Abstract
The thermal and chemical stability of glasses in the BaO–Al 2O 3–La 2O 3–B 2O 3–SiO 2 system were investigated as well as bonding characteristics and wetting behavior to yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte, to develop a suitable sealing glass for planar solid oxide fuel cell operating at 800–850 °C. The thermal properties such as glass transition temperature, softening temperature and thermal expansion coefficient were found to depend on the B 2O 3:SiO 2 ratio in glass composition; thus the bonding characteristics of the glass to YSZ were also influenced by this ratio. The glass having a minimum thermal expansion mismatch with YSZ showed an excellent endurance during thermal cycling. No interface reaction was observed for all the glass/YSZ specimens heat-treated at 800–850 °C up to 100 h.
