Consequently, the atomic structure of the interfacial YSZ is compressed, leading to the formation of nanoscale defects and, eventually, cracks between the air electrode and the electrolyte ...

SOFCs use yttria-stabilized cubic zirconia (YSZ) and other oxygen ion conductors ... (the way the atoms are arranged in the crystal structure), and the researchers succeeded in finding grain ...

Now superlattices made of yttria-stabilized zirconia and strontium titanate show promise for room-temperature devices. Now J. Santamaria and colleagues 1 have fabricated epitaxial heterostructures ...
