  • Publication number: 20250121590
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a layered product providing a base sheet (1) with one surface (4) and another, opposite surface (5), applying a first layer (2) of elastomeric material to the one surface (4) of the base sheet (1), said first layer (2) being a premanufactured foil of elastomeric material manufactured by being calendered, and applying a second layer (3) of elastomeric material to the other surface (5) of the base sheet (1), said second layer (3) being fabricated by liquid coating performed by a liquid material being passed from a vessel (14) containing the liquid material directly to the base sheet (1), or indirectly to the base sheet (1) via a liner (19). The disclosure also relates to a brake shim and to a gasket, each of which constituting a layered product according to the disclosure and being manufactured by the method according to the disclosure.

  • Patent number: 9269963
    Abstract: A method for producing and reactivating a solid oxide cell stack structure by providing a catalyst precursor in at least one of the electrode layers by impregnation and subsequent drying after the stack has been assembled and initiated. The method includes impregnating a catalyst precursor into a cathode of a solid oxide cell stack which already contains an active material (an anode reduction) for example, in the form of Ni/YSZ anodes. Due to a significantly improved performance and an unexpected voltage improvement this solid oxide cell stack structure is particularly suitable for use in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and solid oxide electrolysing cell (SOEC) applications.

  • Publication number: 20150244001
    Abstract: The present invention relates to electrodes having Gd and Pr-doped cerium oxide (CGPO) backbones infiltrated with Sr-doped LaCoO3 (LSC) and a method to manufacture them. Pr ions have been introduced into a prefabricated CGO backbone by infiltrating Pr nitrate solution followed by high temperature firing. The high temperature firing allows the Pr ions to diffuse into the CGO backbone. The resulting backbone would then have a co-doped subsurface exhibiting electronic conductivity having improved performance when used as electrode in, e.g. a fuel cell. Remaining particles of praseodymium oxide in the surface could also be advantageous.

  • Patent number: 8343685
    Abstract: The present invention relates to composite material suitable for use as an electrode material in a solid oxide cell, said composite material consist of at least two non-miscible mixed ionic and electronic conductors. Further provided is a composite material suitable for use as an electrode material in a solid oxide cell, said composite material being based on (Gd1-xSrx)1-sFe1-yCoyO3-? or (Ln1-xSrx)1-sFe1-yCioyO3-?1 (s equal to 0.05 or larger) wherein Ln is a lanthanide element, Sc or Y, said composite material comprising at least two phases which are non-miscible, said composite material being obtainable by the glycine nitrate combustion method. Said composite material may be used for proving an electrode material in the form of at least a two-phase system showing a very low area specific resistance of around 0.1 ?cm2 at around 600° C.
