Development of Copper-Ferrite Spinel Coating on AISI 430 Steel Used as Solid Oxide Fuel Cell

Authors

Abstract:

The bare and pre-oxidized AISI 430 pieces were screen printed by copper ferrite spinel coatings. Good bonding between the coating and the substrate was achieved by the reactive sintering process of the reduced coating. The energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis revealed that the scale is a double layer consisting of a chromia-rich subscale and an outer Cu/Fe-rich spinel. The results showed that the spinel protection layer not only significantly decreased the area specific resistance (ASR), but also inhibited the subscale growth by acting as a barrier to the inward diffusion of oxygen. ASRs of 19.7 and 32.5 mΩ.cm2, much lower than that of the bare substrate (153.4 mΩ.cm2), at 800 °C after 400 h oxidation were achieved for the bare and pre-oxidized copper ferrite spinel coated samples, respectively. Excellent, stable ASR (20.5 mΩ.cm2) was obtained with copper ferrite coating after 600 h of exposure at 800 °C. The high electrical conductivity of CuFe2O4 and its doping by Mn, the growth reduction of Cr2O3 oxide scale and the good coating to substrate adherence are proposed to be responsible for substantial improvement in electrical conductivity.

Thermal Growth Cu1.2Mn1.8O4 Spinel Coatings on Metal Interconnects for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Applications

A novel cobalt-free Cu1.2Mn1.8O4 spinel coating is prepared and evaluated for the metal interconnect of solid oxide fuel cell. Mn-35Cu and Co-35Mn alloy coatings are deposited on 430 SS substrate and then in-situ oxidized in air at 750 ◦C for 100 h. XRD results confirm that Cu1.2Mn1.8O4 spinel with some Mn2O3 is formed, and the average thickness of the coating is 70–80 μm according to cross sec...

Catalytic coatings on steel for low-temperature propane prereforming to solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) application.

Catalyst layers (4-20 microm) of rhodium (1 wt%) supported on alumina, titania, and ceria-zirconia (Ce(0.5)Zr(0.5)O(2)) were coated on stainless-steel corrugated sheets by dip-coating in very stable colloidal dispersions of nanoparticles in water. Catalytic performances were studied for low-temperature (< or = 500 degrees C) steam reforming of propane at a steam to carbon ratio equal to 3 and l...
