Development of a new manufacturing method of electrodes for solid oxide fuel cells (2010)
Thesis
Waugh, W. Development of a new manufacturing method of electrodes for solid oxide fuel cells. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3750

It is well established that anodes for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) can be manufactured by processes involving final sintering. This research investigated a novel alternative method which relies on the electroless co-deposition of yttria-stabilised...
