Abstract
Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) development was started at the National Research Council of Canada's Institute for Fuel Cell Innovation (NRC-IFCI) in 2003 with the goal to develop the next generation of SOFC's for Canadian Industry. To accomplish this task, work focused on the development of low temperature cermet and metal supported cells, direct deposition methods, low temperature sintering, seal and stack technology. As of November 2006, 5cmx5cm cermet supported cell performance has been improved to 900 mW/cm2 @ 600{degree sign}C. These components have been incorporated into short stacks developed at IFCI to continue the push to commercialize this technology. At the same time, direct deposition technology has progressed rapidly to the point where metal supported 5x5 cells can be fabricated using sintering temperatures below 850{degree sign}C. Results of this work will be presented, along with the development path at IFCI.
