고체산화물연료전지(SOFCs)는 연료가스를 전기화학반응을 통하여 전기에너지로 직접 전환한다. SOFCs의 이점은 수소인프라가 구축되기 이전이라도 연료의 다양성으로 연료전지를 효과적으로 구동할 수 있다. 한편 낮춰진 운전온도의 IT-SOFCs는 일부 재료의 개발은 다소 여유가 있으나 SOFCs의 완성을 위한 긴 수명과 내구성의 달성을 위한 도전은 계속되고 있다. SOFCs에 유용하게 사용하는 연료는 탄화수소인 천연가스이다. 애노드 재료로 가장 보편적으로 사용하는 재료는 Ni/YSZ서멧이다. 그러나 이는 몇 가지 단점을 가져 연료조건하에서 혼합전도도를 나타내는 새로운 애노드 재료의 개발이 필요하다. 이 논문은 SOFCs 애노드 재료개발에 대한 최근 동향을 기술한다.

A layered planer SOFC module was designed from planar-type SOFC. It was prepared by multi-layered ceramic technology. To form the cathode and the anode in the layered structure, reliable channels should be made on the both side of electrolyte perpendicularly. However, monolithic SOFC using multi-layered ceramic technology hasn't been studied another group, and the warpage of electrolyte in the channel, also, hasn't been studied, when electrode is printed on the electrolyte. In this study, the channels are prepared with electrode printing, and their warpage are evaluated. In the case of YSZ without electrode, the warpages are nothing in the limit of measurement using optical microscope. The warpage of 'YSZ-NiO printed' increases than that of 'NiO printed', and also, the case of 'double electrode printed' is similar to 'YSZ-NiO printed'. It is thought that, in the printed electrolyte, the warpage is related to the difference of the sintering behavior of each material.

We evaluate and compare the power generating characteristics of the anode supported SOFCs which have been fabricated from KIST and FZ-Julich in Germany. The performance and electrochemical property of each unit cell was characterized at the temperature range of $650-850^{\circ}C$ under same operating conditions and its microstructural property was thoroughly investigated via SEM after the performance test. According to the investigation, KIST- and FZJ SOFC showed different power generating characteristics in their temperature dependances due to their different design of electrode microstructure, especially the cathode microstructure. FZJ SOFC showed better performance at high temperature while showed lower performance at lower temperature. From the investigation about the correlation between microstructure and electrochemical property, we found that the superior performance of FZJ SOFC at high temperature was mainly due to its lower cathodic polarization resistance whereas better performance of KIST SOFC at lower temperature was mostly attributed to the lower ohmic resistance.

Oxygen ionic conductors of YSZ electrolyte in SOFC unit cell are applied to anode and cathode as well as electrolyte to have triple-phase-boundaries(TPB) of electrochemical reaction, and it is required to decrease the sintering temperature of anode-supported electrolyte by the nanoscale of YSZ powder.In this report, nanoscale YSZ powder was synthesized by the chemical co-precipitation method. The particle size, surface area and morphology of the powder were observed by SEM and BET. Thin film electrolyte of under 10㎛ was fabricated by tape casting using the synthesized YSZ powder, and ionic conductivity and gas permiability of electrolyte film were evaluated. Finally, the SOFC unit cell was fabricated using the anode-supported electrolyte prepared by a tape casting method and co-sintering. Electrochemical evauations of the SOFC unit cell, including measurements such as power density and impedance, were performed and analyzed.

Electrochemical evaluations of the SOFC unit cell, including measurements such as power density and impedance, were performed and analyzed.

$LaCrO_3$ series are the most common candidate materials for a ceramic interconnect for SOFC and the thermal expansion coefficient of these matches very well with that of YSZ electrolyte. In this study, characteristics of the coated films on the anode-support, which were formed by using $La_{0.8}Ca_{0.2}CrO_3$, $La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}CrO_3$, $La_{0.8}Ca_{0.2}Co_{0.1}Cr_{0.9}O_3$ for ceramic interconnet for SOFC, were investigated. All powders showed single perovskite phase and the precursors had spherical shapes of $2{\mu}m{\sim}30{\mu}m$. According to SEM analysis, coated film of LCC on pretreated anode-support was more thicker, whereas the coated film on untreated anode-support was densely formed. As the results of electrical conductivity of anode-support coated with the ceramic interconnects, LCCC exhibited the most excellent electrical conductivity of 0.15S/cm at $750^{\circ}C$.

The properties of manufactured SOFC unit cell using decalcomania method were investigated. The decalcomania method that used in ceramics, dish, vessel and etc. was the very simple process. The SOFC unit cell manufacturer using decalcomania method is very simple process. Especially, the decalcomania method was the most suitable manufacturing method for the segmented type SOFC. The cathode, prevent diffusion layer (PDL), anode functional layer (AFL) and electrolyte were manufactured using decalcomania method on porous anode support. The sintered electrolyte at 1450$^{\circ}C$ for 2 h using decalcomania method was very dense, and the thickness was about 10 ${\mu}m$. The cathode, the PDL and the AFL were manufactured using decalcomania method and was sintered at 1250$^{\circ}C$ for 2 h, and the sintered electrodes were the porous. As a result, with humidified hydrogen used as fuel, the cell with an 15 ${\mu}m$-thick AFL exhibited maximum power densities of 0.246, 0.364, 0.504W/$cm^2$ at 700, 750, 800$^{\circ}C$, respectively.
