Estimating the term…
In one aspect, the disclosure relates to ALD-coated electrodes comprising a conformal MnOx layer, and optionally, a Pt layer subjacent to the MnOx layer. In a further aspect, the ALD-coated electrode is an anode, e.g., a Ni/YSZ electrode. In a still further aspect, the present disclosure relates to cells comprising the disclosed ALD-coated electrodes. In a yet further aspect, the present disclosure relates to devices comprising the disclosed cells. Cells comprising the disclosed electrodes have improved stability and peak power performance. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.
A coated electrode comprising:
An anode comprising an atomic deposition layer of single phase YSZ or oxide conductor comprising a top surface and a bottom surface wherein the layer of single phase YSZ or oxide conductor is doped with manganese atoms wherein the ratio of manganese to zirconium atoms increases from the bottom surface to the top surface from about 0.05 to about 0.4.
