ABSTRACT
The paper addresses questions concerning the structural optimization of ceramic fuel cells (CFC) aiming to increase the ionic conductivity realized at long term operation of zirconia electrolyte in the very structure of CFC applying scandia as the stabilizer of zirconia cubic phase and electron beam physical vapor deposition as the production method of the CFC's electrolyte film. Its chemical composition would be optimized in a course of a few iteration processes of a substance transfer from virgin powders into the electrolyte phase of CFC laminated composite, which is changed by diffusion processes between CFC electrolyte and its electrode layers during CFC production and long-term operation. The final, optimized, chemical composition and structure of entire CFC would be tuned by taking into account the structural altering occurring during both production and operation.
