Abstract
High impact velocity of particles has found its common way into the vacuum cold spray (VCS), but heating gas may further intensify this function, resulting in significantly higher impact velocity. That's the original design idea to realize denser ceramic deposition at low temperature in this paper. In this study, a ~ 10â¯Âµm thick La0.8Sr0.2Ga0.8Mg0.2O3 (LSGM) electrolyte layer for SOFCs is prepared by VCS under heated gas. The effects of gas temperature on the deposition behavior, mechanical and electrical properties of the coatings are investigated. Results show improvements in coating density, hardness and ionic conductivity at elevated temperature. Additionally, the output performance of cell with LSGM electrolytes deposited at gas temperature of 400â¯Â°C achieved an open circuit voltage of ~ 1.0â¯V and the maximum power density of 855â¯mW/cm2 at 750â¯Â°C. Overall, these findings testify of the promising aspects of VCS method for preparing solid electrolyte films for IT-SOFCs.
