Abstract: An electrochemical cell is disclosed having a porous metal support, a gas transport layer on the porous metal support, and an electrode layer on the gas transport layer. The gas transport layer is electrically conductive and has an open pore structure comprising a pore volume fraction of 20% by volume or higher and wherein the electrode layer has a pore volume fraction lower than the pore volume fraction of the gas transport layer. Also disclosed is a stack of such electrochemical cells and a method of producing such an electrochemical cell.

Abstract: An electrochemical cell is disclosed having a porous metal support, at least one layer of a first electrode on the porous metal support, a first electron-blocking electrolyte layer of rare earth doped zirconia on the at least one layer of the first electrode, and a second bulk electrolyte layer of rare earth doped ceria on the first electron-blocking electrolyte layer. The first electron-blocking electrolyte layer of rare earth doped zirconia may have a thickness of 0.5 ?m or greater, and the second bulk electrolyte layer of rare earth doped ceria may have a thickness of 4 ?m or greater.
