Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing a high-temperature fuel cell, which has a contact layer between the cathode and the bipolar plate, in which a contact material is applied to the bipolar plate for producing the contact layer and then a high temperature, which is in particular above 800 ° C. , is exposed.
- the fuel cells are divided into low, medium and high temperature fuel cells, which in turn differ in different technical embodiments.
- a fuel cell stack composed of a large number of high-temperature fuel cells (a fuel cell stack is also called “stack *” in the specialist literature)
- at least one composite circuit board has a protective layer under an upper composite circuit board, which covers the high-temperature fuel cell stack , - a contact layer, an electrolyte electrode unit, a further contact layer, another composite printed circuit board, etc.
- the electrolyte electrode unit comprises two electrodes and a solid electrolyte arranged between the two electrodes and designed as a membrane.
- an electrolyte electrode unit lying between adjacent composite printed circuit boards forms a high-temperature fuel cell with the contact layers directly adjoining the electrolyte electrode unit on both sides, which also includes the sides of each of the two composite printed circuit boards adjacent to the contact layers.
- This type and further types of fuel cells are known, for example, from the “Fuel Cell Handbook * by A. J. Appleby and F. R. Foulkes, 1989, pages 440 to 454.
- a single cell is electrically connected to a metallic bipolar plate on the cathode side by means of a ceramic contact layer.
- This contact layer has the task of compensating for unevenness in the production of the metallic and ceramic components in such a way that a full-surface, electronically conductive contact is produced between these components.
- the aim is to keep the contact resistance between the bipolar plate and the cathode as small as possible and thus to keep the internal resistance of the entire high-temperature fuel cell stack as low as possible.
- the requirements for the contact layer are also sufficient ductility to obtain the full-area contact mentioned.
- the electrically conductive deformable contact layer can be applied to the bipolar plate using a cold spraying process (DE 44 36 456 C2).
- the contact material applied to the bipolar plate is a spray suspension.
- the contact layer can be applied to the bipolar plate by means of a screen printing process.
- the contact material is a screen printing paste.
- the unsintered contact layer has a dry density which is in the range from 2.9 to 3.9 g / cm 3 .
- the object of the invention is to develop a method of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that the deformability of the contact layer can assume a relatively high value.
- This object is achieved according to the invention in that a pore former is added to the contact material before application.
- a pore former is a substance that burns without residue during a temperature treatment and thus leads to an increase in the pore volume. Such a substance can be both in liquid form and in the form of a solid; in this form it can be supplied to the screen printing paste or spray suspension mentioned.
- a substance is preferably chosen as the pore former, which is admixed as a solid to the screen printing paste or the spray suspension and which is insoluble in the solvent components of the screen printing paste or the spray suspension.
- a substance thus takes up a corresponding volume fraction in the contact layer, which can be in the range from 0 to 54% by volume.
- the dry density can be reduced to a value of 1.7 to 2.4 g / cm 3 . This allows a greater deformation of the contact layer.
- a plastic such as a melamine resin, can be used as a pore-forming additive.
- carbon can ⁇ material in the form of carbon, carbon black or graphite can be used.
- the grain size is preferably in the range below 10 ⁇ .
- a screen printed contact ⁇ layer whose thickness is between 50 microns and 150 microns and is in 38 vol .-% carbon black contains a grain size of about 50 nm, can be determined by annealing at a temperature below 800 ° C in the cooled Condition by cold forming by 20% due to a weight load of 420 p / cm 2 . If the layer contains 54% by volume of soot, a cold deformation of 40% is achieved.
- a layer that has been sintered in the contact material with the aid of a pore former has, despite its increased porosity, a sufficiently high bulk conductivity so that this does not make any significant contribution to the overall resistance of the entire stack at operating temperature.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 Exemplary embodiments of a high-temperature fuel cell, in which use is made of a contact layer with high deformation, are shown in the attached FIGS. 1 and 2.
- Figure 1 shows a section of such a high-temperature fuel cell, in which the contact layer is applied by a screen printing process
- FIG. 2 shows a section of a high-temperature fuel cell in which the contact layer is applied as a suspension using a cold spray process.
- a bipolar plate 2 which can consist, for example, of CrFe 5 2 ⁇ 3 l, is provided with a number of operating medium channels 4 which run parallel to the paper plane. These channels 4 are with a fuel gas, such as Hydrogen, charged.
- the bipolar plate 2 is electrically conductively connected to a nickel network 8, for example by spot welding.
- a thin anode 10 adjoins this nickel mesh 8.
- the anode 10 bears against a solid electrolyte 12.
- This electrolyte 12 is delimited at the top by a cathode 14 in the form of a thin, electrically conductive, in particular ceramic, layer.
- a ceramic contact layer 16 connects to the cathode 14. This contact layer 16 serves to compensate for unevenness in the production of the metallic and ceramic components.
- the contact layer 16 consists of a number of individual parallel webs which have a width of, for example, 1 mm and a thickness of, for example, 80 ⁇ m. As is immediately clear, the formation of the webs is provided due to the geometry of the high-temperature fuel cell.
- a further bipolar plate 18 is connected to the ceramic contact layer 16 via a ceramic protective layer 22.
- This has a number of operating device channels 20 which run parallel to one another and perpendicular to the paper plane. They carry oxygen or air during operation.
- the protective layer 22 completely lines the channels 20.
- the protective layer 22 is first applied to the channel side of the bipolar plate 18 in a vacuum plasma spraying process.
- the contact layer 16 is then applied to the webs between the channels 20 on the contact layer 22 using the screen printing method. It also contains a pore former. Alternatively, the contact layer 16 can also be applied to the cathode 14 using the screen printing method in the form of webs or strips.
- Figure 2 largely corresponds to that of Figure 1, so that it is sufficient to the differences explain.
- a protective layer 22 is applied to the channel side of the bipolar plate 18.
- the contact layer 16 is applied in a cold spraying process.
- the contact layer 16 thus completely lines the channels 20.
- the cathode 14 is in electrical contact with the webs of the contact layer 16.
