New materials to replace reference electrolytes for PCFC and SOFC
Electrolytes are ionically conducting oxides (with an ionic transport number close to unity) in the form of membranes, dense enough to be impermeable to gases and thin enough to minimize ohmic losses, that is a demanding set of electrical (conductivity level), chemical (redox stability, no reactivity with anode and cathode materials) and mechanical (stable microstructure) properties.
