본 논문에서는 세그먼트 관형 고체산화물 연료전지(SOFC)의 설계 및 제작과 특성 분석을 다루고 있다. 관형 세라믹 지지체는 압출 공정을 통하여 제작하였으며, NiO-YSZ 연료극과 YSZ 전해질은 담금 코팅법을 통해 세라믹 지지체에 코팅하였다. 코팅된 세라믹 지지체를 $1,350^{\circ}C$에서 5시간 동안 열처리하였으며, $10{\mu}m$ 미만의 치밀하고, 균열이 없는 YSZ 전해질 층을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 열처리된 세라믹 지지체에 LSM-YSZ/LSM/LSCF로 구성된 다층 구조 공기극을 담금법으로 코팅하여 $1,150^{\circ}C$에서 열처리하였다. 세라믹 관형 지지체에 코팅된 세그먼트 SOFC 셀은 Ag-glass 연결재를 사용하여 전기적으로 직렬 연결하였으며, 수소연료 유량과 운전 온도에 따른 세그먼트 SOFC의 성능 변화를 측정하였다.

In the segmented-in-series solid-oxide fuel cells (SIS-SOFCs), fabrication techniques which use decalcomania paper have many advantages, i.e., an increased active area of the electrode; better interfacial adhesion property between the anode, electrolyte and cathode; and improved layer thickness uniformity. In this work, a cell-stack was fabricated on porous ceramic flattened tube supports using decalcomania paper, which consists of an anode, electrolyte, and a cathode. The anode layer was $40{\mu}m$ thick, and was porous. The electrolyte layers exhibited a uniform thickness of about $20{\mu}m$ with a dense structure. Interfacial adhesion was improved due to the dense structure. The cathode layers was $30{\mu}m$ thick with porous structure, good adhesion to the electrolyte. The ohmic resistance levels at 800, 750 and $700^{\circ}C$ were measured, showing values of 1.49, 1.58 and $1.65{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$, respectively. The polarization resistances at 800, 750 and $700^{\circ}C$ were measured to be 1.63, 2.61 and $4.17cm^2$, respectively. These lower resistance values originated from the excellent interfacial adhesion between the anode, electrolyte and cathode. In a two-cell-stack SOFC, open-circuit voltages(OCVs) of 1.915, 1.942 and 1.957 V and maximum power densities(MPD) of 289.9, 276.1 and $220.4mW/cm^2$ were measured at 800, 750 and $700^{\circ}C$, respectively. The proposed fabrication technique using decalcomania paper was shown to be feasible for the easy fabrication of segmented-in-series flattened tube SOFCs.
