Assessment of NiO-CGO composites as cermet precursors

NiO-Ce0.9Gd0.1O1.95 (NiO-CGO) composite powders produced by a one-step chemical route were assessed as precursors of fuel cell anode cermets. Porous NiO-CGO composites were prepared by uniaxial pressing followed by firing at 1400 °C for 4 h. Ni-CGO cermets were subsequently obtained by reduction in...
