Definitions
- the present invention relates to a substrate with an electrode layer for a metal-supported electrochemical device having a metal support and an electrode layer.
- an anode electrode layer is formed on a porous metal support obtained by sintering Fe—Cr alloy powder, and an electrolyte is formed thereon. Layers are formed to obtain SOFC.
- Non-Patent Document 1 in order to form a zirconia-based electrolyte in a low temperature range, it was necessary to prepare an anode electrode layer fired at a high temperature of 1300 ° C. For this reason, damage to the metal support is unavoidable, and an expensive LST (LaSrTiO 3 ) diffusion prevention layer for preventing diffusion of elements that poison the cell from the metal support is provided by firing at 1200 ° C. There was a need, and there were problems in terms of performance, reliability and durability, as well as cost.
- LST LaSrTiO 3
- the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an electrochemical device that is excellent in performance, reliability, and durability and is low in cost.
- the characteristic configuration of the substrate with an electrode layer for a metal-supported electrochemical device for achieving the above object includes a metal support and an electrode layer formed on the metal support,
- the surface roughness (Ra) has a region having a thickness of 1.0 ⁇ m or less.
- an electrochemical layer having an electrode layer and an electrolyte layer on a metal support can be obtained without providing an expensive LST diffusion prevention layer without forming an expensive LST diffusion prevention layer. It becomes possible to form.
- the electrolyte layer is a thin film, if the surface of the electrode layer has a high degree of smoothness, the electrolyte layer can be kept uniform, so that an electrochemical device excellent in performance, reliability, and durability is formed. be able to.
- the electrode layer surface has a high degree of smoothness (the surface of the electrode layer has little unevenness), there are few gaps between the electrode layer and the electrolyte layer, good adhesion, and excellent performance, reliability, and durability.
- a chemical element can be constructed.

Abstract
Description
以下、図1を参照しながら、本実施形態に係る電気化学素子Eおよび固体酸化物形燃料電池(Solid Oxide Fuel Cell:SOFC)について説明する。電気化学素子Eは、例えば、水素を含む燃料ガスと空気の供給を受けて発電する固体酸化物形燃料電池の構成要素として用いられる。なお以下、層の位置関係などを表す際、例えば電解質層4から見て対極電極層6の側を「上」または「上側」、電極層2の側を「下」または「下側」という場合がある。また、金属基板1における電極層2が形成されている側の面を「表側」、反対側の面を「裏側」という場合がある。
電気化学素子Eは、図1に示される通り、金属基板1(金属支持体)と、金属基板1の上に形成された電極層2と、電極層2の上に形成された中間層3と、中間層3の上に形成された電解質層4とを有する。そして電気化学素子Eは、更に、電解質層4の上に形成された反応防止層5と、反応防止層5の上に形成された対極電極層6とを有する。つまり対極電極層6は電解質層4の上に形成され、反応防止層5は電解質層4と対極電極層6との間に形成されている。電極層2は多孔質であり、電解質層4は緻密である。
本実施形態では、金属支持型電気化学素子用の電極層付基板Bが、金属基板1(金属支持体)と、金属基板1の上に形成された電極層2と、電極層2の上に形成された中間層3とを有して構成される。つまり本実施形態では電気化学素子Eは、電極層付基板Bと、電解質層4と、反応防止層5と、対極電極層6とを有して構成される。
金属基板1は、電極層2、中間層3および電解質層4等を支持して電気化学素子Eの強度を保つ、支持体としての役割を担う。金属基板1の材料としては、電子伝導性、耐熱性、耐酸化性および耐腐食性に優れた材料が用いられる。例えば、フェライト系ステンレス、オーステナイト系ステンレス、ニッケル基合金などが用いられる。特に、クロムを含む合金が好適に用いられる。なお本実施形態では、金属支持体として板状の金属基板1が用いられるが、金属支持体としては他の形状、例えば箱状、円筒状などの形状も可能である。
なお、金属基板1は、支持体として電気化学素子を形成するのに充分な強度を有すれば良く、例えば、0.1mm~2mm程度、好ましくは0.1mm~1mm程度、より好ましくは0.1mm~0.5mm程度の厚みのものを用いることができる。

金属酸化物層1bは種々の手法により形成されうるが、金属基板1の表面を酸化させて金属酸化物とする手法が好適に利用される。また、金属基板1の表面に、金属酸化物層1bをスパッタリング法やPLD法等のPVD法、CVD法、スプレーコーティング法(溶射法やエアロゾルデポジション法、エアロゾルガスデポジッション法、パウダージェットデポジッション法、パーティクルジェットデポジション法、コールドスプレー法などの方法)などにより形成しても良いし、メッキと酸化処理によって形成しても良い。更に、金属酸化物層1bは導電性の高いスピネル相などを含んでも良い。
電極層2は、図1に示すように、金属基板1の表側の面であって貫通孔1aが設けられた領域より大きな領域に、薄層の状態で設けることができる。薄層とする場合は、その厚さを、例えば、1μm~100μm程度、好ましくは、5μm~50μmとすることができる。このような厚さにすると、高価な電極層材料の使用量を低減してコストダウンを図りつつ、十分な電極性能を確保することが可能となる。貫通孔1aが設けられた領域の全体が、電極層2に覆われている。つまり、貫通孔1aは金属基板1における電極層2が形成された領域の内側に形成されている。換言すれば、全ての貫通孔1aが電極層2に面して設けられている。
すなわち電極層2は、多孔質な層として形成される。電極層2は、例えば、その緻密度が30%以上80%未満となるように形成される。細孔のサイズは、電気化学反応を行う際に円滑な反応が進行するのに適したサイズを適宜選ぶことができる。なお緻密度とは、層を構成する材料の空間に占める割合であって、(1-空孔率)と表すことができ、また、相対密度と同等である。
中間層3は、図1に示すように、電極層2を覆った状態で、電極層2の上に薄層の状態で形成することができる。薄層とする場合は、その厚さを、例えば、1μm~100μm程度、好ましくは2μm~50μm程度、より好ましくは4μm~25μm程度とすることができる。このような厚さにすると、高価な中間層材料の使用量を低減してコストダウンを図りつつ、十分な性能を確保することが可能となる。中間層3の材料としては、例えば、YSZ(イットリア安定化ジルコニア)、SSZ(スカンジウム安定化ジルコニア)やGDC(ガドリウム・ドープ・セリア)、YDC(イットリウム・ドープ・セリア)、SDC(サマリウム・ドープ・セリア)等を用いることができる。特にセリア系のセラミックスが好適に用いられる。
本実施形態では中間層3は、表面粗さ(Ra)が1.0μm以下である領域を有する。当該領域は、中間層3の表面全体でもよいし、一部の領域でもよい。中間層3が、表面粗さ(Ra)が1.0μm以下である領域を有することにより、中間層3と電解質層4の密着性が良好な、性能・信頼性・耐久性に優れた電気化学素子Eを構成することができる。また、電解質層4が薄膜の場合であっても、電解質層4を均一に保つことができるため、性能・信頼性・耐久性に優れた電気化学素子を構成することができる。なお、中間層3は、表面粗さ(Ra)が0.5μm以下である領域を有するとより好ましく、0.3μm以下である領域を有すると更に好ましい。これは中間層3の表面粗さの平滑性が高くなる程、上述の効果に優れた電気化学素子Eを構成できるためである。
電解質層4は、図1に示すように、電極層2および中間層3を覆った状態で、中間層3の上に薄層の状態で形成される。また、厚さが10μm以下の薄膜の状態で形成することもできる。詳しくは電解質層4は、図1に示すように、中間層3の上と金属基板1の上とにわたって(跨って)設けられる。このように構成し、電解質層4を金属基板1に接合することで、電気化学素子全体として堅牢性に優れたものとすることができる。
反応防止層5は、電解質層4の上に薄層の状態で形成することができる。薄層とする場合は、その厚さを、例えば、1μm~100μm程度、好ましくは2μm~50μm程度、より好ましくは4μm~25μm程度とすることができる。このような厚さにすると、高価な反応防止層材料の使用量を低減してコストダウンを図りつつ、十分な性能を確保することが可能となる。反応防止層5の材料としては、電解質層4の成分と対極電極層6の成分との間の反応を防止できる材料であれば良い。例えばセリア系材料等が用いられる。反応防止層5を電解質層4と対極電極層6との間に導入することにより、対極電極層6の構成材料と電解質層4の構成材料との反応が効果的に抑制され、電気化学素子Eの性能の長期安定性を向上できる。反応防止層5の形成は、1100℃以下の処理温度で形成できる方法を適宜用いて行うと、金属基板1の損傷を抑制し、また、金属基板1と電極層2との元素相互拡散を抑制でき、性能・耐久性に優れた電気化学素子Eを実現できるので好ましい。例えば、低温焼成法(例えば1100℃を越える高温域での焼成処理をしない低温域での焼成処理を用いる湿式法)、スプレーコーティング法(溶射法やエアロゾルデポジション法、エアロゾルガスデポジッション法、パウダージェットデポジッション法、パーティクルジェットデポジション法、コールドスプレー法などの方法)、PVD法(スパッタリング法、パルスレーザーデポジション法など)、CVD法などを適宜用いて行うことができる。特に、低温焼成法やスプレーコーティング法などを用いると低コストな素子が実現できるので好ましい。更に、低温焼成法を用いると、原材料のハンドリングが容易になるので更に好ましい。
対極電極層6は、電解質層4もしくは反応防止層5の上に薄層の状態で形成することができる。薄層とする場合は、その厚さを、例えば、1μm~100μm程度、好ましくは、5μm~50μmとすることができる。このような厚さにすると、高価な対極電極層材料の使用量を低減してコストダウンを図りつつ、十分な電極性能を確保することが可能となる。対極電極層6の材料としては、例えば、LSCF、LSM等の複合酸化物を用いることができる。以上の材料を用いて構成される対極電極層6は、カソードとして機能する。
以上のように電気化学素子Eを構成することで、電気化学素子Eを固体酸化物形燃料電池の発電セルとして用いることができる。例えば、金属基板1の裏側の面から貫通孔1aを通じて水素を含む燃料ガスを電極層2へ供給し、電極層2の対極となる対極電極層6へ空気を供給し、例えば、600℃以上850℃以下の温度で作動させる。そうすると、対極電極層6において空気に含まれる酸素O2が電子e-と反応して酸素イオンO2-が生成される。その酸素イオンO2-が電解質層4を通って電極層2へ移動する。電極層2においては、供給された燃料ガスに含まれる水素H2が酸素イオンO2-と反応し、水H2Oと電子e-が生成される。以上の反応により、電極層2と対極電極層6との間に起電力が発生する。この場合、電極層2はSOFCの燃料極(アノード)として機能し、対極電極層6は空気極(カソード)として機能する。
次に、本実施形態に係る電気化学素子Eの製造方法について説明する。
電極層形成ステップでは、金属基板1の表側の面の貫通孔1aが設けられた領域より広い領域に電極層2が薄膜の状態で形成される。金属基板1の貫通孔はレーザー加工等によって設けることができる。電極層2の形成は、上述したように、低温焼成法(1100℃以下の低温域での焼成処理を行う湿式法)、スプレーコーティング法(溶射法やエアロゾルデポジション法、エアロゾルガスデポジッション法、パウダージェットデポジッション法、パーティクルジェットデポジション法、コールドスプレー法などの方法)、PVD法(スパッタリング法、パルスレーザーデポジション法など)、CVD法などの方法を用いることができる。いずれの方法を用いる場合であっても、金属基板1の劣化を抑制するため、1100℃以下の温度で行うことが望ましい。
なお、中間層を有する電気化学素子を形成する場合では、電極層平滑化工程や電極層焼成工程を省いたり、電極層平滑化工程や電極層焼成工程を後述する中間層平滑化工程や中間層焼成工程に含めることもできる。
なお、電極層平滑化工程は、ラップ成形やレベリング処理、表面の切削・研磨処理などを施すことによって行うことでもできる。
上述した電極層形成ステップにおける焼成工程時に、金属基板1の表面に金属酸化物層1b(拡散抑制層)が形成される。なお、上記焼成工程に、焼成雰囲気を酸素分圧が低い雰囲気条件とする焼成工程が含まれていると元素の相互拡散抑制効果が高く、抵抗値の低い良質な金属酸化物層1b(拡散抑制層)が形成されるので好ましい。電極層形成ステップを、焼成を行わないコーティング方法とする場合を含め、別途の拡散抑制層形成ステップを含めても良い。いずれにおいても、金属基板1の損傷を抑制可能な1100℃以下の処理温度で実施することが望ましい。また、後述する中間層形成ステップにおける焼成工程時に、金属基板1の表面に金属酸化物層1b(拡散抑制層)が形成されても良い。
中間層形成ステップでは、電極層2を覆う形態で、電極層2の上に中間層3が薄層の状態で形成される。中間層3の形成は、上述したように、低温焼成法(1100℃以下の低温域での焼成処理を行う湿式法)、スプレーコーティング法(溶射法やエアロゾルデポジション法、エアロゾルガスデポジッション法、パウダージェットデポジッション法、パーティクルジェットデポジション法、コールドスプレー法などの方法)、PVD法(スパッタリング法、パルスレーザーデポジション法など)、CVD法などの方法を用いることができる。いずれの方法を用いる場合であっても、金属基板1の劣化を抑制するため、1100℃以下の温度で行うことが望ましい。
なお、中間層平滑化工程は、ラップ成形やレベリング処理、表面の切削・研磨処理などを施すことによって行うことでもできる。
電解質層形成ステップでは、電極層2および中間層3を覆った状態で、電解質層4が中間層3の上に薄層の状態で形成される。また、厚さが10μm以下の薄膜の状態で形成されても良い。電解質層4の形成は、上述したように、低温焼成法(1100℃以下の低温域での焼成処理を行う湿式法)、スプレーコーティング法(溶射法やエアロゾルデポジション法、エアロゾルガスデポジッション法、パウダージェットデポジッション法、パーティクルジェットデポジション法、コールドスプレー法などの方法)、PVD法(スパッタリング法、パルスレーザーデポジション法など)、CVD法などの方法を用いることができる。いずれの方法を用いる場合であっても、金属基板1の劣化を抑制するため、1100℃以下の温度で行うことが望ましい。
反応防止層形成ステップでは、反応防止層5が電解質層4の上に薄層の状態で形成される。反応防止層5の形成は、上述したように、低温焼成法、スプレーコーティング法(溶射法やエアロゾルデポジション法、エアロゾルガスデポジッション法、パウダージェットデポジッション法、パーティクルジェットデポジション法、コールドスプレー法などの方法)、PVD法(スパッタリング法、パルスレーザーデポジション法など)、CVD法などの方法を用いることができる。いずれの方法を用いる場合であっても、金属基板1の劣化を抑制するため、1100℃以下の温度で行うことが望ましい。なお反応防止層5の上側の面を平坦にするために、例えば反応防止層5の形成後にレベリング処理や表面を切削・研磨処理を施したり、湿式形成後焼成前に、プレス加工を施してもよい。
対極電極層形成ステップでは、対極電極層6が反応防止層5の上に薄層の状態で形成される。対極電極層6の形成は、上述したように、低温焼成法、スプレーコーティング法(溶射法やエアロゾルデポジション法、エアロゾルガスデポジッション法、パウダージェットデポジッション法、パーティクルジェットデポジション法、コールドスプレー法などの方法)、PVD法(スパッタリング法、パルスレーザーデポジション法など)、CVD法などの方法を用いることができる。いずれの方法を用いる場合であっても、金属基板1の劣化を抑制するため、1100℃以下の温度で行うことが望ましい。
厚さ0.3mm、直径25mmの円形のcrofer22APUの金属板に対して、中心から半径2.5mmの領域にレーザー加工により貫通孔1aを複数設けて、金属基板1を作製した。なお、この時、金属基板1の表面の貫通孔1aはレーザー加工により設けた。
以上の結果から、中間層3の表面粗さ(Ra)を1.0μm以下とすることで、良好な金属支持型電気化学素子用の電極層付基板とすることができることが示された。
本実施形態に係る電気化学素子Eは、中間層3を備えない形態、すなわち電極層2と電解質層4とが接触して形成される形態とされる。したがって電気化学素子Eの製造方法では、中間層形成ステップが省略される。
本実施形態では、金属支持型電気化学素子用の電極層付基板Bが、金属基板1(金属支持体)と、金属基板1の上に形成された電極層2とを有して構成される。つまり本実施形態では電気化学素子Eは、電極層付基板Bと、電解質層4と、反応防止層5と、対極電極層6とを有して構成される。
次に、本実施形態に係る電気化学素子Eの製造方法について説明する。本実施形態に係る電気化学素子Eは中間層3を有さない。したがって本実施形態に係る電気化学素子Eの製造法では、電極層形成ステップ(拡散抑制層形成ステップ)、電解質層形成ステップ、反応防止層形成ステップ、対極電極層形成ステップが、順に行われる。
電極層形成ステップでは、金属基板1の表側の面の貫通孔1aが設けられた領域より広い領域に電極層2が薄膜の状態で形成される。金属基板1の貫通孔はレーザー加工等によって設けることができる。電極層2の形成は、上述したように、低温焼成法(1100℃以下の低温域での焼成処理を行う湿式法)、スプレーコーティング法(溶射法やエアロゾルデポジション法、エアロゾルガスデポジッション法、パウダージェットデポジッション法、パーティクルジェットデポジション法、コールドスプレー法などの方法)、PVD法(スパッタリング法、パルスレーザーデポジション法など)、CVD法などの方法を用いることができる。いずれの方法を用いる場合であっても、金属基板1の劣化を抑制するため、1100℃以下の温度で行うことが望ましい。
なお、電極層平滑化工程は、ラップ成形やレベリング処理、表面の切削・研磨処理などを施すことによって行うことでもできる。
厚さ0.3mm、直径25mmの円形のcrofer22APUの金属板に対して、中心から半径2.5mmの領域にレーザー加工により貫通孔1aを複数設けて、金属基板1を作製した。なお、この時、金属基板1の表面の貫通孔1aはレーザー加工により設けた。
以上の結果から、電極層2の表面粗さ(Ra)を1.0μm以下とすることで、良好な金属支持型電気化学素子用の電極層付基板とすることができることが示された。
