Publication number: 20170162894Abstract: A ceramic cell structure includes an upper electrode layer, and a lower electrode layer. At least one electrolyte layer and at least one electron barrier layer are disposed between the upper electrode layer and the lower electrode layer. By changing the combination of the electrolyte layer and the, electron barrier layer disposed between the upper electrode layer and the lower electrode layer, the problem caused by conducting electricity via the electron which results in open circuit voltage drop and high temperature due to solely using electrolyte laser can be avoided. Conducting electricity via the electron can be prevented by adding the electron barrier layer with high ionic conductivity ratio. Besides, the ceramic cell can further increase the open circuit voltage and the power density above 700° C.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2015Publication date: June 8, 2017Inventors: Sea-Fue WANG, Hsi-Chuan LU
