Abstract

A method of manufacturing an electrolytic cell in which an intermediate sintered form is produced that comprises a porous anode layer and an electrolyte layer having a prespecified shape of the electrolytic cell. The electrolyte layer has defects extending through the electrolyte layer. A substance by way of a pressure, a solvent, particle suspended in a solvent or particles introduced by way of thermal spray are introduced into defects within the electrolyte layer. Thereafter, a green cathode layer is applied to the electrolyte layer while the substance is in place, within the defects. The intermediate sintered form with the applied green cathode layer is then fired to produce the electrolytic cell.
