    Abstract: An embodiment of a method includes depositing a quantity of first intermediary material onto an electrically insulating substrate in a pattern corresponding to a desired pattern of a first conductive structure. The first intermediary material is adhered to the substrate to form a first intermediate layer to maintain the desired pattern of the first conductive structure. A quantity of a precursor of electrically conductive material is deposited generally along the pattern of the first intermediate layer. Energy is applied to enable migration and consolidation of the first electrically conductive material along the pattern of the first intermediate layer, forming a functional, electrically conductive top layer. At least one of the first electrically conductive material and its precursor has a wetting angle of less than 90° relative to the first intermediate layer, and a wetting angle greater than 90° relative to the substrate. At least one of the depositing steps is an additive deposition step.

    Abstract: A solid oxide fuel cell or solid oxide electrolyzer includes a plurality of fuel cell layers stacked along a stacking axis. Each fuel cell layer including a stacked arrangement of elements including a cathode, an anode, an electrolyte located between the anode and the cathode, a support layer positioned at the anode opposite the electrolyte, and a separator plate located at the support layer opposite the anode. The separator plate is configured to contact the cathode of an adjacent fuel cell layer of the plurality of fuel cell layers. The separator plate defines a plurality of anode flow channels configured to deliver a fuel therethrough and a plurality of cathode flow channels configured to deliver an air flow therethrough. The separator plate is formed from a bulk metallic glass material.

    Abstract: A method of forming a part includes forming a glass-ceramic matrix composite material to form a pre-consolidated feedstock sheet with a pre-determined shape. The pre-consolidated feedstock sheet is sectioned into a first piece of pre-consolidated feedstock sheet and a second piece of pre-consolidated feedstock sheet. The first piece of pre-consolidated feedstock sheet and a second piece of pre-consolidated feedstock sheet are assembled with a second piece of pre-consolidated feedstock sheet to form a composite layup. The first piece of pre-consolidated feedstock sheet and the second piece of pre-consolidated feedstock sheet are joined by compressing the composite layup to form a glass-ceramic matrix composite part.
