Neyco offers both planar and button substrates.

There are 2 types of substrates avaiblable in standard:

• Patented scandia doped zirconia-based substrate for research on intermediate to high temperature (700-900°C) SOFC anode and cathode materials. The Hionic™ offers high strength for manufacturability along with high conductivity for distinguishing subtle differences among different electrode materials.
• YSZ (8 mole % yttria) substrates 0.25-0.30 mm thick for development of anode and cathode materials and structures. The YSZ substrate is particularly useful for short-term destructive testing, e.g. impurity/sulfur resistance of anode materials, where low cost is desired, and low performance is acceptable.

We recommend the use of the Hionic™ substrate for high-performance testing.
