Method of fabricating an assembly comprising an anode-supported electrolyte, and ceramic cell comprising such an assembly

Method of fabricating an electrode support, comprising the steps of providing an assembly comprising an anodic support made of nickel/zirconia material, of applying to one side of that anodic support an anode auxiliary layer comprising a mixture of nickel oxide and YSZ particles on top of which an electrolyte layer comprising YSZ particles is applied, wherein in that the step of providing the assembly is followed by subjecting said assembly to a sintering treatment, the anodic support and the various layers and/or combinations thereof of the assembly being in a nonsintered state prior to said sintering treatment, characterised in that, said auxiliary layer is applied in a thickness of 3-20 μm by screen printing;

• a current collector layer being provided, which is disposed on the other side of the anodic support, including metal particles and in a nonsintered state prior to said sintering treatment, and wherein a nickel oxide layer having a thickness of 10-40 μm is applied to the inside of said anodic support.
