Abstract
In this study, pillar shaped yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) 3D microstructures with ~60 to 90 m diameter and 12 to 20 m height are fabricated by 3D inkjet printing to improve the topology of the electrolyte/cathode interface. The microstructures increase the surface area of the cell by ~ 2.4% to 4.0% and enhance the connection between the dense YSZ electrolyte and mixed YSZ-lanthanum strontium manganite (LSM) cathode. The morphology and microstructure of the YSZ interface are characterized with scanning electron microscopy. Polarization curves confirm that the power density improves by 47% to 107% at 0.55V, depending on the dimensions of the microstructures, in comparison to a flat interface. The non-linear improvement in power density with the size of microstructures is confirmed by calculating the uncertainty with repeated tests. Based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and distribution of relaxation times analysis, the performance improvement is attributed to changes in the oxygen surface exchange kinetics and O2- diffusivity in the cathode.
