This book provides an overview of fuel cell technology and in particular of Solid Oxide
Electrolysis Cells (SOFCs). Each chapter highlights the effects of different synthesis
parameters and or adopted sintering method clarifying both advantages and disadvantages
pointed out by different experimental campaigns. The book focuses on Doped-Ceria Electrolytes
presenting an engineered production process of GDC SDC electrolytes by using a combination of
wet chemical synthesis and or alternative sintering techniques capable of enhancing
electrolytes microstructural features and electrical properties at reduced temperature and
time. The author proposes useful guidelines to produce dense and high-preforming ceria-based
electrolytes for IT-SOFCs.
