Abstract
Functional all-oxide thin film micro-solid oxide fuel cells (μSOFCs) that are free of platinum (Pt) are discussed in this report. The μSOFCs, with widths of 160 μm, consist of thin film La0.6Sr0.4Co0.8Fe0.2O3 (LSCF) as both the anode and cathode and Y0.08Zr0.92O1.96 (YSZ) as the electrolyte. Open circuit voltage and peak power density at 545 °C are 0.18 V and 210 μW cm−2, respectively. The LSCF anodes show good lattice and microstructure stability and do not form reaction products with YSZ. The all-oxide μSOFCs endure long-term stability testing at 500 °C for over 100 h, as manifested by stable membrane morphology and crack-free microstructure.
