Development and Electrochemical Evaluation of Tape Cast Substrates for SOFC Single Cells

2013

Masteroppgave fornybar energi- Universitetet i Agder, 2013 As a means to reduce the solid oxide fuel cell material cost and make it more adapted to other fuels, titania as a candidate catalyst material has been investigated. A low-cost, high precision, self made tape casting system made it possible to fabricate thin films by the tape casting method. Substrates for SOFC single cells were manufactured through experimentation and optimization of slurry recipes for tape casting. The produced substrates were micro-structural analyzed by using an AFM, and evaluated with the use of EIS. The study shows that it is possible to fabricate standalone titania substrates. And the structural analysis and …
