Abstract

The performance of solid oxide fuel cells is limited largely by ion transport in the electrolyte. Thin film electrolytes of yttria-stabilized zirconia were deposited by pulsed laser deposition. The electrolyte material was subjected to heavy ion irradiation and heat treatment and the effects on conductivity were measured using electrical impedance spectroscopy. Following irradiation there is a drop in conductivity by a factor of 3-4. After heat treatment at 800°C, the conductivity recovers to the as-deposited value.
