Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Performance Using Metallic Interconnects Coated By Electroplating Methods
- West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV
Electroplating of metal coatings, either single metals or alloy can be used as a method of forming spinel interconnect coatings for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) interconnects. Cell performance tests, using low cost metallic interconnects, coated with spinel coatings by electroplating methods is reported. Comparison of the performance of different spinel phases is made by operating “button” cells with the coated metallic interconnects used as current collectors on the cathode side. Discussion of the ease of deposition of the various spinel phases using simple DC and Pulse plating techniques will be reported. Post test analysis of the “button cells” and the interconnect materials will be accomplished by XRD, SEM and EDS. Correlations between the post test analysis data and the cell performance data will be made.
