Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a solid electrolytic fuel cell(SOFC) having high output power by degreasing, etching, and treating yttria stabilized zirconia(YSZ) to be catalyzer, and thereafter plating it with platinum by chemical plating. CONSTITUTION:YSZ is degreased by solvent like acetone, etched by strong acid like hydrogen fluoride or the like and, treated to be catalyzer by stannous chloride, palladium chloride or the like, and thereafter this is dipped in for instance plating solution being composed of chloroplatinum acid solution and hydrazine chloride solution so as to be plated with platinum. That is, when YSZ repeats generating and stopping power under such a condition as 1000 deg.C, plating platinum is easily flaked, therefore treatment to form catalyzer is performed prior to platinum plating treatment. Besides, platinum has high electronic conductivity and is not oxidised even in oxygen of 1000 deg.C. Thereby it is possible to obtain SOFC having tremendously increased generating current per unit area.

Cells used in S'OFC need to withstand conditions of 1000°C. At this time, the inventors' research has shown that power generation performance is improved by applying a thin layer of platinum plating to the oxygen gas electrode side of the YSz. While plating alone is sufficient, this treatment alone is not sufficient for ceramics such as YSz, so etching is also required. Moreover, YSZ used in the present invention is 1000
It is used under conditions of ℃, and if power generation and shutdown are repeated under these conditions, the platinum plating is likely to peel off. For this reason, catalytic treatment is further performed prior to platinum plating treatment.

It can be made as thin as 5 μm, and oxygen gas can easily reach the three-phase interface. Furthermore, platinum plating has fine pores and grain boundaries through which oxygen molecules can pass, and does not prevent oxygen from reaching the three-phase interface. In addition to being plated, it adheres to the solid electrolyte with a fine structure, and the true area of the three-phase interface is large, so that the reaction that converts oxygen to oxygen ions progresses easily.
