| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we used Pd-plated porous stainless-steel substrates as a substrate for thin film SOFCs (Solid Oxide Fuel Cells). Low temperature operation as low as 400 C was obtained; however, it showed small power generation property of several mW/cm2, which needs 2 decades improvements for the actual SOFC applications. The origin of this low power generations was appeared to be the result of the solid structure of a cathode, which limits oxygen supply to the reaction field. Thus, we investigated new materials which is suitable for our SOFCs and found sol-gel derived LaNiO3 is a suitable candidate as the cathode material. We have been fabricating new SOFCs with this new cathode to optimize SOFC properties.
