  • Process for producing a solid oxide fuel cell by depositing an electrically conductive and gas permeable layer on a porous support substrate
    Patent number: 10320019
    Abstract: A process for depositing an electrically conductive, preferably perovskitic layer uses a pulsed sputtering process. The layer has a low diffusivity for the elements in the iron group and is especially suitable for use in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). An assembly of the electrically conductive ceramic layer on a porous support substrate is also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 10, 2015
    Date of Patent: June 11, 2019
    Assignee: Plansee SE
    Inventors: Karl Kailer, Georg Kunschert, Stefan Schlichtherle, Georg Strauss

  • POROUS SUPPORT SUBSTRATE WITH AN ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE CERAMIC LAYER
    Publication number: 20120171464
    Abstract: An electrically conductive ceramic layer is deposited on a porous body. The porous body is formed of sintered Fe-based alloy grains and has a density of 40 to 70% of its theoretical density. The electrically conductive deposition layer preferably has a perovskitic structure and it is formed by a pulsed sputtering process. The layer has a low diffusivity for the elements in the iron group and is especially suitable for use in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC).
