Technical field
The invention belongs to field of solid oxide fuel, and in particular to a kind of SOFC metal connects
Connect device high temperature corrosion-resistant conductive ceramic coating material and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
In the face of the environmental problem for reducing and its bringing of fossil energy, develop efficient, energy-conservation, safe and environment-friendly energy system
System is just increasingly subject to pay attention to.Fuel cell is a kind of device that chemical energy is directly converted into electric energy by electrochemical reaction, tool
There are high efficient energy conversion, cleaning, low noise advantages.In various fuel cells, SOFC (SOFC)
With structure of whole solid state, without using noble metal catalyst and the extensive adaptability to pluralities of fuel gas the features such as, be considered as
It is very competitive electricity generation system, is suitable as scattered power station, cogeneration, traffic, space aerospace and other many
Field.
Cost is to restrict the business-like key factor of SOFC at present with the life-span.As SOFC keys portion
The connector of one of part, in terms of whole battery weight and cost control very important effect is played.Conventional SOFC connections

The problems such as processing is difficult to, the commercial operation of SOFC is this seriously inhibits.With the reduction of SOFC operating temperatures, metal material is opened
Begin to substitute ceramics as connector material.Metal material has high mechanical strength, good conductive and heat conductivility (metal body),
It is easy to be processed to thin plate simultaneously, thus the specific power of battery pile can be significantly increased, and low cost is extremely competitive
Connector material.(40,000h are not less than within the setting life-span of SOFC battery piles), it is anti-oxidant that metal connector must keep
Property and electric conductivity, this requires generated oxide-film thin and adhesiveness is good, and electrical conductivity is sufficiently high, and area specific resistance (ASR) is low
In 0.1 Ω cm2, the volatilization of chromium in oxide-film should also be sufficiently low.To meet above-mentioned requirements, there is researcher to pass through to change alloying component
Mode, design dedicated for SOFC metal connectors ferritic stainless steel, these stainless steels are with previously used typical case not
Rust steel compares C, S, P and Si with lower loading and higher Cr contents.Certainly solve only by optimized alloy composition
Certainly the problem difficulty of oxidisability, electric conductivity and chromium volatilization is larger, there is no method to meet the requirement of economic, practicalization so far.
Based on improving metal connector antioxygenic property and preventing the dual purpose of Cr volatilizations, need in metal connector table
Face applies special high temperature corrosion-resistant conductive ceramic coating.Different from traditional high-temperature protection coating, high temperature corrosion-resistant conductive ceramics are applied
Layer must have high electron conductivity and low ionic conductance, with the thermal coefficient of expansion close with adjacent fuel cell component
And chemical compatibility.
