Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel electrode for high-temperature solid electrolyte fuel cells and a process for manufacture of the electrode. The fuel electrode of the invention is a porous element composed of a high-melting metal, such as ruthenium, osmium, rhodium or iridium, or an alloy containing the metal. The process for manufacture of the fuel electrode comprises coating an electrode material with a solution or dispersion of the high-melting metal and/or its chloride, sintering the same and finally reducing the product.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cermet electrode for use as e.g. the fuel electrode of a solid electrolyte fuel cell and a method of manufacturing the same. This cermet electrode is characterized by comprising grains of a high-melting metal having a melting point of not less than 1,900° C. and/or grains of an alloy containing the high-melting metal and secured in position by zirconia doped to present the form of a cubic lattice. The method of manufacturing this cermet electrode comprises covering a support of doped zirconia with grains of a high-melting metal having a melting point of not less than 1,900° C. and/or grains of an alloy containing the high-melting metal and causing a framework structure to grow from the doped zirconia around the grains by electrochemical vapor deposition to secure the grains in position and to the support.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing interconnectors for solid oxide electrolyte fuel cells (SOFC). The method of the invention is characterized in that a compact thin film to serve as an interconnector is formed on a substrate by the laser ablation method. By this method, interconnectors made of a compact thin film highly accurate in composition can be produced with high productivity.
