Preconditioning of the YSZ-NiO Fuel Cell Anode in Hydrogenous Atmospheres Containing Water Vapor

Abstract The YSZ–NiO ceramics for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) anode have been investigated. A series of specimens were singly reduced in a hydrogenous atmosphere (Ar–5 vol% H2 mixture) at 600 °C under the pressure of 0.15 MPa or subjected to ‘reduction in the mixture–oxidation in air’ (redox) cyc...
