摘要：This work aims to increase the interface between anode and electrolyte in solid oxide fuel cells by controlling the 3D microstructure with a commercial ink-jet 3D printer. Anode and electrolyte inks suitable for use in a 3D printer were prepared by altering the viscosity and the droplet size. A porous anode structure that ensures a flow path for gases was achieved by addition of acrylic particles into the anode ink. A dense electrolyte structure that prevents leakage was created. The anode and electrolyte layers were produced as long, flat strips which were aligned in parallel to form sheets; these sheets were stacked orthogonally to complete the 3D microstructure called the ‘anode functional layer’. The anode functional layer was roughly 100 micrometers on a side with a thickness of 4 micrometers. The anode functional layer was inserted between the anode and electrolyte. The assembled solid oxide fuel cell showed high performance when tested at 600 °C with dry methane as the fuel source.
