  • Method of providing a functionally graded composite layer for coefficient of thermal expansion compliance in solid oxide fuel cell stacks and system components
    Patent number: 11133511
    Abstract: A buffer layer between an interconnect and an electrolyte of a solid oxide fuel cell, the buffer layer having a gradient in coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), wherein the buffer layer minimizes electrolyte damage due to a difference in CTE between the interconnect and electrolyte.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 17, 2018
    Date of Patent: September 28, 2021
    Assignee: BLOOM ENERGY CORPORATION
