{"product_id":"csofecnio8yszesp","title":"NiO\/8YSZ Electrode Support Pellet (Disk \u0026 Sheet) for SOFC\/SOEC Test, CSOFECNiO8YSZESP","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the study of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) and Electrolysis Cells (SOEC), a NiO\/8YSZ pellet is the precursor for the most common \"anode-supported\" cell configuration. While 8YSZ is an electrolyte material, a pellet containing NiO is technically an electrode support, not the electrolyte itself. In this configuration, a thick, porous NiO\/8YSZ disk (typically 0.5--1.5 mm) provides the mechanical strength for the entire cell, while a very thin, dense layer of pure 8YSZ (typically 5-20 um) is applied on top to serve as the electrolyte.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NiO\/8YSZ pellet is a \"pre-functional\" material. It only becomes an active electrode after a reduction process: (1) \u003cstrong\u003eAs-Sintered State\u003c\/strong\u003e: The pellet consists of Green Nickel Oxide (NiO) and White 8YSZ. In this state, it is a ceramic insulator. (2) \u003cstrong\u003eReduction Step\u003c\/strong\u003e: During the initial \"start-up\" of the test (at 600-800 °C under H2), the NiO is reduced to metallic Nickel (Ni). (3) \u003cstrong\u003eCermet Result\u003c\/strong\u003e: This creates a Ni-YSZ cermet (ceramic-metal composite). The Ni provides electronic conductivity and catalytic activity, while the 8YSZ provides ionic conductivity and mechanical stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cem\u003ePart Number\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCSOFECNiO8YSZESP (C-SOFEC-NiO8YSZESP)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cem\u003eActive Powder\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/echemsupplies.com\/products\/csofeccenio8ysz?variant=47455058559206\"\u003eNiO\/8YSZ\u003c\/a\u003e: 60 wt% NiO +40 wt% \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(Y\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003eO\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e3\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e0.08\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(ZrO\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csub\u003e0.92\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cem\u003eNiO\/8YSZ Pellet Size\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(1) Disk: D15 mm (T: ~580 um)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(2) Disk: D20 mm (T: ~580 um)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(3) Sheet: 10cm * 10cm (T: ~400 um)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cem\u003ePackage Grade\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 pcs\/pack (bulk quantity can be supplied upon request and certain discount will be applied)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReferences\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0167273816301643\"\u003eA.
