KEPRI has studied planar type SOFC stacks using anode-supported single cells and kW class co-generation systems for residential power generation. A 1kW class SOFC system consisted of a hot box part, a cold BOP part and a water reservoir. A hot box part contains a SOFC stack made up of 48 cells with $10{\times}10cm^2$ area and ferritic stainless steel interconnectors, a fuel reformer, a catalytic combustor and heat exchangers. Thermal management and insulation system were especially designed for self-sustainable operation. A cold BOP part was composed of blowers, pumps, a water trap and system control units. When a 1kW class SOFC system was operated at $750^{\circ}C$ with hydrogen, the stack power was 1.2kW at 30 A and 1.6kW at 50A. Turning off an electric furnace, the SOFC system was operated using hydrogen and city gas without any external heat source. Under self-sustainable operation conditions, the stack power was about 1.3kW with hydrogen and 1.2kW with city gas respectively. The system also recuperated heat of about 1.1kW by making hot water. Recently KEPRI developed stacks using $15{\times}15cm^2$ cells and tested them. KEPRI will develop a 5 kW class CHP system using $15{\times}15cm^2$ stacks by 2010.

고체산화물연료전지는 고효율 및 무공해의 전기화학 에너지 변환장치로서, 최근 국내외에서 활발한 연구개발이 수행되고 있다. 특히, 고체산화물 연료전지 시스템의 조기 상용화를 위해 시스템의 작동온도를 약 $800^{\circ}C$ 이하로 낮추고 저가로 생산 할 수 있는 제조공정 개발에 대한 연구를 적극적으로 수행하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고체산화물연료전지의 단위셀를 구성하는 연료극지지체 및 박막 전해질에 대해서 저가 양산의 테이프케스팅법 및 동시소성 공정, 그리고 연료극 지지체 전해질(anode-supported electrolyte)에 대한 공기극 페이스트 프린팅 제조공정에 대해 소개한다. 또한 고체산 화물연료전지의 제조공정 및 시간을 단축하기 위해 방전플라즈마 소결공법(SPS)에 의한 연료극 지지체 제조 공정, 단위셀의 성능 최적화를 위한 나노 스케일의 고성능 전해질 소재 분말합성 공정(crystallite size: 5~10nm, surface area : $100m^2/g$ 이상) 그리고 테이프케스팅에 의한 박막 전해질 제조 공정(thin film : $10{\mu}m$ 이하) 등 주요 단위셀 소재 및 부품의 제조공정 특성 그리고 단위셀의 전기화학적 특성(max. power density : 1.0 W/$cm^2$)에 대해 소개하며, 최종적으로 평판형 대면적 고체산화물연료전지(max. $20cm{\times}15cm$)의 단위셀 상용화 제조 기술 및 성능평가 기술에 대해서도 소개 할 예정이다.

The optimal fabrication conditions for $Gd_{0.1}Ce_{0.9}O_{2-{\delta}}$(GDC) buffer layer and $La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}Co_{0.2}Fe_{0.8}O_{3-{\delta}}$ (LSCF) cathode on 1mol% $CeO_2-10mol%\;Sc_2O_3$ stabilized $ZrO_2$ (CeScSZ) electrolyte were investigated for application of IT-SOFCs. GDC buffer layer was used in order to prevent undesired chemical reactions between LSCF and CeScSZ. These experiments were carried out with $5{\times}5cm^2$ anode supported unit cells to investigate the tendencies of electrochemical performance, Microstructure development and interface reaction between LSCF/GDC/CeScSZ along with the variations of GDC buffer layer thickness, sintering temperatures of GDC and LSCF were checked, respectively. Electrochemical performance was analyzed by DC current-voltage measurement and AC impedance spectroscopy. Microstructure and interface reaction were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Although the interfacial reaction between these materials could not be perfectly inhibited, We found that the cell, in which $6{\mu}m$ GDC interlayer sintered at $1200^{\circ}C$ and LSCF sintered at $1000^{\circ}C$ were applied, showed good interfacial adhesions and effective suppression of Sr, thereby resulting in fairly good performance with power density of $0.71W/cm^2$ at $800^{\circ}C$ and 0.7V.
