Description of the research topic |
A high temperature fuel cell testing system has been designed and built in order to evaluate the performances of our cells under different operating conditions (T° and gas) (Fig. 1).
Fig. 1 :Fuel cell testing system and the target for fuel cell performances
3 types of button cells were synthesized and tested:
Materials : electrolyte : BaIn0.3Ti0.7O2.85; anode : 18.7%-vol. Ni/BaIn0.3Ti0.7O2.85; cathode : La0.8Sr0.2MnO3-δ |
| (1) Electrolyte supported cell:
|
- thick and dense pellet of electrolyte + slurries of anode and cathode
|
| (2) Anode supported cell (co-densified):
|
- co-pressing and co-firing of powders of anode and electrolyte materials + slurry of cathode
|
| (3) Anode supported cell (spray pyrolysis):
|
- thick and porous pellet of anode + spray pyrolysis of electrolyte + slurry of cathode
