A review on the preparation of thin-film YSZ electrolyte of SOFCs by magnetron sputtering technology

Ying Yang et al.

Summary: Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are attractive energy conversion devices due to their fuel flexibility, environmental friendliness, and promising energy conversion efficiency. However, the high operating temperature of SOFCs poses challenges in stability, sealing integrity, and safety. Lowering the operating temperature to 600°C or lower is an important research topic. Magnetron sputtering is gaining attention as a thin-film preparation technology for electrolyte thin films with high stability and performance at lower temperatures. This comprehensive review analyzes various electrolyte preparation methods, focusing on magnetron sputtering technology for oxygen-ion conducting electrolyte thin films. The effects of processing parameters on the microstructures and properties of the thin films, as well as the relevant interfaces and full SOFCs, are discussed. Perspectives and directions for developing high-performance SOFCs with thin-film electrolytes prepared by magnetron sputtering technology are presented.
