abstract = {Steam electrolysis constitutes a prospective technology for
industrial-scale hydrogen production. The use of ceramic
proton-conducting electrolytes is a beneficial option for
lowering the operating temperature. However, a significant
challenge with this type of electrolyte has been upscaling
robust planar type devices. The fabrication of such
multi-layered devices, usually via a tape casting process,
requires careful control of individual layers’ shrinkages
to prevent warping and cracks during sintering. The present
work highlights the successful processing of 50 × 50
mm2 planar electrode-supported barium cerium yttrium
zirconate BaZr0.44Ce0.36Y0.2O2.9 (BZCY(54)8/92) half cells
via a sequential tape casting approach. The sintering
parameters of the half-cells were analyzed and adjusted to
obtain defect-free half-cells with diminished warping.
Suitably dense and gas-tight electrolyte layers are obtained
after co-sintering at 1350 °C for 5 h. We then assembled an
electrolysis cell using Ba0.5La0.5CoO3−δ as the steam
electrode, screen printed on the electrolyte layer, and
fired at 800 °C. A typical
Ba0.5La0.5CoO3−δ|BaZr0.44Ce0.36Y0.2O3−δ(15
μm)|NiO-SrZr0.5Ce0.4Y0.1O3−δ cell at 600 °C with $80\%$
steam in the anode compartment reached reproducible terminal
voltages of 1.4 V @ 500 mA·cm−2, achieving $~84\%$
Faradaic efficiency. Besides electrochemical
characterization, the morphology and microstructure of the
layered half-cells were analyzed by a combination of
high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron
microscopy (HAADF-STEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray
spectroscopy. Our results also provide a feasible approach
for realizing the low-cost fabrication of large-sized
protonic ceramic conducting electrolysis cells (PCECs)},
