Abstract

Long term stability has been a crucial issue for the future applications of the solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Current collectors for the cathodes have been among the most vulnerable components of the SOFCs due to their operation in oxidizing atmospheres at relatively high temperatures. Ag and Ag based LSM (lanthanum-strontium manganite) composites were studied to develop highly stable and low-cost current collectors compatible with other fuel cell components. In this study, no degradation was observed in the electrical conductivity and the porous microstructure of the Ag-LSM composite current collectors after 600 hours of operation at 800oC in air.
