Alternative materials for solid oxide fuel cells: Chromite interconnections

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5715302

This research and development is directed to modification of state-of-art and to development of analogous and alterative materials as solid oxide fuel cells electrodes and interconnections and consists of three tasks: electrical and thermal properties of state-of-the-art and alternative interconnection materials as functions of composition, structure, synthesis and processing methods; materials synthesis and processing methods to produce state-of-the-art and alternative interconnection chromite and manganite materials that can be sintered in air below 1550{degrees}C without the use of additives; and Electrochemical behavior of materials interfaces to understand the kinetics and electro-chemical and chemical processes. This report discusses R D directed toward understanding the factors that affect air sinterability, sintering mechanisms and the thermal expansion of La{sub 1-x}Sr{sub x}CrO{sub 3} and Y{sub 1-x}Ca{sub x}CrO{sub 3}. 8 refs., 6 figs.
