Abstract

The purpose of this research is to improve the properties of the current state-of-the-art materials used for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The objectives are to: (1) develop materials based on modifications of the state-of-the-art materials; (2) minimize or eliminate stability problems in the cathode, anode, and interconnect; (3) Electrochemically evaluate (in reproducible and controlled laboratory tests) the current state-of-the-art air electrode materials and cathode/electrolyte interfacial properties; (4) Develop accelerated electrochemical test methods to evaluate the performance of SOFCs under controlled and reproducible conditions; and (5) Develop and test materials for use in low-temperature SOFCs.

Advanced materials for solid oxide fuel cells

Conference Armstrong, T.R. ; Stevenson, J. ; Paulik, S.

Purpose of the research is to improve the properties of current state- of-the-art materials used for SOFCs. The project includes interconnect development, high-performance cathode, electrochemical testing, and accelerated testing. This document reports results of mechanical tests (bend strength, elastic modulus, fracture strength) of acceptor-substituted lanthanum chromite (interconnect material).

Advanced materials for solid oxide fuel cells. [In/sub 2/O/sub 3/-PrO/sub 1. 83/-ZrO/sub 2/]

Conference Griffin, C.W. ; Bates, J.L.

Materials based on the In/sub 2/O/sub 3/-PrO/sub 1.83/-ZrO/sub 2/ system were examined as potential electrodes and current interconnects for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). The electrical transport, thermal, and electrochemical properties are described in relationship to structure, phase equilibria, and composition. The electrical conductivity was dependent on structure and composition, and can exceed the conductivity of the state-of-the-art electrode/interconnect materials. The instability of the In/sub 2/O/sub 3/ in reducing environments may eliminate this system as SOFC anodes or interconnects. This system may be used as cathodes if indium does not diffuse into the electrolyte and degrade fuel cell performance. 4more » refs., 8 figs., 4 tabs.« less

Thermal Cycling of Advanced Compressive Seals for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells

Conference Chou, Y S. ; Stevenson, Jeffry W. ; CA Lewisohn ; ...

Thermal cycling was conducted on the compressive mica seals at 800 degrees C in air. Thin ({approx}0.1 mm) Muscovite mica was pressed between a metal tube and an alumina substrate and tested for leak rates at a stress of 100 psi in the advanced design and the plain design. The advanced design involves adding two glass interlayers and was found to greatly reduce the leak rates. Two metals (Inconcl No.600 and SS430) with high and low coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) were used to evaluate the effect of CTE mismatch on thermal cycling. The results showed that the leak ratesmore »« less
Alloy Films Deposited by Electroplating as Precursors for Protective Oxide Coatings on Solid Oxide Fuel Cells Metallic Interconnect Materials

Conference Johnson, Christopher ; Gemmen, R S ; Cross, Caleb

The successful development of stainless steel interconnects for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) may be the materials breakthrough that makes SOFC technology truly commercial. Many of the ferritic stainless steels, however, suffer from a relatively high area specific resistance (ASR) after long exposure times at temperature and the Cr in the native oxide can evaporate and contaminate other cell components. Conductive coatings that resist oxide scale growth and chromium evaporation may prevent both of these problems. In the present study electrochemical deposition of binary alloys followed by oxidation of the alloy to form protective and conductive oxide layersmore »« less
