abstract = "For anode-supported planar SOFC, the most widely accepted anode material is nickel-8mol% yttria stabilized zirconia (Ni-YSZ) cermet For the required electrical conductivity during intermediate temperature SOFC operation (∼ 800°C), conventionally 35-40vol.% Ni is used. Reduction of nickel content not only solves nickel coarsening problem during long-term SOFC operation but also makes thermal expansion coefficient much closer to YSZ. In this investigation, a novel electroless technique is employed to prepare uniform coating of metallic Ni onto YSZ to make core-shell anode cermet structure. Compared to conventionally prepared anodes (∼ 35vol.% Ni), in this functional anode, percolation threshold is lowered down to ° 20vol.% to achieve almost same electrical conductivity (σ800°C ∼ 150 S cm-1). However, the properties of these cermets depend strongly on several processing conditions like particle size of YSZ powders, sensitization process, electroless bath composition and deposition temperature. A simple adsorption kinetic model for sensitization process is proposed.",
