Abstract: This invention relates to a method for preparing of a submicro/nano-porous NiO/apatite-type lanthanum silicate anode functional layer. In the method a functional layer nanopowder, ethyl cellulose and terpineol are added into a rotary evaporation bottle containing anhydrous ethanol, and a suspension obtained after mixing is dispersed ultrasonically.

The functional layer paste is applied onto an anode substrate by screen printing, and 3 sublayers are screen printed. After dried, the sublayers are heat treated and sintered. The heating rate, the cooling rate and the holding time are controlled in the heating and cooling processes to complete the preparation of the anode functional layer.
