摘要： A method for preparing an electrode for a solid oxide fuel cell, in which a conductive material, such as a metal, is electrodeposited onto a porous electrode comprising a conductive material and an electrolyte. The method allows metals to be added directly to a porous electrode without the need for subsequent reduction steps. The method also permits the conductive materials to be deposited in controlled, layered structures, thereby enabling the use of different metals to achieve desired properties.

摘要： The invention relates to a solid oxide fuel cell which comprises a solid electrolyte comprised of an electronic insulator which allows transfer of anions, a ceramic-metal composite anode and, a cathode. The fuel cell also comprises a sulfur-containing hydrocarbon fuel having a sulfur content of from about 1 ppm to about 5000 ppm and an oxygen source. The invention further relates to a process of producing electrical energy with the fuel cell and a process of restoring the operability of a fuel cell that was deactivated by sulfur poisoning. The invention also relates to a method for preparation of a porous cermet as a direct-oxidation anode with supported electrolyte structure for a solid-oxide fuel cell using a nickel cermet. The nickel cermet is leached to remove at least part of the nickel, thereby producing a porous oxide. The resulting porous oxide is then impregnated, preferably with a salt of copper, which is calcined to CuO, then reduced to elemental copper. The resulting copper cermet or copper-nickel alloy cermet can be used as the direct-oxidation anode. The starting material for the nickel cermet is preferably a tape formed from a slurry comprising NiO and a ceramic powder comprising YSZ. This tape is combined into an assemblage with one or two additional tapes cast from a slurry comprising a ceramic powder. The invention further relates to a solid-oxide fuel cell comprising an anode material with supported electrolyte structure made by this method and a process for producing electrical energy using this fuel cell.
