With (NH3H2O)-H-., (NH3H2O)-H-.-NH4HCO3 buffer solution and NaOH solution as coprecipitation agents, NiO-ZrO2, anode powder of solid oxide fuel cell, was synthesized by coprecipitation methods. Composition accuracy was analyzed by comparing the original composition with the mass of the eventually obtained powder. It was shown that cubic NiO and cubic YSZ with a cascade powder distribution were obtained after the powder was calcined for 1h at different temperatures. Composition analysis of the powder synthesized with (NH3H2O)-H-. as coprecipitation agent showed that NiO-YSZ powder greatly deviated from the original composition due to the loss of Ni2+ in the form of [Ni(NH3)(4)](2+). When (NH3H2O)-H-.-NH4HCO3 buffer solution was used, productive output of nickel was increased. The loss of nickel can be totally avoided and better control of the powder composition could be realized when NaOH was used as coprecipitation agent. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd and Techna S.r.l.
