description

International audience; High temperature water vapour electrolysis (HTE) is an efficient technology for hydrogen production. In this context, a commercial stainless steel, K41X (AISI 441), was chosen as interconnect. In a previous paper, the high temperature corrosion and the electrical conductivity were evaluated in both anode (O-2-H2O) and cathode (H-2-H2O) atmosphere at 800 degrees C. In O-2-H2O atmosphere, the formation of a thin chromia protective layer was observed. Nevertheless, the ASR parameter measured was higher than the maximum accepted value. These results, in addition with chromium evaporation measurements, proved that the K41X alloy is not suitable for HTE interconnect application. In this study, two perovskite-type oxides La0.8Sr0.2MnO3-delta and LaNi0.6Fe0.4O3-delta were tested as coatings in O-2-H2O atmosphere at 800 degrees C. Screen-printing and physical vapour deposition were used as coating processes. The high temperature corrosion resistance and the electrical conductivity were improved, especially with the LaNi0.6Fe0.4O3-delta coating. Cr specie volatility was also reduced.
