Latest Patents
Willem Vilders, III holds a patent for a "Method and apparatus for forming electrode interconnect contacts for a solid-oxide fuel cell stack." This patent describes an electrical interconnect for a solid-oxide fuel cell stack assembly. It includes a novel sintering paste and an improved manufacturing process for anode and cathode electrical contacts. The anode side of the paste contains a metallic oxide such as NiO, along with sacrificial pore-forming particles. These particles are vaporized during the sintering process, resulting in a porous connection that exhibits excellent electrical conductivity and adhesion. The preferred level of pore-former in the paste is about 40 volume percent. On the cathode side, the paste incorporates noble metals like gold, platinum, palladium, or rhodium, along with sacrificial pore-forming particles. The paste can be applied in a grid pattern or as a continuous layer due to its porous nature after sintering.
