  • CATHODE CONTACT LAYER DESIGN FOR PREVENTING CHROMIUM CONTAMINATION OF SOLID OXIDE FUEL CELLS
    Publication number: 20150270558
    Abstract: In embodiments, a fuel cell stack is provided that includes an interconnect between a first fuel cell and a second fuel cell, and a contact layer in contact with, and disposed between, an electrode of the first fuel cell and the interconnect. The contact layer may include a chromium-getter material. This chromium-getter material may consist of lanthanum oxide, lanthanum carbonate, and/or calcium carbonate.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PREVENTING CHROMIUM CONTAMINATION OF SOLID OXIDE FUEL CELLS
    Publication number: 20150270557
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a solid oxide fuel system is provided. The solid oxide fuel cell system may include a chromium-getter material. The chromium-getter material may react with chromium to remove chromium species from chromium vapor. The solid oxide fuel cell system may also include an inert substrate. The chromium-getter material may be coated onto the inert substrate. The coated substrate may remove chromium species from chromium vapor before the chromium species can react with a cathode in the solid oxide fuel cell system.
