Abstract

A paste composition for inkjet 3D printing based on the NiO-Ce0.8Gd0.2O2 composite was developed and an anode billet for a solid oxide fuel cell of planar geometry was made using direct inkjet 3D printing. Effect of the printing mode and thermal annealing on the morphology and structure of the samples has been studied. The anode billet was reduced and the resulting sample was characterized by a number of physicochemical methods.
