$ (LSC) in order to
increase cell performance. Increased sintering activity and
adherence strength were observed by dilatometry and adhesive
tape test, when increasing the sintering temperature to T
≥ 950 °C. Ex situ sintering of MSCs under argon
atmosphere caused phase decomposition of the cathode
material. The reversibility of this phase decomposition was
confirmed by ambient temperature as well as high-temperature
XRD. Full re-oxidation to single phase perovskite takes
place at T ≥ 750 °C during the heat-up and sealing
procedure prior to cell operation, without damaging the
cathode layer. Cells utilizing Ni/YSZ anode and LSCF cathode
sintered ex situ delivered improved cell performance of 1.4
A/cm$^{2}$ at 785 °C and 0.7 V. 1500 h of continuous
operation (300 mA/cm²,700 °C), without any degradation,
confirmed the long-term stability. Implementationof LSC
cathodes resulted in increased cell performance. 700 h of
operation at 300 mA/cm$^{2}$ and 700 °C did not reveal any
degradation of a cell consisting of Ni/YSZanode and LSC
cathode activated in situ at 850 °C. Promising
low-temperature performance of 0.8 A/cm$^{2}$ at 600 °C and
0.7 V was achieved by utilizing LSC cathodeon cells with
Ni/GDC anode. As a further development, LSC/GDC dual-phase
cathodes were applied using the ex situ sintering approach.
This cathode type not only revealed improved layer stability
during storage but also provided high electrochemical
performance of 1.3 A/cm$^{2}$ at 750 °C and 0.7 V, despite
nonoptimized microstructure. The overarching conclusion is
that cathodes sintered ex situ provide significantly
improved long-term stability as well as high electrochemical
performance during MSC operation. Optimization of the
microstructure of dual-phase cathodes offers further
potential to improve cell performance.},
