A thin yttria-stabilized zirconia (8mol% YSZ) film was successfully fabricated on a NiO-YSZ anode substrate by a screen-printing technique. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) results suggested that the YSZ film thickness was about 31μm after sintering at 1400°C for 4h in air. A 60wt% La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 +40wt% YSZ was screen-printed onto the YSZ film surface as cathode. A single cell was tested from 650 to 850°C using hydrogen as fuel and ambient air as oxidant, which showed an open circuit voltage (OCV) of 1.02V and a maximum power density of 1.30Wcm −2 at 850°C. The OCV was higher than 1.0V, which suggested that the YSZ film was quite dense and that the fuel gas leakage through the YSZ film was negligible. Screen-printing can be a promising method for manufacturing YSZ films for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs).
