MS-SOFC Cell-Stack Fabrication and Structural Evaluation Toward Practical Implementation
MS-SOFC Cell-Stack Fabrication and Structural Evaluation Toward Practical Implementation
Conventional metal-supported solid-oxide fuel cell (MS-SOFC) research has remained at the single-cell stage, leaving the stack-level — multi-cell, multi-layer — challenges of mechanical and electrochemical integration largely open. This project builds on the applicant's master-level work on co-sintered MS-SOFC fabrication and extends it to the cell-stack level: stack-architecture design, structural evaluation under operational thermal and redox cycling, and reliability assessment under wet-oxidizing and reducing atmospheres. The work targets compact, durable distributed-power and portable-power applications and provides the manufacturing-process knowledge required for industrial implementation of next-generation SOFC technology.
