FIG. la. Schematic diagram of a state-of-the-art air electrode support (AES) cell for SOFCs.
The porous air electrode tube is doped LaMnO3 [2.2 mm thick, extrusion sintered]; the
electrolyte is ZrO2(Y2O3) [40 m, electrochemical vapor deposited]; the interconnection is
doped LaCrO3 [85 m, plasma sprayed]; and the fuel electrode is NiZrO2 (Y2O3) [100 m,
slurry spray-electrochemical vapor deposited].

Conclusion
As stated previously, it is primarily
the ECS High Temperature Materials
Division that is concerned with the
chemical and physical characterization
of materials, the kinetics of reactions,
the thermodynamic properties and
phase equilibria of systems, the
development of new processing methods,
and ultimately, the use of materials in
advanced technology applications at
