A solid oxide fuel cell was fabricated using standard NiO/8YSZ cermet anode, yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte, and lanthanum strontium manganite cathode. The anodes were extruded using an hydraulic ram extruder. An electrolyte was deposited using a novel technique allowing obtaining a thin and dense YSZ layer. The cathode was deposited by brush painting. The cells were operated under different temperature and fuel conditions, and showed excellent performance of up approximately at . Performance data as well as scanning electron microscopy micrographs of the cells are presented.
