摘要:
The invention concerns a process for applying catalytically active material to a polymer diaphragm for low-temperature fuel cells. In accordance with the invention a non-polar solvent, catalytically active material and a polymer solution are processed to form a paste. The paste is applied to the diaphragm in layer form, in particular by screen printing. Then the paste is dried and pressed to the diaphragm with the application of heat. Swelling of the diaphragm is avoided by virtue of the presence of non-polar solvents. It is therefore possible to produce the desired product with a few processing steps. Material losses are minimized by the provision of the screen printing procedure. Overall therefore the process is simple and inexpensive.

The aim of the invention is to produce complete high temperature fuel cells by means of thermal injection processes (e.g. atmospheric plasma injection, vacuum plasma injection, high speed flame injection). The production method is especially simplified and is economical by virtue of the fact that the carrier substrate is also produced on a base with the aid of a thermal injection method. The base or an intermediate layer placed thereon can be advantageously dissolved or decomposed such that the carrier substrate provided with layers arranged thereon can be separated in a very simple manner from the base which becomes unnecessary. Said method advantageously enables the production of all layers of a high temperature fuel cell, exclusively with the aid of a thermal injection method.

A system for gas separation has a mechanically stable metallic substrate layer having a pair of opposite faces and formed throughout with open pores. Respective functional layers laminated on each of the faces are composed of TiO2 or ZrO2. These functional layers are formed throughout with pores having an average pore diameter of less than 1 nm.

The invention relates to a high-temperature resistant seal, particularly a seal for use in a high-temperature fuel cell. The inventive seal comprises a structured metallic layer having at least one area on whose surface a filler is placed. The filler is comprised, in particular, of clay minerals or ceramic materials. The seal thus advantageously combines the sealing properties of a metallic layer, for example, of an undulated metal foil with the elastic properties of the filler. The seal is particularly suited for use at high temperatures and thus, for example, in high-temperature fuel cells.

Disclosed is a method for producing semi-finished products from a shape memory alloy, particularly an NiTi shape memory alloy, wherein a powder is first produced from a shape memory alloy, and subsequently the powder is divided into a coarse fraction and a fine fraction in a separating cut T. While the fine fraction is required, in particular, for the production of a first semi-finished product, employing the metal injection molding (MIM) method, the coarse fraction can be used for the production of a second semi-finished product, employing the hot isostatic pressing (HIP) method. The advantages of the invention can be summarized as follows. The MIM method for producing semi-finished products from a shape memory alloy is qualitatively improved and more cost-effective to implement if the coarse fraction that is typically obtained during powder production, but not used for the MIM process, can advantageously be supplied to a further process, in this case the HIP process. Due to the use of particularly fine powder, the semi-finished products produced by way of the MIM method have an advantageous, powder-metallurgical microstructure. In particular, the alloying elements are distributed particularly homogeneously in these semi-finished products, casting flaws or segregations do not usually occur, no anisotropy of the structure occurs as a result of the processing steps, and ternary alloys can be processed, which due to the mechanical properties thereof, cannot be processed by way of conventional forming methods.

Anode-supported high-temperature fuel cells with a substrate and an anode of stabilised zirconium dioxide and metallic nickel can be destroyed by air penetrating on the fuel gas side. Reoxidation causes the volume of the nickel in the anode to change. The resultant mechanical stresses may destroy the gas-impermeable electrolyte. The invention provides oxygen scavengers that can be produced at low cost for the anode, which more effectively bind the oxygen that penetrates on the fuel gas side than oxygen scavengers according to the prior art.

The invention relates to a method for producing a device for gas separation, said device comprising a layer system wherein a functional layer consisting of TiO2 and/or ZrO2 having an average pore diameter of less than 1 nm is applied to at least one side of a carrier layer that is porous throughout. Said carrier layer is preferably between 100 ?m and 1 mm thick and comprises continuous pores with an average pore diameter in the ?m range. The functional layer which is applied directly or by means of at least one intermediate layer comprises continuous pores with an average pore diameter of less than 1 nm, especially less than 0.8 nm. The functional layer can advantageously be embodied as a graduated layer. The invention is especially characterised by the symmetrical structure of the device, in which functional layers are applied to both sides of the carrier layer, optionally by means of respectively at least one intermediate layer.

A porous near-net-shape metallic parts with an open porosity of at least 10% by volume is made by first forming an injectable mass of a metallic powder of stainless steel, Ti, NiTi, or a titanium alloy, at least one thermoplastic binder, and at least one place holder. The mass then injection molded into the shape of the part to be produced, cooled, set in a capillary-active material, and subjected to a first-stage binder removal to produce an open porosity. The place holder is then removed at least partially from the part with a fluid, and the part is subjected to a thermal binder-removing process. Finally the part is sintered.

The invention relates to a method for producing highly porous, metallic molded bodies. The inventive method consists of the following steps: a metallic powder used as a starting material is mixed with a dummy; a green body is pressed out of the mixture; the green body is subjected to conventional mechanical machining, the dummy advantageously increasing the stability of the green body; the dummy material is thermally separated from the green body by means of air, a vacuum or an inert gas; and the green body is sintered to form the molded body and is then advantageously finished. Suitable materials for the dummy are, for example, ammonium bicarbonate or carbamide. The mechanical machining carried out before the sintering advantageously enables a simple production close to the desired final contours, even for complicated geometries of the molded body to be produced, without impairing the porosity, and without high wear of the tools. The workpiece is advantageously sufficiently stable in terms of pressure for the green machining as the dummy material is still present in the pores of the green body during the machining.
摘要:
The substrate-supported anode for a high-temperature fuel cell comprises an at least three-layer anode laminate on a metallic substrate. Each of the layers of the anode laminate comprises yttria-stabilized zirconia and nickel, wherein the mean particle size of the nickel decreases from one layer to the next as the distance from the substrate increases. The last layer of the anode laminate, which is provided for contact with the electrolyte, has a root mean square roughness of less than 4 μm. The overall mean pore size of this layer is typically between 0.3 and 1.5 μm. Starting powders having a bimodal particle size distribution of yttria-stabilized zirconia and nickel-containing powder are used at least for the first and second layers of the anode laminate. The mean particle size of the nickel-containing powder is reduced from one layer to the next, whereby it is advantageously no more than 0.5 μm in the last layer of the anode laminate.
