A solid oxide fuel cell stack having a plurality of integral component fuel cell units, each integral component fuel cell unit having a porous anode layer, a porous cathode layer, and a dense electrolyte layer disposed between the porous anode layer and the porous cathode layer. The porous anode layer forms a plurality of substantially parallel fuel gas channels on its surface facing away from the dense electrolyte layer and extending from one side to the opposite side of the anode layer, and the porous cathode layer forms a plurality of substantially parallel oxidant gas channels on its surface facing away from the dense electrolyte layer and extending from one side to the opposite side of the cathode. A flexible metallic foil interconnect is provided between the porous anode and porous cathode of adjacent integral component fuel cell units.

The present invention concerns a high power density solid oxide fuel cell having a cathode, electrolyte and graded porous anode. The graded porosity of the anode allows easy transport of fuel gases thereby minimizing concentration polarization. Power densities of about 1.8 W/cm2 at 800° C. and about 0.8 W/cm2 at about 650° C. have been achieved with graded porous anodes as thick as 0.75 mm. These fuel cells having a graded porous anode are more durable and mechanically reliable than those found in the art.
摘要:
An improved electrode design for solid state devices, fuel cells, sensors and the like is made by incorporation of a porous layer of the electrolyte material over the dense electrolyte, and by the introduction of an electrocatalyst into the porous layer such that it is also continuous. The resulting electrode structure of dense electrolyte/porous electrolyte, continuous electrocatalyst and gas phase are present creating an enhanced three phase (TPB) length over that of conventional designs. The design allows for improved performance at lower temperatures which means a lower cost of materials, fewer problems from oxidation and corrosion, and improved durability. In a preferred embodiment, the dense electrolyte and porous electrolyte is yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), and the electrocatalyst is selected from silver; platinum; rhodium; palladium; iridium; ruthenium;(La.sub.1-x Sr.sub.x) MnO.sub.3, wherein x is 0 to 0.5;(La.sub.1-x Sr.sub.x) CoO.sub.3, wherein x is 0 to 0.6;(La.sub.1-x Sr.sub.x)(Co.sub.1-y Fe.sub.y)O.sub.3, wherein x is 0 to 0.4 and y is 0 to 0.8;In.sub.2 O.sub.3 --PrO.sub.1.83 --ZrO.sub.2, having composition ratios of In.sub.2 O.sub.3 of 0-90%, PrO.sub.1.83 of 10-60% and ZrO.sub.2 of 0 to 50%;TbO.sub.2 being 35 to 40% doped with YSZ;SnO.sub.2 being 0 to 20% doped with In.sub.2 O.sub.3 ;ZrO.sub.2 being 0 to 40% doped with In.sub.2 O.sub.3 ;Sm.sub.0.5 Sr.sub.0.5 CoO.sub.3 ;La.sub.0.6 Ca0.4MnO.sub.3 ;Y.sub.1-x Ca.sub.x FeO.sub.3, wherein x is 0 to 1;SrCo.sub.1-x Fe.sub.x O.sub.3, wherein x is 0.2 to 0.8;TiO.sub.2 being 0-30% doped with YSZ; or mixtures thereof.

摘要:
A ceramic composite containing alkali-metal-beta- or beta″-alumina and an oxygen-ion conductor is fabricated by converting alpha-alumina to alkali-metal-beta- or beta″-alumina. A ceramic composite with continuous phases of alpha-alumina and the oxygen-ion conducting ceramic, such as zirconia, is exposed to a vapor containing an alkali-metal oxide, such as an oxide of sodium or potassium. Alkali metal ions diffuse through alkali-metal-beta- or beta″-alumina converted from &agr;-alumina and oxygen ions diffuse through the oxygen-ion conducting ceramic to a reaction front where alpha-alumina is converted to alkali-metal-beta- or beta″-alumina. A stabilizer for alkali-metal-beta″-alumina is preferably introduced into the &agr;-alumina/oxygen-ion conductor composite or introduced into the vapor used to convert the alpha-alumina to an alkali-metal-beta″-alumina.

A ceramic composite containing alkali-metal-.beta.- or .beta."-alumina and an oxygen-ion conductor is fabricated by converting .alpha.-alumina to alkali-metal-.beta.- or .beta."-alumina. A ceramic composite with continuous phases of .alpha.-alumina and the oxygen-ion conducting ceramic, such as zirconia, is exposed to a vapor containing an alkali-metal oxide, such as an oxide of sodium or potassium.

Disclosed is a method for lithography etching a glass substrate. The method includes the steps of providing a glass substrate, providing miniature balls on the glass substrate so that the miniature balls become an etching-resistant layer, etching the glass substrate covered by the miniature balls to make a miniature pattern on the glass substrate, and removing the miniature balls from the substrate.
