Abstract

We controlled the amount of Y$_2$O$_3$additives, 8 mol% and 10 mol%, and the type of carbon pore former, activated carbon and carbon black, to improve the strength of porous NiO-YSZ anode materials for solid oxide fuel ceil. The 3-point flexural strength, porosity and electrical conductivity were evaluated. As a result, the strength of anode materials with the addition of carbon black was markedly improved. The strength of NiO-10 mol%YSZ sintered at relatively higher temperature was higher than that of NiO-8 mol%YSZ materials. The electrical conductivity of NiO-10 mol%YSZ with carbon black was evaluated as much as 10$^2$∼10$^3$S/cm at 700$^{\circ}C$∼1000$^{\circ}C$ in reducing atmosphere.

고체산화물 연료전지용 음극소재로 사용되는 다공성 NiO-YSZ 소재의 강도를 향상시키기 위하여 $Y_2$O$_3$첨가제의 양 및 기공전구체로 첨가되는 탄소첨가제의 종류를 변화시켰으며, 이에 따른 기계적 강도와 기공율, 전기전도도를 측정하였다. $Y_2$O$_3$첨가제의 양은 8 mol%와 10 mo1%로 각각 변화시켰으며, 기공전구체는 활성탄과 카본블랙의 영향을 고찰하였다. 그 결과 카본블랙을 기공전구체로 사용하였을 경우 활성탄을 사용한 경우에 비해 기계적 강도가 크게 향상되었으며, 상대적으로 고온의 소결온도에서 제조된 10 mo1%의 $Y_2$O$_3$가 첨가된 NiO-YSZ 음극소재가, 8 mol%가 첨가된 소재에 비하여 상대적으로 우수한 강도를 나타내었다. 10 mo1%의 $Y_2$O$_3$와 카본블랙이 첨가된 음극소재는 전기전도도 값에 있어서도 $700^{\circ}C$~100$0^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에서 $10^2$~$10^3$S/cm의 양호한 값을 나타내는 것으로 평가되었다.
