NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #123: Electrochemical Manufacturing for Energy Applications - 9th Quarterly Report

This NASF-AESF Foundation research project report covers the ninth quarter of project work (January-March 2024) at the University of Texas at Dallas. In this period, we followed our work on 3D printing anode support for solid oxide fuel cells, SOFC (or cathode for solid oxide electrolyzers, SOEC).  We focused on the mechanical properties of 3D printed yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) using a four-point bending test.  We then conducted a statistical analysis to characterize the flexural strength of porous 3D printed YSZ.  The full paper on the ninth quarter work can be accessed and printed at short.pfonline.com/NASF24June2.
