Abstract:
A composite sealing material for a flat solid oxide fuel cell, and a method for preparing the composite sealing material are provided to improve the heat cycle stability without the deterioration of a stack by increasing the fracture toughness of glass. A composite sealing material for a flat solid oxide fuel cell comprises a glass matrix; and 5-50 vol% of an alpha-alumina fibrous reinforcing material which has an average crystal particle size of 0.2 micrometers or more and an aspect ratio of 10-100 and is contained in the glass matrix. Preferably the composite sealing material comprises further a granular alpha-alumina powder; and/or any one metal powder selected from silver(Ag), palladium(Pd), gold(Au), platinum(Pt), nickel(Ni), Fe-Ni alloy and molybdenum(Mo).
Abstract:
An equivalent large-area fuel cell is provided to produce a high output value equal to an ideal large-area unit cell through a constraint condition of a compressive sealant and a planar array of high-efficiency small-area unit cells. An equivalent large-area fuel cell includes: a first separator(11a) having a groove formed on the inner surface thereof; many first electrodes(33a) which are fitted in the groove of the first separator and are arrayed on a co-plane; many electrolytes(32a) which are placed on the many first electrodes, respectively; many second electrodes which are placed on the many electrolytes, respectively; a second separator(10a) which covers the many second electrodes; and a compressive sealant which is interposed between the first separator and the second separator and puts the two separators together.

Abstract:
Powder granules are prepared by preparing slurry by mixing powders, binding agent, and binding agent soluble solvent; dropping slurry to binding agent insoluble solvent; coagulating droplet by solvent exchange between the soluble and insoluble solvents; and separating the coagulated droplet from the insoluble solvent. The preparation of powder granules involves preparing slurry by mixing powders, binding agent, and binding agent soluble solvent; dropping slurry to binding agent insoluble solvent to fix the binding agent so that it can not be released to a surface of the droplet of the slurry; coagulating the droplet by solvent exchange between the soluble solvent inside the droplet and the insoluble solvent at the surface of the droplet; and separating the coagulated droplet from the insoluble solvent, drying it, and removing a residual solvent. An independent claim is also included for a method for shaping powder granules by liquid condensation comprising preparing the slurry; dropping the slurry to the binding agent insoluble solvent; coagulating the droplet; separating the coagulated droplet from the insoluble solvent; pressurizing the dried granules in a metal mold to fabricate a shaped body; and removing the binding agent by heating the shaped body.
