Properties and Performance of Cation‐Doped Ceria Electrolyte Materials in Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Applications

Abstract
Cation‐doped CeO2 electrolyte has been evaluated in single‐cell and short‐stack tests in solid oxide fuel cell environments and applications. These results, along with conductivity measurements, indicate that an ionic transference number of ∼0.75 can be expected at 800°C. Single cells have shown a power density >350 mW/cm2. Multicell stacks have demonstrated a peak performance of >100 mW/cm2 at 700°C using metallic separators.
