Rapid and Low-Energy Fabrication of Symmetrical Solid Oxide Cells by Microwave Methods.

ABSTRACT: Solid oxide fuel cells are highly efficient, low-emission, and fuel-flexible energy conversion devices that can also run in reverse as solid oxide electrolysis cells, converting CO₂ and/or H₂O to useful fuels and pure O₂. Our team has recently developed a highly promising mixed conducting oxide catalyst (La_0.3Ca_0.7Fe_0.7Cr_0.3O_3-δ) that can be used at both the anode and cathode in either the fuel cell or electrolysis mode in a lower-cost symmetrical cell. However, there is still a need to improve material processing and cell manufacturing methods in this field. Here, we report, for the first time, fabrication of a symmetrical solid oxide cell, based on our very promising catalysts, using rapid, low-cost,
