Technique for rapid cured electrochemical apparatus component fabrication

摘要

A process for the fabrication of a component or component feature for an electrochemical apparatus including providing a printing medium comprising a rapid curable polymer containing carrier and a powder of a component material precursor, printing one of a uniform layer or a pattern of such printing medium on a substrate, and rapidly curing the curable polymer to form a cured part; and the parts made by this process. A process for the fabrication or a multi-layer cell of an SOFC including providing a printing medium comprising a radiation curable polymer containing carrier and a powder of a component material precursor, printing one of a uniform layer or a pattern of such printing medium on a substrate, and radiation curing the curable polymer to form a cured part; and the parts made by this process. The process can use an ultraviolet light curable polymer binder and electrode material powder in an industrial printer to form a solid fuel cell electrode component.
