A gas‐tight yttria‐stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte film was fabricated on porous NiO–YSZ anode substrates by a binder‐assisted slurry casting technique. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) results showed that the YSZ film was relatively dense with a thickness of 10 μm. La 0.8 Sr 0.2 MnO 3 (LSM)–YSZ was applied to cathode using a screen‐print technique and the single fuel cells were tested in a temperature range from 600 to 800 °C. An open circuit voltage (OCV) of over 1.0 V was observed. The maximum power densities at 600, 700, and 800 °C were 0.13, 0.44, and 1.1 W cm –2 , respectively.
