Abstract: By using a new combustion synthesis method, the glycine nitrate process, all the nano-size materials were prepared for a single solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC), in which(CeO2) x (SmO1.5)1-x (x=0.9, 0.85, 0.8) were used as the electrolytes, La0.6Sr0.4Fe0.8Co0.2O3with 50% samaria doped ceria(SDC) was selected as the cathode material, and a SDC-NiO-Ni composite powder was used as the anode material. In this study, the performance of the SOFCwas obtained up to 750 ℃, the maximum power density of 0.104 W/cm2and a short circuit current density of 500 mA/cm2of the cell was achieved at 750 ℃ by using (CeO2)0.9(SmO1.5)0.1electrolyte. The inferior SOFCperformance of the (CeO2)0.8(SmO1.5)0.2electrolyte was due to the physical discontinuity at the clearly grain boundary and could effectively introduce barriers to ionic conduction in reducing atmosphere, while the (CeO2)0.9(SmO1.5)0.1electrolyte′s boundary tends to be merged.
