Abstract
Solid oxide fuel cells and methods for fabricating solid oxide fuel cells include an electrolyte reinforcement (ERI) layer. An ink composition including a ceramic material and a sintering aid, such as a metal or metal oxide material, is applied to select portions of a solid oxide electrolyte and sintered to form an ERI layer. The ERI layer may improve the strength and durability of the electrolyte and may facilitate bonding to a high-temperature seal.
