Two compositions were studied: BCZY18 and BCZY27 for x = 0.1 and 0.2, respectively. The unfired tubes were then dip-coated with three layers of the BCZY electrolyte membrane. Solid-state reactive sintering was used, meaning that the support and membrane were prepared with the precursors (oxides and carbonates). After co-sintering at 1550 \u00b0C, a 20-micron thick dense BCZY layer was well-adhered to the 1 mm thick BCZY-NiO support, as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. The sintered BCZY-NiO\/BCZY tubes were sealed onto alumina or BCZY substrates using a silver-based braze (with TiO2 and CuO additions). Gas tightness was achieved under 2 bar when covering the silver braze with a ceramic (Resbond) sealing layer. These slip cast tubes are intended for use as hydrogen electrodes in various protonic ceramic devices, and the advantages of short tubes for reactor design are discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/membranes12020242","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,21]],"date-time":"2022-02-21T08:22:19Z","timestamp":1645431739000},"page":"242","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Slip Casting and Solid-State Reactive Sintering of BCZY(BaCexZr0.9\u2212xY0.1O3\u2212d)-NiO\/BCZY Half-Cells"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7565-0284","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sandrine","family":"Ricote","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mechanical Engineering Department, Colorado School of Mines, 1500 Illinois Street, Golden, CO 80401, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3930-4784","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Robert","family":"Kee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mechanical Engineering Department, Colorado School of Mines, 1500 Illinois Street, Golden, CO 80401, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"William","family":"Coors","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hydrogen Helix, Golden, CO 80401, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"359","DOI":"10.1016\/0167-2738(81)90113-2","article-title":"Proton conduction in sintered oxides and its application to steam electrolysis for hydrogen production","volume":"3-4","author":"Iwahara","year":"1981","journal-title":"Solid State Ionics"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"91","DOI":"10.1016\/S0167-2738(00)00777-3","article-title":"Protonic conduction in Zr-substituted BaCeO3","volume":"138","author":"Katahira","year":"2000","journal-title":"Solid State Ionics"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"990","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ssi.2009.03.016","article-title":"Water vapour solubility and conductivity study of the proton conductor BaCe0.9\u2212xZrxY0.1O3\u2212\u03b4","volume":"180","author":"Ricote","year":"2009","journal-title":"Solid State Ionics"},{"key":"ref_4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4355","DOI":"10.1039\/b902343g","article-title":"Materials challenges toward proton-conducting oxide fuel cells: A critical review","volume":"39","author":"Fabbri","year":"2010","journal-title":"Chem.
