Abstract

The paper presents the innovative design of a ceramic high temperature solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) in which the anode consists of two parts: the bottom supportive part with microchannels for fuel distribution and the upper operating part which takes part in the electrochemical reaction in the cell. Both parts of the anode are made of cofired yttrium-stabilized zirconia (Ni/YSZ) foils. Microchannels as well as the manifold for combustion products are engraved mechanically in the isostatic pressed stack of Ni/YSZ foils before their firing. The electrolyte and the cathode are set on the upper functional part of the anode by successive screen printing and firing of the electrolyte paste and the cathode paste. The paper reveals details of the fuel cell processing, test fixture and measurement setup for testing the cells, as well as the results of open circuit voltage and short-circuit current measurements.
