This study is focused on oxidation prevention of STS430, which is generally used as solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC) interconnect at intermediate operating temperatures with oxidation-proof coatings. Inconel, $La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}CoO_3(LSCo)$ and $La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}CoO_3(LSCr)$ were chosen as coating materials. Using a radio frequency magnetron sputtering method, each target material was deposited as thin film on STS430 and was analyzed to find out favorable conditions. In this study, LSCr-coated STS430 can reduce electrical resistance to 1/3 level, compared with uncoated STS430. Also, long-term durability test at $700^{\circ}C$ for 1000 hours tells that LSCr thin layer performs an important role to prohibit serious degradations. Superior oxidation-resistant characteristic of LSCr-coated STS430 is attributed to the inhibition of spinel structure formation such as $MnCr_2O_4$.

Nowadays Perovskite $La_{1-x}Sr_xCoO_3$ is a preferred cathode material in the construction Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC). The $La_{1-x}Sr_xCoO_3$ with Sr contents ranging from X=0.0 to X=1.0 were prepared by a citrate method. All samples were examined by X-ray powder diffraction. The samples used for measuring thermal expansion were prepared as pellets by cold pressing and subsequent sintering in air at $1200^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours. To measure the sub-product of $La_{1-x}Sr_xCoO_3$ with YSZ, where coating films were sintered at $1200^{\circ}C$ for 5 hour.

고체산화물연료전지(SOFC)는 연료가 갖는 화학에너지를 연소과정 없이, 공기와 $H_2$, CO, $CH_4$와 같은 환원성 가스를 공급받아 $700^{\circ}C-850^{\circ}C$에서 전기화학적 반응을 통하여 직접 전기를 얻는 방식이다. SOFC는 여러장의 단위 셀을 적층하여 스택을 구성하는데, 스택 제조시 단전지에 공급되는 산화, 환원 가스의 누출이나 흡입을 막기 위하여 밀봉재를 사용한다. 이러한 밀봉재는 완벽한 밀봉, 열에 대한 안정성, 충격에 견디는 저항성 등의 기계적인 특성 및 구성요소와의 최소한의 열팽창계수차를 가져야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 $SiO_2-R_2O_3$-RO계에서 $R_2O_3$, RO의 변화에 따른 밀봉 특성 및 열팽창계수에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다.

To enhance the performance of anode-supported SOFC, single cell fabrication procedure was changed for better and resulting power generating characteristics of single cell were investigated. Liquid condensation process was employed for the granulation of NiO/YSZ powder mixture and the produced powder granules were compacted into anode green substrate by uni-axial pressing. YSZ electrolyte was printed on green substrate via screen-printing method and co-fired at 1400$^{\circ}C$ for 3 h. LSM/YSZ composite cathode of which the composition and heat treatment condition was adjusted to minimize the polarization#resistance with AC-impedance spectroscopy, was screen printed. The final single cell size from this multi-step procedure was 5${\times}$5 $\textrm{cm}^2$ and 10${\times}$10 $\textrm{cm}^2$. The maximum power densities of 5${\times}$5 and 10${\times}$10 single cells were about 0.45 W/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 0.22 W/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 800$^{\circ}C$, which are two times superior than those from single cells fabricated by the conventional process in previous our work.

[ $PSCF3737(Pr_{0.3}Sr_{0.7}Co_{0.3}Fe_{0.7}O_3)$ ] is a good candidate cathode material for IT-SOFC(intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell) because of high MIEC(mixed ionic electronic conductor) conductivity. In this study, the characteristics of PSCF3737 was investigated and optimizations of sintering temperature and thickness for $PSCF3737(Pr_{0.3}Sr_{0.7}Co_{0.3}Fe_{0.7}O_3)$ was carried out. Impedance responses were divided into two parts by frequency region. Middle frequency part (${\sim}10^2\;Hz$) was concerned with oxygen reduction reaction on surface and low frequency part (${\sim}10^{-1}\;Hz$) was related with oxygen diffusion. The reasonable sintering temperature and thickness of cathode were $1200^{\circ}C$ and about $27\;{\mu}m$ with regard to EIS(electrochemical impedance spectroscopy). ASR(areas specific resistance) of optimized cathode is $0.115\;{\Omega}\;cm^2$ at $700^{\circ}C$.
