  • Patent number: 8349395
    Abstract: The invention relates to a electrically conductive steel-ceramic connection comprising a steel interconnector and an electrically conductive ceramic joining layer arranged thereon. The interconnector comprises a ferritic steel containing Cr in a quantity ranging from 18 to 24% by weight. The ceramic layer contains perovskite of a formula Ln1-xSrxMn1-yCoyO3-? or Ln1-xSrxFe1-yCoyO3-?, wherein 0.1?x?0.4, 0.1?y?0.6, 0???x/2 and Ln=La—Lu. The inventive steel-ceramic connection is usable for a high-temperature fuel cell and regularly exhibits good adhesive properties and a low transition resistance (initial transition resistance R approximately equal to 0.01 ?cm2). Said steel-ceramic connection makes it possible to advantageously introduce a ferritic steel into high-temperature fuel cells. The inventive method for producing said steel-ceramic connection consists in pre-treating an inserted ceramic powder exhibiting good sinterability during an assembly process and during the fuel cell operation.

  • Publication number: 20050096216
    Abstract: A process for the production mixed metal oxide containing catalysts comprising the steps of: dissolution of metals Me=Fe, Ni, Al, Cu, Co, Zn, Cr, in nitric acid providing an acid solution of metal mixed nitrate products, aluminium can be added either as nitrate or hydroxide; addition of a carbonhydrate, an amino acid and/or a carboxylic acid; decomposition at 250-700° C. with free air supply of the acid solution by spraying onto the inner surface of one or more rotary kilns, into a spray calcination fluid bed, into a tower kiln or into a steel band conveyor furnace to iron oxide and NOx; and optionally regeneration of the formed NOx to concentrated nitric acid and recycling of produced nitric acid to the first step.
