abstract = {Advantageous aspects of gadolinium doped ceria (GDC) as an
anode layer in anode-supported solid oxide fuel cells are
well known regarding its high electrochemical performance
and improved tolerance against sulfur poisoning and coking
[1]. A high-sintering temperature of 1400 °C is necessary
to fabricate a dense electrolyte, and to achieve the desired
shrinkage of the anode substrate. An anode-supported cell
with a Ni-GDC anode and a yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ)
electrolyte showed a strongly decreased performance during
cell testing compared to cells using Ni-YSZ as the anode.
Hence, the interdiffusion of GDC-YSZ has been studied in
detail to better understand its physical properties. Powders
of 20GDC and 8YSZ have been mixed in equal weight ratio, and
sintered at the same conditions as for the anode-supported
cells to examine the sintering behavior of the intermixing
phase. Ex-situ as well as in-situ high-temperature X-ray
diffraction (XRD) was carried out up to 1400 °C to observe
the intermixing of GDC-YSZ as a function of temperature.
Pawley refinements and Rietveld analysis were performed on
the powder XRD data to calculate the lattice parameters and
to quantify the intermixing phases, respectively. Since the
lattice parameters of the GDC-YSZ solid solution follows
Vegard’s rule [2], the calculated lattice parameters were
used to determine the stoichiometry of the intermixing
phases. Using these constraints, corresponding Rietveld
analysis were undertaken to quantify GDC, YSZ and GDC-YSZ
intermixing phases as a function of temperature. A complete
interdiffusion of GDC-YSZ already took place at 1300 °C,
which suggests a formation of this mixed layer during cell
sintering process at the interface of anode layer and
electrolyte. Besides, we observed that the presence of NiO
enhanced the diffusion kinetics of GDC and YSZ. X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy, 4-point conductivity and
thermo-gravimetric analysis were conducted to investigate
the reducibility, ionic and electronic conductivity of the
GDC-YSZ mixed phase in air and under reducing conditions
[3]. Impedance spectroscopy and microstructure analysis
reveals an increase in the ohmic resistance of the cell due
to the GDC-YSZ intermixing, and a strong increase in anode
polarization which is probably due to the porosity at the
interface caused by the difference in diffusion coefficients
of Ce4+ and Zr4+ (Kirkendall effect).},
