Abstract

In this work, anodes based on nickel oxide and zirconium oxide-stabilized yttrium oxide were developed by the method of hybrid inkjet 3D printing with laser treatment. The granulometric composition of the NiO/Zr0.9Y0.1O2 (10YSZ) composite and the rheological characteristics of printing pastes based on it were determined. Experiments were carried out on printing three-dimensional test objects using the developed ceramic paste. The influence of additionally injected into the composition pore formers – graphite and potato starch – on the rheological characteristics of the paste was studied. The obtained samples of supporting anodes were studied by a complex of physicochemical methods to determine the morphological and structural characteristics.
