Iron is a necessary trace element used by all known living organisms. Iron can take on many forms, including cast, wrought, and pig iron, but suffers badly from rust if not protected in some way. The reduction of Ce4+ species into Ce3+ in the BCY electrolyte has also lead to an electronic conduction in BCY that lowered OCVs.Comprising 35% of the Earth’s mass, iron is the main component of steel and the most used of all the metals. The reactions of nano thin film BCY with CO2 and H2O are both active at temperature between 300 and 400 ☌, which is unlike bulk BCY material where only the reaction with CO2 is significant. The lattice parameters of BCY expanded during fuel cell test, resulting in the formation of micro cracks along the electrolyte that possibly induced the OCV drop. Characterization results from X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed that the observed degrading fuel cell performance is attributed to the rapid decomposition of BaCeO3 into BaCO3, Ba(OH)2, and CeO2 from reactions with CO2 and H2O during fuel cell test. The micro-SOFCs using 300 nm-thick BCY electrolyte show a poor fuel cell performance and continuous decrease in open circuit voltage (OCV) with higher operating temperatures. The chemical stability of a nanoscale yttria-doped barium cerate (Y–BaCeO3 or BCY) thin film electrolyte for low temperature solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are investigated in the temperature range of 300–400 ☌. Further study should lead to the development of more robust paraffin anti-relaxation coatings, as well as the design and synthesis of new classes of coating materials. Experimental results include the determination that crystallinity of the coating material is unnecessary, and the detection of C=C double bonds present within a particular class of effective paraffin coatings. We also compare the light-induced atomic desorption yields of several different paraffin materials. These methods include Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, atomic force microscopy, near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. We apply modern surface and bulk techniques to the study of paraffin coatings, in order to characterize the properties that enable the effective preservation of alkali spin polarization. In particular, paraffin has been used for this purpose for several decades and has been demonstrated to allow an atom to experience up to 10,000 collisions with the walls of its container without depolarizing, but the details of its operation remain poorly understood. Many technologies based on cells containing alkali-metal atomic vapor benefit from the use of anti-relaxation surface coatings in order to preserve atomic spin polarization.
