RECENT RESULTS OF STACK DEVELOPMENT AT FORSCHUNGSZENTRUM JUELICH

摘要

Since the mid-nineties several generations of SOFC stacks have been designed and tested incorporating the anode substrate-type cells developed in Juelich. The 6th generation, the so-called F-design stacks, with metallic interconnect has been the 'work horse' used for testing materials, cells and manufacturing processes in cell and stack development since its introduction in the year 2001. Stacks with up to 60 layers have been operated in recent years, delivering up to 13 kW of electric power. The ferritic parts are made of the commercial steel type CroFer22APU. This paper summarises the current developments at FZJ and presents some recent results obtained with new materials.
