The potential of the wet powder spraying (WPS) process for the depositon of thin dense films for solid oxide fuel cell electrolytes is demonstrated. In contrast to many other production methods the process allows high deposition rates. Economical aspects such as good up‐scaling, low investment costs for the equipment and short sintering times for the layers make the WPS process an interesting alternative to other deposition techniques.
