| 1. A method of producing a ceramic assembly, comprising:
disposing an electrode precursor on an electrolyte precursor having an electrolyte sintering shrinkage;
disposing a stabilizer precursor having a stabilizer sintering shrinkage on the electrode precursor on a side opposite the
electrolyte precursor to form a precursor assembly, wherein a difference between the electrolyte sintering shrinkage and the
stabilizer sintering shrinkage is less than or equal to ±1%; and
sintering the precursor assembly to form the ceramic assembly comprising a stabilizer layer, electrode, and electrolyte, wherein
a surface of the ceramic assembly has less than or equal to about 5.0 degrees camber, as measured from the horizontal plane.
