Proton conductor, proton-conducting cell structure, water vapor electrolysis cell, and method for producing hydrogen electrode-solid electrolyte layer complex

A titanium foil or a titanium sheet is produced by electrodeposition from molten salt using constant current pulse, the method comprising: forming an electrodeposited titanium film on a surface of a cathode electrode made of glassy carbon, graphite, Mo, and Ni, and separating thereafter the electrodeposited titanium film from the cathode electrode by performing one or both of applying an external force to the electrodeposited titanium film and removing the cathode electrode. This enables the electrodeposited titanium film electrodeposited on the cathode electrode to be peeled from the cathode electrode simply and at low cost.

Method for producing titanium foil or titanium sheet, and cathode electrode

A method for producing a cell structure includes: a step of firing a laminated body of a layer containing an anode material and a layer containing a solid electrolyte material, to obtain a joined body of an anode and a solid electrolyte layer; a step of laminating a layer containing a cathode material on a surface of the solid electrolyte layer, and firing the obtained laminated body to obtain a cathode. The anode material contains a metal oxide Ma1 and a nickel compound. The metal oxide Ma1 is a metal oxide having a perovskite structure represented by A1B1M1O(wherein: A1 is at least one of Ba, Ca, and Sr; B1 is at least one of Ce and Zr; M1 is at least one of Y, Yb, Er, Ho, Tm, Gd, In, and Sc; 0.85&#x2264;x1&#x2264;0.99; 0&#x3c;y1&#x2264;0.5; and &#x3b4; is an oxygen deficiency amount).

Method for producing cell structure

Provided is a solid electrolyte laminate comprising a solid electrolyte layer having proton conductivity and a cathode electrode layer laminated on one side of the solid electrolyte layer and made of lanthanum strontium cobalt oxide (LSC). Also provided is a method for manufacturing the solid electrolyte. This solid electrolyte laminate can further comprise an anode electrode layer made of nickel-yttrium doped barium zirconate (Ni&#x2014;BZY). This solid electrolyte laminate is suitable for a fuel cell operating in an intermediate temperature range less than or equal to 600&#xb0; C.

Solid electrolyte laminate, method for manufacturing solid electrolyte laminate, and fuel cell
