Screen-printing for the fabrication of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC)

C. Pijolat,     École Nationale Supérieure des Mines, France

Abstract:

This chapter is focused on current development efforts in the field of fuel cells (FCs). After an introduction on the principle of FCs, the relevance of screen-printing to solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) developments is pointed out. The main part of the chapter is devoted to the use of screen-printing for material elaboration with a large difference between electrolytes and electrodes: it is necessary to obtain thin and dense layers for electrolytes; conversely, for electrodes (anodes and cathodes) the challenge lies in getting thick and porous layers. Special applications are presented in the last ...
