【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は平板積層型の固体電解質型燃料電池及びその製造方法に係り、特に、ZrO2 系固体電解質を介して燃料極と空気極とを配置してなる平板型セルと、MgO及びMgAl2 O4 を主成分とするガスセパレータとを交互に積層してなる平板積層型の固体電解質型燃料電池及びその製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
平板積層型の固体電解質型燃料電池は、図1に示すようにセル5、集電板2,4及びガスセパレータ3を交互に積層した構造である。この固体電解質型燃料電池1の繰り返し最小ユニットは、図2に示す通りであり、セル5は、ZrO2 系セラミックスよりなる電解質5aと、その両面に設けられた電極5b又は電極を厚くした構造の集電体とで構成されている。電極5bは電解質5aの全面を覆わず、セル5の周縁部は電解質5a部分が露出した構造である。電極5bのうち、燃料ガス側の電極は、NiとZrO2 系セラミックスとのサーメットで構成され、また、空気側の電極はランタン及びマンガンを主成分とするペロブスカイト構造のセラミックスで構成されている。
【0003】
一方、ガスセパレータ3は、MgO及びMgAl2 O4 を主成分とするセパレータ本体6、積層用枠体7及びガス流通用枠体8と、セパレータ本体6に対し接合されたランタンクロマイト製電子流路材9とで構成されている。積層用枠体7は細帯形状のものである。ガス流通用枠体8は、細帯形状部8aに対し円盤形状部8bを接合したものである。
【0004】
固体電解質型燃料電池1の作動に当り、ガスは、ガスセパレータ3のガス流通用枠体8を通りセル5の全面に供給されるが、その際、ガスセパレータ3の側面のガスシール枠体7からのガス漏れを防ぐ必要がある。このガス漏れ防止のための、ガスセパレータ3のガスシール枠体7とセル5の周縁部とのガスシール法として、従来、セル5(周縁の電解質5の露出面)とガスセパレータ3(ガスシール枠体7)との間に、ガラスを主成分とする接合材料を介在させ、発電時の約1000℃の高温下でガラスを溶融させることによりガスシールを達成していた。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
セル5とガスセパレータ3とをガラス系材料で接着してガスシールする場合、以下のような問題点がある。
【0006】
▲1▼ 高い接着強度が得られず、このため、固体電解質型燃料電池の積層構造が崩れないようにある程度の強さで常に電池を拘束する必要がある。
▲2▼ ガラス材料は、1000℃の長期使用において、成分が蒸発したり、非晶質から結晶質に変化したりして、材料の変質が生じ、安定した特性が得られない。
▲3▼ 数回のヒートサイクルに曝されると、十分なガスシール性を保つことができなくなる。
【0007】
本発明は、上記従来の問題点を解決し、固体電解質型燃料電池を構成するセルと、MgO及びMgAl2 O4 を主成分とするガスセパレータとを、強固に接合し、約1000℃の長期使用においても安定したガスシール性と耐ヒートサイクル性を有する固体電解質型燃料電池及びこのような固体電解質型燃料電池を製造する方法を提供することを目的とする。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の固体電解質型燃料電池は、ZrO2系固体電解質を介して燃料極と空気極とを配置してなる平板型セルと、MgO及びMgAl2O4を主成分とするガスセパレータとを交互に積層してなる固体電解質型燃料電池において、前記セルの固体電解質とガスセパレータとは、MgO、MgAl2O4及びZrO2を主成分とする接合材層を介して接合されていることを特徴とする。
【0009】
このような固体電解質型燃料電池は、本発明の方法に従って、接合材粉末を含むスラリーをガスセパレータ及びセルの被接合面に塗布してガスセパレータとセルとを重ね合せ、加圧下、焼成することにより、或いは、ガスセパレータ及びセルの被接合面間に接合材のグリーンシートを介してガスセパレータとセルとを重ね合せ、加圧下、焼成することにより製造される。
【0010】
本発明においては、接合時の焼成中に、ガスセパレータとセルの被接合面間のスラリー又はグリーンシートに含まれているセラミックス粉末の焼結が進み、セルとガスセパレータとを強固に接着すると共に、接合層自身も緻密になり、セルとガスセパレータとはこの緻密な接合層を介して強固に接合される。
【0011】
本発明では、セルとガスセパレータとを接合する接合層は元々高温において安定なセラミックス材料よりなるため、ガラス材料のような燃料電池運転中の変質は生じにくい。しかも、このセラミックス材料には、セルの電解質構成材料であるZrO2 とガスセパレータの構成材料であるMgO及びMgAl2 O4 を含んでいるため、セル及びガスセパレータの両方に対して良好な親和性を有しており、接合部の熱膨張係数は、セル及びガスセパレータの熱膨張係数とも良く一致する。
【0012】
以上の効果により、高い接合強度とガスシール性、更に耐ヒートサイクル性にも優れた固体電解質型燃料電池を提供できる。
【0013】
なお、本発明において、接合材は、MgO20〜40重量%、MgAl2 O4 25〜55重量%及びZrO2 5〜50重量%を含むことが好ましく、また、場合により、CaO0.2〜20重量%及び/又はY2 O3 0.5〜15重量%を含んでいても良い。
【0014】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に本発明を詳細に説明する。

【0016】
接合材のMgO、MgAl2 O4 及びZrO2 組成は、MgO及びMgAl2 O4 を主成分とするガスセパレータ及びZrO2 系電解質に対する熱膨張係数を適正にすると共に、良好な親和性を得るために上記範囲とするのが好ましい。
【0017】
更に、CaO0.2〜20重量%を含有する場合には、接合材の焼結を促進する効果が得られ、また、Y2 O3 を含有する場合にも同様の効果が得られる。
【0018】
このような接合材でガスセパレータとセルとを接合するには、例えば、粒径数μm以下の、MgO、MgAl2 O4 及びZrO2 の各粉末、場合により更に、CaO及び/又はY2 O3 粉末を所定割合で混合し、得られたセラミックス混合粉末に、ポリビニルブチラール等の結合剤、ジブチルフタレート等の可塑剤、ノニオン系界面活性剤等の分散剤、エタノール等の溶媒等を添加して、例えば、下記配合のスラリーとしたものを、被接合面にスプレー等により乾燥後の塗布量で0.01〜0.1g/cm2 となるように塗布して被接合面同志を当接し、その後乾燥した後、0.1〜0.5kg/cm2 程度の加圧下、1200〜1500℃の温度で焼成する。
【0019】
接合用スラリー配合
セラミックス混合粉末:100重量部
結合剤:5〜20重量部
可塑剤:5〜20重量部
分散剤:0.5〜3重量部
溶 媒:100〜200ml
或いは、上記接合用スラリーを、ドクターブレード装置等で厚さ数十〜数百μmのシートに成形したグリーンシートを用い、このグリーンシートを被接合面間に介在させて、上記と同様に加圧下焼成することにより製造することもできる。
【0020】
なお、本発明において、接合されるガスセパレータの枠体は、MgO及びMgAl2 O4 を主成分とするセラミックス焼成体よりなるが、具体的なセラミックス組成は次の通りである。
【0021】
スピネル系セラミックス焼成体組成(重量%)
MgO:42
MgAl2 O4 :58
また、セルの電解質を構成するZrO2 系セラミックスは、通常、Y2 O3 安定化ZrO2 (YSZ)であり、例えば、次のような組成が主に採用される。
【0022】
YSZ焼結体組成(mol%)

【実施例】
以下に実施例を挙げて本発明をより具体的に説明する。
【0024】
実施例1
粒径5μm以下のMgO、MgAl2 O4 及びZrO2 の各粉末、場合により更にCaO、Y2 O3 の粉末を表1の割合で秤量し、この粉末100gに対して、バインダー(ポリビニルブチラール)12g、可塑剤(ジブチルフタレート)10g、分散剤(ノニオン系界面活性剤)0.5gを溶媒(トルエン/エタノール)100mlに溶かした溶液と該粉末とを十分混練してスラリー化した。この接合用スラリーを、MgO−MgAl2 O4 系セラミックス焼結体製ガスセパレータ枠体(組成:MgO:42重量%,MgAl2 O4 :58%)とセルのYSZ焼結体製電解質(組成:ZrO2 =92mol%,Y2 O3 =8mol%)の各々の被接合面に刷毛塗りし(乾燥後の塗布量0.02g/cm2 )、図2に示す如く、各部材を貼り合せ、乾燥後、0.3kg/cm2 の加圧下、1400℃の温度で1時間焼成して接合を行った。
【0025】
得られた接合体を接合部を含むように切断して4点曲げ試験を行って、接合部の強度を調べたところ、本発明の組成範囲内のものは、いずれも表1に示す如く、高い接合強度が得られたことが確認された。
【0026】
また、各接合部のガスシール性能を調べたところ、表1に示す如く、本発明の組成範囲内のものは、実用上十分な性能が得られた。
【0027】
更に、本発明組成の接合材を用いた接合体について、燃料電池作動温度の1000℃に4回曝したが、強度の低下及びガス透過量の増加はなく、耐ヒートサイクル性にも優れた良好な接合体であることが確認された。
【0028】
なお、No. 6〜9は本発明の好適組成をはずれるものであるが、No. 7の条件では、接合が不可能であり、No. 6,8,9の条件では、接合強度及びガス透過量がかなり劣るものであった。
【0029】
【表1】
【0030】
【発明の効果】
以上詳述した通り、本発明の固体電解質型燃料電池及びその製造方法によれば、セルと、MgO及びMgAl2 O4 を主成分とするガスセパレータとを強固に接合して、約1000℃の長期使用においても安定したガスシール性と耐ヒートサイクル性を有する固体電解質型燃料電池を提供することができる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a flat plate type solid electrolyte fuel cell and a method of manufacturing the same, and more particularly, to a flat plate type cell in which a fuel electrode and an air electrode are arranged via a ZrO 2 -based solid electrolyte, and MgO and MgAl 2 O The present invention relates to a flat-plate stacked solid oxide fuel cell obtained by alternately stacking gas separators containing 4 as a main component and a method of manufacturing the same.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
When the
[0006]
{Circle around (1)} A high adhesive strength cannot be obtained, and therefore, it is necessary to always restrain the cell with a certain strength so that the laminated structure of the solid oxide fuel cell does not collapse.
{Circle around (2)} When the glass material is used at 1000 ° C. for a long period of time, the components evaporate or change from amorphous to crystalline, resulting in deterioration of the material, and stable characteristics cannot be obtained.
{Circle around (3)} When exposed to several heat cycles, sufficient gas sealing properties cannot be maintained.
[0007]
The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and tightly joins a cell constituting a solid oxide fuel cell and a gas separator mainly composed of MgO and MgAl 2 O 4 to a long term of about 1000 ° C. An object of the present invention is to provide a solid oxide fuel cell having stable gas sealing properties and heat cycle resistance even in use, and a method for manufacturing such a solid oxide fuel cell.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The solid oxide fuel cell of the present invention alternates between a flat plate cell in which a fuel electrode and an air electrode are arranged via a ZrO 2 -based solid electrolyte, and a gas separator mainly composed of MgO and MgAl 2 O 4. Wherein the solid electrolyte and the gas separator of the cell are joined via a joining material layer mainly composed of MgO, MgAl 2 O 4 and ZrO 2. And
[0009]
According to the method of the present invention, such a solid oxide fuel cell is obtained by applying a slurry containing a bonding material powder to a surface to be bonded of a gas separator and a cell, stacking the gas separator and the cell, and firing under pressure. Alternatively, the gas separator and the cell are overlapped between the surfaces to be joined of the gas separator and the cell via a green sheet of a bonding material, and then fired under pressure.
[0010]
In the present invention, during firing at the time of joining, sintering of the ceramic powder contained in the slurry or green sheet between the gas separator and the surface to be joined of the cell proceeds, and the cell and the gas separator are firmly adhered. Also, the bonding layer itself becomes dense, and the cell and the gas separator are firmly bonded via this dense bonding layer.
[0011]
In the present invention, since the bonding layer for bonding the cell and the gas separator is originally made of a ceramic material that is stable at a high temperature, deterioration such as a glass material during operation of the fuel cell hardly occurs. In addition, since this ceramic material contains ZrO 2 which is an electrolyte constituent material of the cell and MgO and MgAl 2 O 4 which are constituent materials of the gas separator, it has a good affinity for both the cell and the gas separator. , And the thermal expansion coefficient of the joint part also matches well with the thermal expansion coefficients of the cell and the gas separator.
[0012]
By the above effects, it is possible to provide a solid oxide fuel cell excellent in high bonding strength, gas sealing property and heat cycle resistance.
[0013]
In the present invention, the bonding material, MgO20~40 wt%, preferably contains MgAl 2 O 4 25 to 55% by weight and ZrO 2 5 to 50 wt%, and optionally, CaO0.2~20 weight % and / or Y 2 O 3 may contain 0.5 to 15 wt%.
[0014]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
[0015]
In the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 ,
[0016]
The composition of MgO, MgAl 2 O 4 and ZrO 2 of the bonding material is to make the thermal expansion coefficient appropriate for the gas separator and the ZrO 2 based electrolyte containing MgO and MgAl 2 O 4 as main components and to obtain good affinity. It is preferable to set the above range.
[0017]
Furthermore, when CaO is contained in an amount of 0.2 to 20% by weight, the effect of accelerating the sintering of the joining material is obtained, and when Y 2 O 3 is contained, the same effect is obtained.
[0018]
In order to join the gas separator and the cell with such a joining material, for example, powders of MgO, MgAl 2 O 4 and ZrO 2 having a particle size of several μm or less, and optionally further CaO and / or Y 2 O 3 powders are mixed in a predetermined ratio, and a binder such as polyvinyl butyral, a plasticizer such as dibutyl phthalate, a dispersant such as a nonionic surfactant, a solvent such as ethanol are added to the obtained ceramic mixed powder. For example, a slurry having the following composition is applied to the surfaces to be joined by spraying or the like so that the coating amount after drying is 0.01 to 0.1 g / cm 2, and the surfaces to be joined are brought into contact with each other, Then, after drying, baking is performed at a temperature of 1200 to 1500 ° C. under a pressure of about 0.1 to 0.5 kg / cm 2 .
[0019]
Mixing of slurry for joining Ceramic mixed powder: 100 parts by weight Binder: 5 to 20 parts by weight Plasticizer: 5 to 20 parts by weight Dispersant: 0.5 to 3 parts by weight Solvent: 100 to 200 ml
Alternatively, a green sheet obtained by forming the bonding slurry into a sheet having a thickness of several tens to several hundreds μm by a doctor blade device or the like is used, and the green sheet is interposed between the surfaces to be bonded, and is pressed under the same pressure as described above. It can also be manufactured by firing.
[0020]
In the present invention, the frame body of the gas separator to be joined is made of a fired ceramic body containing MgO and MgAl 2 O 4 as main components. The specific ceramic composition is as follows.
[0021]
Composition of sintered body of spinel ceramics (% by weight)
MgO: 42
MgAl 2 O 4 : 58
The ZrO 2 -based ceramic constituting the electrolyte of the cell is usually Y 2 O 3 -stabilized ZrO 2 (YSZ). For example, the following composition is mainly employed.
[0022]
YSZ sintered body composition (mol%)
ZrO 2 : 92
Y 2 O 3 : 8
[0023]
【Example】
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to examples.
[0024]
Example 1
Powders of MgO, MgAl 2 O 4 and ZrO 2 having a particle size of 5 μm or less, and optionally powders of CaO and Y 2 O 3 were weighed at the ratio shown in Table 1, and 100 g of this powder was weighed with respect to a binder (polyvinyl butyral). A solution in which 12 g, 10 g of a plasticizer (dibutyl phthalate), and 0.5 g of a dispersant (nonionic surfactant) were dissolved in 100 ml of a solvent (toluene / ethanol) was sufficiently kneaded with the powder to form a slurry. This joining slurry is mixed with a gas separator frame (composition: MgO: 42% by weight, MgAl 2 O 4 : 58%) made of a MgO—MgAl 2 O 4 ceramic sintered body and a YSZ sintered body electrolyte (composition) of a cell. : ZrO 2 = 92 mol%, Y 2 O 3 = 8 mol%) on each surface to be joined with a brush (application amount after drying 0.02 g / cm 2 ), and as shown in FIG. After drying, firing was performed at a temperature of 1400 ° C. for 1 hour under a pressure of 0.3 kg / cm 2 to perform bonding.
[0025]
The obtained joined body was cut so as to include the joined portion, and a four-point bending test was performed to check the strength of the joined portion. It was confirmed that high joining strength was obtained.
[0026]
In addition, when the gas sealing performance of each joint was examined, as shown in Table 1, those having a composition within the range of the present invention exhibited sufficient performance for practical use.
[0027]
