METAL-SUPPORTED SOLID OXIDE CELL

摘要

A novel solid oxide cell consists of at least one layer containing steel (metal alloys consisting predominantly of Fe) (layer A), in which the backbone of one or more layers (layer B), that is located between layer A and a substantially dense ion-conducting layer (layer C), is a solid cermet comprising a ceramic material with a metal alloy, in which the main metal component is preferably cobalt or chromium. The cell may comprise a further layer (layer D), which is a cathode layer, when layer B is an anode layer, and vice versa. This complete cell can be a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) as well as a solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) depending on which of the electrodes serves as the anode.
