Cell design and test

Olivier Joubert (MC), Annie Le Gal La Salle (CR)

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 : 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

Electrolyte supported cell

Thick and dense pellet of electrolyte + slurries of anode and cathode.

Anode supported cell (co-densified)

Co-pressing and co-firing of powders of anode and electrolyte materials + slurry of cathode.
