Abstract The atmospheric pressure plasma spray processes for functional layers of the tubular solid oxide fuel cell are developed to build a fuel cell structure consisting of air electrode, ceramic electrolyte, and fuel electrode. Further more the characteristics of each film are also investigated. The layers of LSM (La0.65Sr0.35MnO3) air electrode and Ni/8YSZ fuel electrode have porosities of 23 ~32 % sufficient for supplying fuel and oxidant gases efficiently to electrochemical reaction interfaces. The measured electrical conductivities of the electrodes are higher than 90 S/cm at 1000 °C, which satisfy the requirement as the current collecting electrodes. The YSZ electrolyte film has a high ionic conductivity of 0.07 S/cm at 1000 °C, but shows a bit too porous to block the oxygen molecule penetration through it. A unit tubular SOFC is fabricated by the optimized plasma spray processes for depositing each functional film and forming a porous cylindrical supporting tube of the cell, and turns out to have a promising capability of electricity generation.

Abstract. Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is an electrochemical conversion device that undergoes a thermal cycling at various operating temperature where lead to the degradation of its mechanical properties. Electrolyte among the main component in SOFC plays a crucial part in defined the overall performance which facing a lattice expansion event when exposed to heating. Thus, in this paper BaCe0.54Zr0.36Y0.1O3-δ (BCZY) was selected as potential electrolyte for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell (IT-SOFC) to investigate its lattice expansion as a function of temperature. The sample was prepared via a sol gel method and calcined at 1100°C for 10 hours to form a powder and then pressed to become a pellet. To ensure a good densification in such pellet, two-steps sintering processes was indicated at 1500°C and ground to a powder form prior to the lattice expansion measurements. High temperature X-ray diffraction (HT-XRD) was used to study the lattice expansion of sample in the temperature range of 25°C to 700°C with interval 100°C under air atmosphere. HT-XRD analysis was done using X’pert Highscore Plus software and Visual for Electronic and Structural Analysis (VESTA) software was used to observe the crystal structure. Phase and structural analysis of BCZY electrolyte materials were discussed. Apparently, the BCZY shows an average of 97% phase purity from room temperature to 700°C. Rietveld refinement analysis revealed that the BaCe0.54Zr0.36Y0.1O3-δ exhibits cubic symmetrical structure with unit cell, a=b=c that varied from 4.3440Å - 4.3731Å for all the temperature studied. Thus, the expansion percentage for the lattice expansion from room temperature to 700°C was about 12.6 %.

Critical Issues

One of the critical issues in designing a planar solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is the development of materials to hermetically seal the metal (430 series stainless steel) or ceramic interconnector with the ceramic electrolyte of the cell. The main objective of this sealing material is to achieve a low leak rate, long-term stability at operating temperature and chemical compatibility with other components. One of the compositions has been operated in an SOFC in excess of 30 minutes over the range of 600, 700, 800, and 900°C. The seal is a composition of polymer blend and glass of 1:3, 1:1 and 3:1 by weight. The leakage rate of each seal was measured simultaneously under the compressive force of 100 N, 2 bar Helium. The seal was characterized using a thermogravimetric analysis. The effect of glass composition on operating temperature and compressive forces on the leakage rate have been discussed and correlated.
