Ceramic electrode structure

This micro reactor consists of five ceramic layers [70, 71]. The top layer contains two bores for flnid feed and withdrawal. The second layer contains the flow distribution structures. The third comprises a micro channel array. The fourth carries the above-mentioned electrode structures. The last layer is an unstructured plate (Figure 4.34).

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) are operating at a temperature level above 700 °C using a ceramic electrolyte. Significant technical progress has been achieved in recent years, particularly using very thin electrolytes supported on an electrode structure. Furthermore, improved microstructure of the electrodes further boosted...

In the ceramics field many of the new advanced ceramic oxides have a specially prepared mixture of cations which determines the crystal structure, through the relative sizes of the cations and oxygen ions, and the physical properties through the choice of cations and tlreh oxidation states. These include, for example, solid electrolytes and electrodes for sensors and fuel cells, fenites and garnets for magnetic systems, zirconates and titanates for piezoelectric materials, as well as ceramic superconductors and a number of other substances...

The bipolar plate design is illustrated in Fig. 47. It consists of a cross-flow arrangement where the gas-tight separation is achieved by dense ceramic or metallic plates with grooves for air and fuel supply to the appropriate electrodes. A porous cathode, a dense and thin electrolyte and a porous anode form a composite flat layer placed at the top of the interconnected grooves. The deposition of the porous electrodes can be achieved by mass production methods. Moreover, the bipolar plate configuration technology makes it possible to check for defaults, independently and prior to assembly of the interconnection plate and the anode-electrolyte-cathode structure.
