Description

本発明は、固体電解質型燃料電池の発電膜及びこれを備えた固体電解質型燃料電池、並びに固体電解質型燃料電池の発電膜の製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a power generation membrane for a solid oxide fuel cell, a solid electrolyte fuel cell including the power generation membrane, and a method for producing a power generation membrane for a solid oxide fuel cell.

固体電解質型燃料電池(SOFC)の一般的な構成としては、図1に示すものが知られている。
発電膜10は、固体電解質1とその両面に形成された燃料側電極2、空気側電極3から構成される。燃料側電極2側には電極接続用波板4、インターコネクタ6が形成され、空気側電極3側には電極接続用波板5、インターコネクタ7が形成されている。
As a general configuration of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), the one shown in FIG. 1 is known.
The power generation membrane 10 includes a solid electrolyte 1, a fuel side electrode 2 and an air side electrode 3 formed on both surfaces thereof. An electrode connecting corrugated plate 4 and an interconnector 6 are formed on the fuel side electrode 2 side, and an electrode connecting corrugated plate 5 and an interconnector 7 are formed on the air side electrode 3 side.

上記固体電解質1としては、イットリア安定化ジルコニア(YSZ)を用いることが提案されている。上記空気側電極3としては、優れた出力密度と高い耐久性が得られることから、組成式(La(1−x)SrMnOで表されるランタンストロンチウムマンガン酸化物(LSM)とYSZとのコンポジットが用いられる。上記燃料側電極2には、優れた電子伝導性、電極反応性、水素雰囲気中での安定性が必要とされる。燃料側電極2の材料としては、酸化ニッケル(NiO)及びYSZの混合物(NiO/YSZサーメット)が一般的に使用されている。 As the solid electrolyte 1, it has been proposed to use yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ). As the air side electrode 3, since excellent power density and high durability can be obtained, lanthanum strontium manganese oxide (LSM) represented by the composition formula (La (1-x) Sr x ) y MnO 3 and A composite with YSZ is used. The fuel side electrode 2 is required to have excellent electron conductivity, electrode reactivity, and stability in a hydrogen atmosphere. As a material for the fuel side electrode 2, a mixture of nickel oxide (NiO) and YSZ (NiO / YSZ cermet) is generally used.

固体電解質型燃料電池の運転温度は一般的には約1000℃であるが、より低温(例えば約800℃以下)で作動する固体電解質型燃料電池が求められている。しかしながら、従来の固体電解質型燃料電池では、固体電解質型燃料電池の運転温度を1000℃から800℃以下に低下させると燃料側電極の分極が大きくなり、発電性能が低下するという問題があった。従って、800℃程度の比較的低温で運転するためには、800℃でも充分作動する燃料側電極が必要とされていた。   The operating temperature of a solid oxide fuel cell is generally about 1000 ° C., but a solid oxide fuel cell that operates at a lower temperature (for example, about 800 ° C. or less) is desired. However, the conventional solid oxide fuel cell has a problem that when the operating temperature of the solid oxide fuel cell is lowered from 1000 ° C. to 800 ° C. or less, the polarization of the fuel-side electrode increases and the power generation performance decreases. Therefore, in order to operate at a relatively low temperature of about 800 ° C., a fuel side electrode that operates sufficiently even at 800 ° C. is required.

特許文献1には、固体電解質側で酸素イオン伝導度の高い材料であるYSZの割合が高く、固体電解質と反対側で電子伝導度の高い材料であるNiの割合が高く、電子伝導度の高い材料に対する(CeO0.8(SrO1.50.2あるいはPrOの割合が、固体電解質側で高くかつ固体電解質と反対側で低い積層構成を有する燃料側電極が開示されている。上記構成の燃料側電極を形成することにより、分極の発生を抑制し、固体電解質型燃料電池の発電能力を向上させている。
特許第3330198号公報
In Patent Document 1, the ratio of YSZ, which is a material having a high oxygen ion conductivity on the solid electrolyte side, is high, and the ratio of Ni, which is a material having a high electron conductivity, on the side opposite to the solid electrolyte is high. A fuel-side electrode having a stacked configuration in which the ratio of (CeO 2 ) 0.8 (SrO 1.5 ) 0.2 or PrO x to the material is high on the solid electrolyte side and low on the opposite side of the solid electrolyte is disclosed. . By forming the fuel-side electrode having the above-described configuration, the occurrence of polarization is suppressed and the power generation capability of the solid oxide fuel cell is improved.
Japanese Patent No. 3330198

特許文献1に記載の燃料側電極は、(CeO0.8(SrO1.50.2あるいはPrOを添加して分極を抑制し、発電能力の向上を達成している。しかし、燃料側電極の構成成分が増加することによって、組成のばらつきが生じやすく、発電特性に悪影響を与える。このため、生産工程における管理が複雑化することが問題となっていた。また、原料コストが増大する欠点もあった。 In the fuel-side electrode described in Patent Document 1, (CeO 2 ) 0.8 (SrO 1.5 ) 0.2 or PrO x is added to suppress polarization and achieve an improvement in power generation capacity. However, an increase in the constituent components of the fuel side electrode tends to cause variation in composition, which adversely affects power generation characteristics. For this reason, it has been a problem that management in the production process becomes complicated. In addition, there is a disadvantage that the raw material cost increases.

本発明は、このような事情に鑑みてなされたものであって、電気特性が良好であり、低い運転温度でも燃料側電極の分極発生が抑えられた固体電解質型燃料電池の発電膜及び発電膜の製造方法を提供する。   The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and has a power generation film and a power generation film for a solid oxide fuel cell that have good electrical characteristics and suppress the occurrence of polarization of a fuel-side electrode even at a low operating temperature. A manufacturing method is provided.

本発明者らが検討した結果、燃料側電極をYSZ及びNiOの2成分系とした場合でも、YSZ及びNiOの混合物からなる混合層の積層構成と、混合層の膜厚とを適正化することによって、燃料側電極の電気特性が良好となり、かつ、800℃程度の低温運転においても分極の発生を抑制することができることを見出した。   As a result of the study by the present inventors, even when the fuel side electrode is a two-component system of YSZ and NiO, the laminated structure of the mixed layer made of a mixture of YSZ and NiO and the film thickness of the mixed layer should be optimized. Thus, it has been found that the electric characteristics of the fuel side electrode are improved and the occurrence of polarization can be suppressed even at a low temperature operation of about 800 ° C.

すなわち、本発明の参考例として、固体電解質と、該固体電解質の一側に設けられた空気側電極と、他の側に設けられた燃料側電極とを有する、固体電解質型燃料電池の発電膜であって、前記燃料側電極が、酸化ニッケルとイットリア安定化ジルコニアとの混合層が複数積層されて構成され、前記酸化ニッケルと前記イットリア安定化ジルコニアとの混合割合が、前記複数の混合層で互いに異なり、前記混合層に含有される前記イットリア安定化ジルコニアの割合が、前記固体電解質側から前記固体電解質と反対側に向かって少なくなるように、前記複数の混合層が積層され、前記複数の混合層のそれぞれの膜厚が、10μm以上30μm以下であることを特徴とする固体電解質型燃料電池の発電膜を提供する。 That is, as a reference example of the present invention , a power generation film of a solid oxide fuel cell having a solid electrolyte, an air-side electrode provided on one side of the solid electrolyte, and a fuel-side electrode provided on the other side The fuel side electrode is configured by laminating a plurality of mixed layers of nickel oxide and yttria-stabilized zirconia, and the mixing ratio of nickel oxide and yttria-stabilized zirconia is determined by the plurality of mixed layers. The plurality of mixed layers are stacked such that the ratio of the yttria-stabilized zirconia contained in the mixed layer decreases from the solid electrolyte side toward the opposite side of the solid electrolyte. Provided is a power generation film for a solid oxide fuel cell, wherein the thickness of each of the mixed layers is 10 μm or more and 30 μm or less.

このように、酸化ニッケルとイットリア安定化ジルコニアとの混合割合が互いに異なる複数の混合層を、固体電解質側から固体電解質と反対側に向かってイットリア安定化ジルコニアの含有割合が少なくなるように積層させた構成とし、各混合層の膜厚を10μm以上30μm以下とすることにより、電気特性が良好であり、低温運転でも分極の発生が抑制された燃料側電極とすることができる。各混合層の膜厚が10μm未満では、電極反応に十分な領域が得られない。30μmを超える場合は、特に酸化ニッケルの割合が低い混合層において電子伝導性が低くなり、IR抵抗(絶縁抵抗)が増加する。本発明の発電膜は、燃料側電極の成分数が少なく組成管理が容易であるため、組成のばらつきを小さくすることができる。このため、発電特性が安定した固体電解質型燃料電池を得ることができる。   In this way, a plurality of mixed layers having different mixing ratios of nickel oxide and yttria-stabilized zirconia are laminated so that the content ratio of yttria-stabilized zirconia decreases from the solid electrolyte side to the opposite side of the solid electrolyte. With this structure, the thickness of each mixed layer is set to 10 μm or more and 30 μm or less, whereby a fuel-side electrode that has good electrical characteristics and suppresses the occurrence of polarization even at low temperature operation can be obtained. If the thickness of each mixed layer is less than 10 μm, a region sufficient for electrode reaction cannot be obtained. When the thickness exceeds 30 μm, particularly in a mixed layer having a low nickel oxide ratio, the electron conductivity is lowered and the IR resistance (insulation resistance) is increased. Since the power generation membrane of the present invention has a small number of components on the fuel side electrode and is easy to manage the composition, variations in composition can be reduced. For this reason, a solid oxide fuel cell having stable power generation characteristics can be obtained.

上記発明において、前記燃料側電極が、前記混合層を3以上積層されて構成されることが好ましい。   In the above invention, it is preferable that the fuel-side electrode is configured by laminating three or more of the mixed layers.

酸化ニッケルの熱膨張係数は、イットリア安定化ジルコニアの熱膨張係数よりも大きい。混合層の熱膨張係数は、酸化ニッケルとイットリア安定化ジルコニアとの混合割合に対応し、酸化ニッケルの割合が多い混合層は熱膨張係数が大きく、イットリア安定化ジルコニアの割合が多い混合層は熱膨張係数が小さい。酸化ニッケルとイットリア安定化ジルコニアとの混合割合が大きく異なる混合層同士を接触させて積層する場合、熱膨張係数の差によって層間剥離が生じ、発電性能が低下する。混合層を3以上積層させると、接触する混合層間の熱膨張差を小さくした積層構成とすることができるので、燃料側電極内での層間剥離を防止できる。この結果、固体電解質型燃料電池の発電性能の低下を防止することができる。   The thermal expansion coefficient of nickel oxide is larger than that of yttria stabilized zirconia. The thermal expansion coefficient of the mixed layer corresponds to the mixing ratio of nickel oxide and yttria stabilized zirconia, the mixed layer having a high ratio of nickel oxide has a large thermal expansion coefficient, and the mixed layer having a high ratio of yttria stabilized zirconia Small expansion coefficient. When the mixed layers having greatly different mixing ratios of nickel oxide and yttria-stabilized zirconia are brought into contact with each other to be laminated, delamination occurs due to a difference in thermal expansion coefficient, and power generation performance is reduced. When three or more mixed layers are stacked, a stacked structure in which the difference in thermal expansion between the mixed layers in contact with each other can be reduced, so that delamination in the fuel-side electrode can be prevented. As a result, it is possible to prevent a decrease in power generation performance of the solid oxide fuel cell.

上記発明において、前記混合層が、酸化ニッケルとイットリア安定化ジルコニアとの混合粉末が熱処理された原料粉末から形成されることが好ましい。   In the above invention, the mixed layer is preferably formed from a raw material powder obtained by heat-treating a mixed powder of nickel oxide and yttria-stabilized zirconia.

熱処理された原料粉末は、酸化ニッケルとジルコニアとが結合している。このような原料粉末から形成された混合層で燃料側電極は、長時間運転した場合の分極抵抗の増加が小さくなる。その結果、固体電解質型燃料電池の発電特性の経時劣化を小さくすることができる。   In the heat-treated raw material powder, nickel oxide and zirconia are bonded. In the mixed layer formed from such raw material powder, the fuel side electrode has a small increase in polarization resistance when operated for a long time. As a result, deterioration with time of the power generation characteristics of the solid oxide fuel cell can be reduced.

この場合、前記熱処理が、1300℃以上1500℃未満の温度で1時間以上10時間以下の熱処理であることが好ましい。   In this case, the heat treatment is preferably a heat treatment at a temperature of 1300 ° C. or higher and lower than 1500 ° C. for 1 hour or longer and 10 hours or shorter.

熱処理の温度が1300℃より低い場合には、酸化ニッケルとジルコニアとが結合しないため、熱処理による効果を得ることができない。一方、1500℃以上で熱処理すると、酸化ニッケルが初期焼結により凝集して塊状となり、粉砕しにくくなる。また、塊を粉砕した原料粉末を用いて燃料側電極を形成した場合、固体電解質型燃料電池の発電特性が大幅に低下する。
熱処理時間が1時間未満では、酸化ニッケルとジルコニアとの結合が不十分であり、熱処理による効果を得ることができない。熱処理時間が10時間を越えると、粒成長が著しくなり、発電特性の低下を招く。特に、上記熱処理温度範囲内であっても高い温度で熱処理を行った場合には、酸化ニッケルの凝集が進行し、粉砕が困難になると共に燃料電池の発電特性が大幅に低下する。
When the temperature of the heat treatment is lower than 1300 ° C., nickel oxide and zirconia are not bonded to each other, so that the effect of the heat treatment cannot be obtained. On the other hand, when heat treatment is performed at 1500 ° C. or higher, the nickel oxide aggregates and forms a lump due to the initial sintering and is difficult to pulverize. In addition, when the fuel side electrode is formed using the raw material powder obtained by pulverizing the lump, the power generation characteristics of the solid oxide fuel cell are greatly deteriorated.
When the heat treatment time is less than 1 hour, the bond between nickel oxide and zirconia is insufficient, and the effect of the heat treatment cannot be obtained. When the heat treatment time exceeds 10 hours, the grain growth becomes remarkable and power generation characteristics are deteriorated. In particular, when heat treatment is performed at a high temperature even within the above heat treatment temperature range, the nickel oxide agglomerates and becomes difficult to grind, and the power generation characteristics of the fuel cell are greatly reduced.

上記の発電膜を備える固体電解質型燃料電池は、燃料側電極の電気特性が良好であり、分極抵抗の発生が抑制されるので、高い発電能力を示す燃料電池となる。   The solid oxide fuel cell provided with the above power generation membrane has good electric characteristics of the fuel side electrode, and the occurrence of polarization resistance is suppressed, so that the fuel cell exhibits high power generation capability.

本発明は、固体電解質の一方の表面に空気側電極を設ける工程と、前記固体電解質の他方の表面に燃料側電極を設ける工程とを備える固体電解質型燃料電池の発電膜の製造方法であって、前記燃料側電極を設ける工程が、酸化ニッケル粉末とイットリア安定化ジルコニア粉末との混合割合が互いに異なる複数の原料粉末を作製する工程と、前記イットリア安定化ジルコニア粉末の割合が高い原料粉末から前記イットリア安定化ジルコニア粉末の割合が低い原料粉末の順で、前記複数の原料粉末を前記固体電解質の表面上に塗布して、酸化ニッケルとイットリア安定化ジルコニアとの混合層を複数形成する工程と、該複数の混合層を焼結する工程とを備え、該焼結された混合層のそれぞれの膜厚が10μm以上30μm以下となるように、前記原料粉末を固体電解質の表面上に塗布することを特徴とする固体電解質型燃料電池の発電膜の製造方法を提供する。   The present invention is a method for producing a power generation membrane of a solid oxide fuel cell comprising a step of providing an air side electrode on one surface of a solid electrolyte and a step of providing a fuel side electrode on the other surface of the solid electrolyte. The step of providing the fuel side electrode includes a step of producing a plurality of raw material powders having different mixing ratios of the nickel oxide powder and the yttria stabilized zirconia powder, and a raw material powder having a high proportion of the yttria stabilized zirconia powder. Applying the plurality of raw material powders on the surface of the solid electrolyte in the order of the raw material powder having a low proportion of yttria-stabilized zirconia powder, and forming a plurality of mixed layers of nickel oxide and yttria-stabilized zirconia; A step of sintering the plurality of mixed layers, wherein the original thickness is 10 μm or more and 30 μm or less. A method for producing a power generation membrane for a solid oxide fuel cell, characterized in that a coating powder is applied onto the surface of the solid electrolyte.

酸化ニッケル粉末とイットリア安定化ジルコニア粉末との混合割合が異なる原料粉末を複数作製し、イットリア安定化ジルコニア粉末の割合が高い原料粉末から、イットリア安定化ジルコニア粉末の割合が低い原料粉末の順番で、原料粉末を固体電解質上に塗布する。この工程により、固体電解質上に、酸化ニッケルとイットリア安定化ジルコニアの混合物からなる複数の混合層が、固体電解質側から固体電解質の反対側に向かって混合層中のイットリア安定化ジルコニアの割合が少なくなるように形成される。次いで、混合層を焼結して、固体電解質表面に燃料側電極を設ける。上記の工程において、各混合層の焼結後の膜厚が10μm以上30μm以下となるように、固体電解質上に原料粉末を塗布する。本発明の製造方法によれば、所定膜厚の混合層を積層でき、組成のばらつきを抑えることができるため、電気特性が良好であり分極の発生が小さい燃料側電極を有する発電膜を得ることができる。   Producing a plurality of raw material powders with different mixing ratios of nickel oxide powder and yttria stabilized zirconia powder, from raw material powder with a high ratio of yttria stabilized zirconia powder, to a raw material powder with a low ratio of yttria stabilized zirconia powder, The raw material powder is applied onto the solid electrolyte. By this step, a plurality of mixed layers made of a mixture of nickel oxide and yttria stabilized zirconia are formed on the solid electrolyte so that the proportion of yttria stabilized zirconia in the mixed layer decreases from the solid electrolyte side to the opposite side of the solid electrolyte. Formed to be. Next, the mixed layer is sintered to provide a fuel side electrode on the surface of the solid electrolyte. In the above step, the raw material powder is applied on the solid electrolyte so that the thickness of each mixed layer after sintering is 10 μm or more and 30 μm or less. According to the manufacturing method of the present invention, since a mixed layer having a predetermined thickness can be stacked and variation in composition can be suppressed, a power generation film having a fuel-side electrode with good electrical characteristics and low polarization can be obtained. Can do.

上記発明において、前記混合層を、3以上積層することが好ましい。これにより、燃料側電極内での層間剥離が防止できる。この結果、高い発電性能を示す固体電解質型燃料電池を得ることができる。   In the above invention, it is preferable to stack three or more of the mixed layers. Thereby, delamination in the fuel side electrode can be prevented. As a result, a solid oxide fuel cell exhibiting high power generation performance can be obtained.

上記発明において、前記原料粉末が、前記酸化ニッケル粉末と前記イットリア安定化ジルコニア粉末とを混合した混合粉末を熱処理して酸化ニッケルとジルコニアとを結合させ、該熱処理された混合粉末を粉砕して作製されることが好ましい。この場合、前記熱処理を、1300℃以上1500℃未満の温度にて1時間以上10時間以下の処理時間で実施することが好ましい。 In the above invention, the raw material powder is produced by heat-treating a mixed powder obtained by mixing the nickel oxide powder and the yttria-stabilized zirconia powder , bonding nickel oxide and zirconia, and pulverizing the heat-treated mixed powder. It is preferred that In this case, the heat treatment is preferably performed at a temperature of 1300 ° C. or higher and lower than 1500 ° C. for a processing time of 1 hour or longer and 10 hours or shorter.

酸化ニッケル粉末とイットリアジルコニア粉末との混合粉末を上記条件で熱処理することによって、酸化ニッケルとジルコニアとが結合する。熱処理により酸化ニッケルとジルコニアとが結合した原料粉末を用いて燃料側電極を形成することにより、長時間運転した場合の燃料側電極での分極抵抗の増加を抑制することができる。この結果、経時劣化の小さい固体電解質型燃料電池を得ることができる。   The mixed powder of nickel oxide powder and yttria zirconia powder is heat-treated under the above conditions, whereby nickel oxide and zirconia are bonded. By forming the fuel side electrode using the raw material powder in which nickel oxide and zirconia are combined by heat treatment, an increase in polarization resistance at the fuel side electrode when operated for a long time can be suppressed. As a result, a solid oxide fuel cell with little deterioration over time can be obtained.

本発明の固体電解質型燃料電池の発電膜は、固体電解質側から固体電解質の反対側に向かってイットリア安定化ジルコニアの含有割合が少なくなるように、酸化ニッケルとイットリア安定化ジルコニアとの混合層を複数積層させた構成とされ、1つの混合層の膜厚を10μm以上30μm以下とされた燃料側電極を備える。このような燃料側電極は、電気特性が良好であり、800℃程度の低温運転でも分極の発生が抑制できる。従って、高い発電特性を示す固体電解質型燃料電池を得ることができる。   The power generation membrane of the solid oxide fuel cell of the present invention has a mixed layer of nickel oxide and yttria stabilized zirconia so that the content ratio of yttria stabilized zirconia decreases from the solid electrolyte side to the opposite side of the solid electrolyte. A fuel-side electrode having a structure in which a plurality of layers are stacked and the thickness of one mixed layer is 10 μm or more and 30 μm or less is provided. Such a fuel-side electrode has good electrical characteristics and can suppress the occurrence of polarization even at low temperature operation of about 800 ° C. Therefore, a solid oxide fuel cell exhibiting high power generation characteristics can be obtained.

また、燃料側電極を構成する混合層を、酸化ニッケル粉末とイットリア安定化ジルコニア粉末との混合粉末を熱処理して粉砕した原料粉末を用いて形成することにより、長時間運転した場合の分極抵抗の増加を抑制できる。このため、経時劣化の小さい固体電解質型燃料電池を得ることができる。   In addition, the mixed layer constituting the fuel-side electrode is formed using a raw material powder obtained by heat-treating a mixed powder of nickel oxide powder and yttria-stabilized zirconia powder, thereby reducing the polarization resistance when operated for a long time. Increase can be suppressed. For this reason, a solid oxide fuel cell with little deterioration over time can be obtained.

以下、本発明の実施形態について説明する。
図2は、本実施形態に係る固体電解質型燃料電池の発電膜の断面図である。図2の発電膜10において、イットリア安定化ジルコニア(YSZ)からなる平板状の固体電解質1の一方の面に、燃料側電極2が形成されている。固体電解質1の他方の面には、ランタンストロンチウムマンガン酸化物(La(1−x)SrMnO(LSM)とYSZとのコンポジットからなる空気側電極3が形成されている。
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the power generation membrane of the solid oxide fuel cell according to this embodiment. In the power generation membrane 10 of FIG. 2, a fuel-side electrode 2 is formed on one surface of a flat solid electrolyte 1 made of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ). On the other surface of the solid electrolyte 1, an air-side electrode 3 made of a composite of lanthanum strontium manganese oxide (La (1-x) Sr x ) y MnO 3 (LSM) and YSZ is formed.

燃料側電極2は、固体電解質1側から順に、第1層乃至第5層2a,2b,2c,2d,2eが積層された5層構造となっている。第1層乃至第5層は、酸化ニッケル(NiO)とYSZの混合物である。第1層乃至第5層のNiOとYSZの混合割合は互いに異なり、以下に記載する質量比の組成A〜Eの範囲内とされる。
第1層 A・・・ NiO:YSZ=0:100 〜 20:80(但し0:100は含まず)
第2層 B・・・ NiO:YSZ=20:80 〜 40:60
第3層 C・・・ NiO:YSZ=40:60 〜 60:40
第4層 D・・・ NiO:YSZ=60:40 〜 80:20
第5層 E・・・ NiO:YSZ=80:20 〜 100:0(但し100:0は含まず)
すなわち、固体電解質1側の第1層2aから第5層2eに向かって、段階的にYSZの割合が低下し、NiOの割合が高くなるような構成となっている。固体電解質と燃料側電極の界面付近である第1層2aで電極反応に寄与するYSZの割合を増加させ、界面から離れた部分で電子導電性に優れるNiOの割合を増加させることにより、電気特性が良好となり、800℃程度の低温運転における分極の発生が抑制される。
The fuel-side electrode 2 has a five-layer structure in which the first to fifth layers 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, and 2e are laminated in order from the solid electrolyte 1 side. The first to fifth layers are a mixture of nickel oxide (NiO) and YSZ. The mixing ratios of NiO and YSZ in the first layer to the fifth layer are different from each other, and are within the range of compositions A to E having the mass ratio described below.
First layer A: NiO: YSZ = 0: 100 to 20:80 (however, 0: 100 is not included)
Second layer B ... NiO: YSZ = 20: 80 to 40:60
Third layer C: NiO: YSZ = 40: 60 to 60:40
Fourth layer D ... NiO: YSZ = 60: 40 to 80:20
5th layer E ... NiO: YSZ = 80: 20 to 100: 0 (however, 100: 0 is not included)
That is, the ratio of YSZ gradually decreases from the first layer 2a on the solid electrolyte 1 side toward the fifth layer 2e, and the ratio of NiO increases. By increasing the proportion of YSZ that contributes to the electrode reaction in the first layer 2a that is in the vicinity of the interface between the solid electrolyte and the fuel-side electrode, and increasing the proportion of NiO that is excellent in electronic conductivity at a portion away from the interface, electrical characteristics are obtained. And the occurrence of polarization in a low temperature operation of about 800 ° C. is suppressed.

NiOの熱膨張係数は14×10−6/K〜15×10−6/K程度であり、YSZの熱膨張係数は10.2×10−6/Kである。NiOとYSZとを混合した場合の熱膨張係数は、混合割合に対応する。すなわち、NiOの割合が多いと熱膨張係数が大きく、YSZの割合が多いと熱膨張係数が小さくなる。本実施形態では、燃料側電極を5層構成とすることにより、接触する混合層同士の熱膨張差が小さくできるため、燃料側電極内での層間剥離を防止できる。なお、燃料側電極を、混合層が3層以上積層された構成とすれば、層間剥離を防止するのに十分である。 The thermal expansion coefficient of NiO is about 14 × 10 −6 / K to 15 × 10 −6 / K, and the thermal expansion coefficient of YSZ is 10.2 × 10 −6 / K. The thermal expansion coefficient when NiO and YSZ are mixed corresponds to the mixing ratio. That is, when the proportion of NiO is large, the thermal expansion coefficient is large, and when the proportion of YSZ is large, the thermal expansion coefficient is small. In this embodiment, since the fuel side electrode has a five-layer structure, the difference in thermal expansion between the mixed layers in contact with each other can be reduced, so that delamination in the fuel side electrode can be prevented. If the fuel side electrode has a configuration in which three or more mixed layers are laminated, it is sufficient to prevent delamination.

また、本実施形態の燃料側電極は、第1層2aのYSZの割合が高く、YSZからなる固体電解質1との熱膨張係数差を小さくできるため、固体電解質からの燃料側電極の剥離も防止することが出来る。   In addition, since the fuel side electrode of the present embodiment has a high YSZ ratio in the first layer 2a and can reduce the difference in thermal expansion coefficient from the solid electrolyte 1 made of YSZ, the fuel side electrode can be prevented from peeling off from the solid electrolyte. I can do it.

第1層乃至第5層2a,2b,2c,2d,2eの膜厚はそれぞれ、10μm以上30μm以下とされる。各層の膜厚が10μm未満では、電極反応に十分な領域が得られない。30μmを超える場合は、NiO比率が小さい第1層乃至第3層において電子伝導性が低くなり、IR抵抗(絶縁抵抗)が増加する。   The film thicknesses of the first to fifth layers 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, and 2e are 10 μm or more and 30 μm or less, respectively. If the thickness of each layer is less than 10 μm, a region sufficient for electrode reaction cannot be obtained. When the thickness exceeds 30 μm, the first to third layers having a small NiO ratio have a low electron conductivity and an IR resistance (insulation resistance) increases.

本実施形態の発電膜は、燃料側電極の電気特性が良好であり、分極の発生が抑制されるため、本実施形態の発電膜を用いて固体電解質型燃料電池とした場合、高い発電特性を得ることができる。   The power generation membrane of the present embodiment has good electrical characteristics of the fuel side electrode, and the occurrence of polarization is suppressed. Therefore, when the power generation membrane of the present embodiment is used as a solid oxide fuel cell, high power generation characteristics are obtained. Can be obtained.

以下に、本実施形態の発電膜における燃料側電極を形成する工程を説明する。
NiO粉末及びYSZ粉末を、上述したA〜Eの組成比となるように秤量して混合し、原料粉末を作製する。ボールミルやロールミルを用いて混合すると、NiO粉末とYSZ粉末とを均一に混合できる。
Below, the process of forming the fuel side electrode in the power generation film of this embodiment will be described.
NiO powder and YSZ powder are weighed and mixed so as to have the composition ratio of A to E described above to produce a raw material powder. When mixed using a ball mill or roll mill, the NiO powder and the YSZ powder can be mixed uniformly.

本実施形態において、NiO粉末及びYSZ粉末をA〜Eの組成比となるように秤量して混合した混合粉末に熱処理を施し、再度ボールミルやロールミルを用いて粉砕したものを原料粉末に用いてもよい。この場合、熱処理は、1300℃以上1500℃未満の温度で1時間以上10時間以下実施する。熱処理を施した原料粉末から燃料側電極を作製すると、長時間運転した場合の分極抵抗の増加を抑制することができる。このため、固体電解質型燃料電池の発電特性の経時劣化を抑制することができる。   In the present embodiment, even if NiO powder and YSZ powder are weighed and mixed so as to have a composition ratio of A to E, heat treatment is performed, and a powder pulverized again using a ball mill or roll mill is used as a raw material powder. Good. In this case, the heat treatment is performed at a temperature of 1300 ° C. or higher and lower than 1500 ° C. for 1 hour or longer and 10 hours or shorter. Producing a fuel-side electrode from heat-treated raw material powder can suppress an increase in polarization resistance when operated for a long time. For this reason, deterioration with time of the power generation characteristics of the solid oxide fuel cell can be suppressed.

燃料側電極2の第1層2aとして、組成Aの原料粉末を固体電解質1上に塗布する。塗布方法は、例えばスクリーンプリント法が適用される。
原料粉末にビヒクルを添加したペーストを、穴の開いたスクリーンで固体電解質上に均一に転写して塗布する。ビヒクルは、例えばブチルカルビトール、テレピン油、ブタノールなどが挙げられ、好ましくはブチルカルビトールである。後工程の焼結を行った後の膜厚が10μm以上30μm以下となるように、スクリーンの厚さによって、塗布時の膜厚を調整する。第1層2aを乾燥させた後、第1層の塗布方法と同様にして、第2層2bとして組成Bの原料粉末を塗布する。第3層乃至第5層2c,2d,2eについても、上記工程を繰り返して、組成C〜Eの原料粉末を順次塗布する。スクリーンプリント法で原料粉末を塗布すると、固体電解質と燃料側電極との密着性が向上する。
As the first layer 2 a of the fuel side electrode 2, a raw material powder of composition A is applied on the solid electrolyte 1. For example, a screen printing method is applied as the coating method.
The paste in which the vehicle is added to the raw material powder is uniformly transferred and applied onto the solid electrolyte with a screen having holes. Examples of the vehicle include butyl carbitol, turpentine oil, butanol and the like, and preferably butyl carbitol. The film thickness at the time of application is adjusted according to the thickness of the screen so that the film thickness after sintering in the post-process becomes 10 μm or more and 30 μm or less. After drying the first layer 2a, the raw material powder of the composition B is applied as the second layer 2b in the same manner as the first layer coating method. The above process is repeated for the third to fifth layers 2c, 2d, and 2e, and the raw material powders having the compositions C to E are sequentially applied. When the raw material powder is applied by the screen printing method, the adhesion between the solid electrolyte and the fuel side electrode is improved.

固体電解質1上に第1層乃至第5層2a,2b,2c,2d,2eを形成した後、焼結して燃料側電極2を形成する。   After the first to fifth layers 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, and 2e are formed on the solid electrolyte 1, the fuel side electrode 2 is formed by sintering.

上記実施形態では、燃料側電極を5層構造とした場合を説明したが、本発明はこれに限定されない。例えば、2層構造や3層構造としても、良好な電気特性を有し分極が抑制された燃料側電極とすることができる。より効果的に固体電解質型燃料電池の発電特性を向上させるには、燃料側電極を3層以上を積層させた構造とすることが好ましい。   Although the case where the fuel side electrode has a five-layer structure has been described in the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a two-layer structure or a three-layer structure can provide a fuel-side electrode having good electrical characteristics and suppressed polarization. In order to improve the power generation characteristics of the solid oxide fuel cell more effectively, it is preferable to have a structure in which three or more fuel side electrodes are laminated.
