The in the EFP 2002 project were related to the development of a 3G cell with a metal suport of ferritic stainless steel and with stability towards redox and thermal cycling.
The activities in the project were: Cell test under extreme conditions, development and analysis of contacting, stability towards redox and thermal cycling, improvements of methods, and development
The project aim is to develop an integrated SOFC module (standard module) which can be based on the most cost effective materials and manufacturing processes in order to reduce SOFC plant expenses.
A new anode has been developed. By using ceria, doped with gadolinia and sintered at low temperature on a surface with coarse zirconia anchoring particles, an electrochemically active anode is formed.
