  • Patent number: 8968959
    Abstract: In a method for fabrication of an electrochemical energy converter, cermet composition layers (2A), (2B) are applied on both sides of a central ceramic plate (1), channels (3A), (3B) are made in the cermet composition layers (2A), (2B), then the channels (3A), (3B) on both sides of the plate are covered with cermet composition layers (4A), (4B). Afterwards, both sides of the ceramic structure are overlaid with conductive structures (5A), (5B) and then with subsequent layers of the cermet composition (6A), (6B) containing nickel, then both sides of the ceramic structure are overlaid with: layers constituting the solid electrolyte (7A), (7B), layers constituting electrodes (8A), (8B) and contact layers (9A), (9B).

  • Patent number: 8778550
    Abstract: Battery of fuel cells comprises at least one stack of interconnected flat two-sided fuel cells arranged inside the thermally insulated chamber. Each two-sided cell is made in a form of a ceramic plate with individual connections for the supply and drainage of fluids and electric power output, and is equipped with the central ceramic anode structure with high electrical conductivity which, on both sides, has channels formed for distribution of fuel and operating channels covered with operating anode layers, which are then covered with solid electrolyte layers, cathode layers and cathode conductive layers. Each two-sided cell (DFC) makes mechanical contact with the neighboring two-sided cells (DFC) with flexible separators which enable transfer of the fuel and catalytic combustion products. Furthermore, inside the thermally insulated chamber, temperature-controlling elements are located, such as heaters, heat absorbers and devices forcing air circulation.

  • Publication number: 20120107717
    Abstract: The method for fabrication of the electrochemical energy converter characterised in that, cermet composition (2A)1 (2B) is applied on both sides of the central ceramic plate (1), wherein on both sides of the plate in the cermet composition (2A), (2B), channels (3A), (3B) are made, then the channels (3A), (3B) on both sides of the plate are covered with cermet composition layers (4A), (4B). Afterwards, both sides of the ceramic structure made in such a way are overlaid with conductive structures (5A), (5B) and then with subsequent layers of the cermet composition (6A). (6B) containing nickel, then both sides of the ceramic structure prepared in a such way are subsequently overlaid with: layers constituting the solid electrolyte (7A), (7B), layers constituting electrodes (8A), (8B) and contact layers (9A), (9B). The electrochemical energy converter has a flat layered ceramic base whose core is constituted by the central ceramic plate (D, permanently bonded with porous cermet layers (AN1).
