THERMAL, STRUCTURAL AND ORPHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF BCG POWDER FOR SOFCs

Abstract

. Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are being considered as one of the gifted material for the conversation of chemical energy into electrical energy. This SOFC will give high efficiency energy conversion and low environmental pollution impact. In the current research work, gadolinium doped barium cerate (BCG) based electrolyte powder was systematically prepared through Co-precipitation Method. The crystalline nature of powder sample was analysed through X-Ray diffractometer and to find the crystallite size. HRTEM analysis was performed to know the particle size distribution and were reported.
