The manufacturing of metal–ceramic self-supported films by a colloidal process for fuel cell applications is reported. Ni and Ni-YSZ (with 30 vol.% YSZ) self-supported films have been prepared by combining electrophoretic deposition in water suspensions with thermogelling properties of carrageenan....
