본 연구에서는 나노 크기의 세리아를 사마리움으로 일부 도핑(samaria-doped ceria(SDC))한 분말을 urea를 첨가제로 사용하여 수열합성법으로 합성하였으며 그 특성들을 XRD, FESEM, TEM 등을 통해 관찰하였다. 합성 시간 및 합성온도가 증가함에 따라 분말의 결정성 및 입도가 증가함을 확인하였다. 또한 이온전도도의 측정을 통해 합성된 SDC 파우더가 중 저온(600~$800^{\circ}C$) 부근에서 0.1 S/cm의 이온전도도를 보여 중 저온형 고체산화물 연료전지(IT-SOFC)의 고체 전해질에 적합함을 확인할 수 있었다. 합성된 SDC 분말은 중·저온 고체산화물 연료전지의 음극지지형 전해질로 사용하기 위해 전기영동 증착 방법을 이용하여 다공성 NiO-SDC 기판 위에 SDC 박막 증착을 시도하였다. 증착 용액은 acetone을 용매로 사용하고, 20V의 인가전압으로 10초간 증착한 결과 얇고 치밀하며 기공이 없는 SDC 박막이 형성되었음을 FESEM 분석을 통해 확인할 수 있었다.

We have determined an optimal reduction condition for NiO-based anode in single chamber solid oxide fuel cells that involve samaria-doped ceria (SDC) as an electrolyte. Optimal condition should not only induce sufficient reduction of NiO to Ni, but also prevent the reduction of SDC electrolyte in order to achieve high open circuit voltage (OCV) and power output. Thermodynamic consideration allowed us to determine the optimal anode reduction condition as $96%H_2-4%H_2O$ atmosphere at $250^{\circ}C$. This finding was in a good agreement with the experimental verifications by monitoring the conductivities of SDC and NiO under different reducing conditions.

To improve the performance of the anode-supported Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) which can be operated at an intermediate temperature, the functional layer (FL) is introduced on a anode substrate. And the scandia-stabilized zirconia (ScSZ) and samaria-doped ceria (SDC) which have higher ionic conductivity and better chemical stability than yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) are used as material for the anode FL with the Ni, The fabrication process of anode-supported single cell with the anode FL was established and the power density of those was evaluated. As a result, the sample with anode FL (Ni-YSZ) has higher power density than normal cell. The single cell which was composed of the FL (Ni-YSZ) and electrolyte (YSZ) showed about $550mW/cm^2$ of the maximum power density at $650^{\circ}C$ and $1430mW/cm^2$ at $750^{\circ}C$ respectively, In case of the single cell using the ScSZ and SDC as anode FL, the performance of samples decreased rapidly and those showed unstable voltage during long-term test. In case of using methane as a fuel, the cell performance with each FL decreased comparing with $H_2$ fuel. In the region of a high current density, there are large concentration polarizations.
