CATHODE CONTACT LAYER DESIGN FOR PREVENTING CHROMIUM CONTAMINATION OF SOLID OXIDE FUEL CELLS

摘要

In embodiments, a fuel cell stack is provided that includes an interconnect between a first fuel cell and a second fuel cell, and a contact layer in contact with, and disposed between, an electrode of the first fuel cell and the interconnect. The contact layer may include a chromium-getter material. This chromium-getter material may consist of lanthanum oxide, lanthanum carbonate, and/or calcium carbonate.
