Abstract: A method of fabricating a ceramic tube with electrodes thereon suitable for use as a tubular reaction chamber for a fuel cell. In one embodiment, the method includes wrapping a first electrode material around a mandrel, then wrapping a green ceramic material over the first electrode material, and then wrapping a second electrode material over the green ceramic material. The wrapped layers are laminated together, and then removed from the mandrel and sintered, in either sequence, to produce the laminated ceramic tube having an inner first electrode and an outer second electrode. Alternatively, a first electrode tube is provided in place of the mandrel and around which the green ceramic material is wrapped. The outer second electrode may be produced by wrapping a second electrode material around the green ceramic material, before or after laminating, or by printing the electrode material onto the sintered ceramic tube. The present invention further provides a method of making a ceramic tube in which a sacrificial organic material is first wrapped around the mandrel to a desired thickness prior to wrapping the green ceramic material to increase the green material thickness. During sintering, the organic material is burned away leaving only a laminated ceramic tube, optionally with electrodes thereon.

Abstract: A feed-through filter capacitor assembly using an electrically conductive adhesive modified with a filler of low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) to provide a conductive relation between the conductive pin and the electrode plates of the ceramic capacitor. The conductive adhesive contains an organic polymer-based adhesive component that has a CTE greater than the CTE of the capacitor ceramic body and a conductive metal filler having a CTE lower than the adhesive component. The conductive adhesive is further provided with a CTE-lowering filler that has a CTE lower than the CTE of the conductive metal filler, thereby lowering the overall CTE of the adhesive to a value closer to the CTE of the capacitor ceramic body.

Abstract: A fuel cell device is prepared by dispensing and drying electrode and ceramic pastes around two pluralities of removable physical structures to form electrode layers having constant width and a shape that conforms lengthwise to a curvature of the physical structures. An electrolyte ceramic layer is positioned between electrode layers, forming an active cell portion where anode is in opposing relation to cathode with electrolyte therebetween, and passive cell portions where ceramic is adjacent the active cell portion. The layers are laminated, the physical structures pulled out, and the lamination sintered to form an active cell with active passages in anodes and cathodes and passive support structure with passive passages in ceramic. End portions of at least one of the two pluralities of physical structures are curved away from the same end portion of the other of the two pluralities resulting in a split end in the fuel cell device.
