Abstract

The molten carbonate fuel cell matrices, which are usually made of high surface, fine particle size ${\gamma}-LiAlO_2$ are reinforced with coarse particles of the same material and alumina fibers. An the effects of reinforcing materials on pore characteristics, sintering properties and mechanical properties of the matrices are examined.Among the matrices examined, the highest mechanical reinforcement has been achieved in the one containing 10 wt.% coarse particles and 20 wt.% alumina fibers.
