Nanoindentation of Porous Bulk and Thin Films of LSCF
Zhangwei Chen, Xin Wang, Vinnet Bhakhri +2
In this paper we show how reliable measurements on porous ceramic films can be made by appropriate nanoindentation experiments and analysis. Room-temperature mechanical properties…
Mechanical Properties of La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-d Fuel Cell Electrodes
Zhangwei Chen
LSCF is a promising candidate for the cathode in SOFCs. Understanding the microstructural characteristics is crucial to its application because they predominately determine the per…
Porous LSCF/Dense 3YSZ Interface Fracture Toughness Measured by Single Cantilever Beam Wedge Test
Xin Wang, Fei He, Zhangwei Chen +1
Sandwich specimens were prepared by firing a thin inter-layer of porous La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-d (LSCF) to bond a thin tetragonal yttria-stabilised zirconia (YSZ) beam to a thick Y…
Surface quality improvement of porous thin films suitable for nanoindentation
Zhangwei Chen, Xin Wang, Finn Giuliani +1
The reliability of perovskite material LSCF to be used as cathode parts in solid oxide fuel cells also relies on its mechanical properties. Adequate surface conditions are desired…
Crack Formation in Ceramic Films Used in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
Xin Wang, Zhangwei Chen, Alan Atkinson
The manufacture of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) involves fabrication of a multilayer ceramic structure, for which constrained sintering is a key processing step in many cases. De…
Analyses of microstructural and elastic properties of porous SOFC cathodes based on focused ion beam tomography
Zhangwei Chen, Xin Wang, Finn Giuliani +1
Mechanical properties of porous SOFC electrodes are largely determined by their microstructures. Measurements of the elastic properties and microstructural parameters can be achiev…
