Abstract:
A method for preparing an electrode for a solid oxide fuel cell, in which a conductive material, such as a metal, is electrodeposited onto a porous electrode comprising a conductive material and an electrolyte. The method allows metals to be added directly to a porous electrode without the need for subsequent reduction steps. The method also permits the conductive materials to be deposited in controlled, layered structures, thereby enabling the use of different metals to achieve desired properties.
