Cost- and resource-efficient deposition of Gadolinium- doped Ceria films by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis for high-temperature electrolysis

Activity: Talk or presentation / LecturePresentation at a scientific conference / workshop

Description

A cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and scalable deposition method is ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP). For the optimization of the GDC films by USP, the impact of the relevant of process parameters was investigated, following a thorough central composite design of experiments (DoE). To quantify the deposition quality, the whole sample surface was recorded using light microscopy and at the nano-regime scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Thereby all possible defects ranging from the mm-scale to the nano-scale can be identified, with the help of image segmentation neural networks.
