However, conventional fabrication methods usually involve multiple steps and high sintering tem-peratures, potentially leading to adverse effects on the properties of these materials due to excessive grain growthor reactivity among the cell components. In this study, nanocomposite electrodes of Sm0.5Sr0.5CoO3-δ -Ce0.9Sm0.1O1.95 (SSC–CSO) are prepared using a co-synthesis freeze-drying method, followed by screen-printingdeposition and sintering at high temperatures. Alternatively, they are prepared through direct spray-pyrolysisdeposition on the electrolyte at reduced temperatures. In both cases, the intimate mixture of SSC and CSOphases not only partially suppresses grain growth but also provides extended actives sites for the electrochemical PB Elsevier YR 2024 FD 2024-06-08 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10630/31804 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10630/31804 LA eng NO Lucía dos Santos-Gómez, Javier Zamudio-García, Leire Caizán-Juanarena, José Manuel Porras-Vázquez, David Marrero-López, Design and optimization of self-assembled nanocomposite electrodes for SOFCs, Journal of Power Sources, Volume 613, 2024, 234866, ISSN 0378-7753 NO Funding for open accesscharge: Universidad deMálaga / CBUAThis work was funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033/FEDER-UE, through PID2021-126009OB-I00 and TED2021-129836B–I00 projects.
