The solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) nickel-yttria stabilized zirconia (Ni-YSZ) anode degradation due to different types of siloxane contamination is investigated. A cyclic structure siloxane, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4), and a linear structure siloxane, decamethyltetrasiloxane (L4), are mixed with H2+N2 as the fuel for SOFCs at 750°C. The electrochemical characterization results after stability experiments suggest that the SOFC contaminated with cyclic siloxane, D4, had higher degradation. Pure YSZ pellets with different surface hydroxylation extents were also tested to investigate the D4/L4 adsorption and deposition process. Postmortem SEM/WDS, XRD and Raman analysis all indicate that cyclic siloxane has more deposition than linear siloxane on the anode. Further analysis demonstrates that high adsorption and low desorption rates of cyclic siloxane on YSZ are linked to the degradation. Besides the silicon deposition, SiC and amorphous carbon deposition were also observed from the XRD and Raman analysis.

ABSTRACTThin film, solid-oxide fuel cells (TFSOFCs) synthesized from an electrolyte and conductive material are developed using photolithographic patterning and physical vapor deposition. The anode layer must enable combination of the reactive gases, be conductive to pass the electric current, and provide mechanical support to the electrolyte and cathode layers. The microstructure and morphology desired for the anode layer should facilitate generation of maximum current density from the fuel cell. For these purposes, the parameters of the deposition process and post-deposition patterning are developed to optimize a continuous porosity across the anode layer. The anode microstructure is characterized using scanning electron microscopy and the power ouput generated through current-voltage measurement.

Abstract Crofer 22 H is an improved high performance material for use in high-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). The alloy contains 20% to 24% chromium plus tungsten, niobium, titanium, and lanthanum. It has excellent corrosion resistance at temperatures to 900 C (1652 F), good electrical conductivity of the oxide layer, and high mechanical strength at service temperature. It also has good processing properties. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, and joining. Filing Code: SS-1121. Producer or source: ThyssenKrupp VDM GmbH.
