Abstract

In present work, $La_{0.8}Ca_{0.2}CrO_{3}$(LCC), $La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}CrO_{3}$(LSC) and $La_{0.8}Ca_{0.2}CrO_{0.9}Co_{0.1}O_{3}$(LCCC) ceramic interconnect layer for SOFC were prepared by using thermal plasma spray coating process. The LCC, LSC and LCCC powders were characterized by x-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), particle counter and BET analysis. In addition, basic and essential properties such as the surface morphology, cross section, gas leak rate, and electrical conductivity of LCC, LSC, and LCCC layers coated by thermal plasma spray coating process were analyzed and discussed. Based on these experimental results, it can be concluded that the LCCC layer coated by thermal plasma spray coating process can be suitable as a ceramic interconnect of SOFC.

본 연구에서는 열 플라스마 용사 코팅 법을 사용하여 고체산화물 연료전지에서 사용되는 $La_{0.8}Ca_{0.2}CrO_{3}$(LCC), $La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}CrO_{3}$(LSC), $La_{0.8}Ca_{0.2}CrO_{0.9}Co_{0.1}O_{3}$(LCCC) 세라믹 연결재를 코팅하여 코팅 층의 특성평가를 수행하였다. 열 플라즈마 코팅에 앞서 각 세라믹 연결재 입자의 특성평가를 위해 X선 회절, 미세 구조, 입자 측정 및 비표면적 분석을 수행하였다. 세라믹 연결재 입자의 특성평가 후, 열 플라스마 용사 코팅 법을 사용하여 연료극 지지체 위에 코팅하였으며, 코팅 층의 특성을 평가하기 위해 코팅 층의 표면, 파단면 분석, 가스 누출 속도 및 전기 전도도 측정을 수행하였다. 이러한 특성 평가 결과를 바탕으로 열 플라스마 용사 코팅 법을 통해 코팅된 LCCC 코팅 층이 고체산화물 연료전지의 세라믹 연결재로서 적합함을 확인하였다.
