In operando studies of ScYSZ electrolyte supported symmetric solid oxide cell by X-ray Diffraction at ESRF, ID06 Beamline
Abstract
Solid Oxide Cells are becoming a promising solution for sustainable and renewable power generation. Scandium doped Yttria Stabilized Zirconia is considered one of the best materials used as electrolyte because of its high ionic conductivity and great mechanical and chemical stability under operating conditions. Oxygen bubble formation at grain boundaries of ScYSZ near the anode/electrolyte interface has been observed as a degradation process when running in electrolysis mode at 800 - 900 oC for 24 - 72 hours at high current densities. X-ray diffraction can provide information about structural evolution at different depths of the cell during operation.
