Abstract
A solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) or SOFC sub-component comprising a YSZ solid oxide electrolyte layer (), a LSCF cathode layer () and a mixed phase layer () comprising at least zirconia and ceria between the electrolyte layer and the cathode layer, with the cathode layer in direct contact with the mixed phase layer, that is with no ceria, other than in the mixed phase layer, between the cathode layer and the electrolyte layer. One method of forming the SOFC or sub-component comprises applying a layer of ceria on the electrolyte layer (), heating the electrolyte and ceria layers to form the mixed phase layer (), and removing excess ceria from the surface of the mixed phase layer before applying the cathode layer ().
