HTc' anode-supported electrolyte fuel cells	Scanning electron microscope cell view

HTceramix provides anode-supported thin-film electrolyte cells produced in its pilot production line in Trento. The CASE (cathode anode-supported electrolyte) is composed of an electrolyte (YSZ, 10µm) sandwiched between two electrodes, a perovskite porous cathode (LSM or LSF/LSC, 40µm) and the anode suport strucuture (NiO, YSZ, 215µm). Good mechanical stability is provided by the relatively dense anode structure; the thin anode hardly shows any gas diffusion limitation. Precise wet ceramic processing enables efficient use of raw materials and also increases  the compactness of the stack. Cells are produced by anode and electrolyte co-casting and co-sintering followed by screen-printing of the cathode layer.

HTc offers customers complete cells with cathode, anode and electrolyte (CASE) as well as anode-supported electrolytes (ASE) or simply anode support substrates (AS).
