Since the operating temperature of a solid oxide fuel cell is as high as about 1000 ° C., the separator is chemically stable against an oxidizing atmosphere.
It is required to have excellent conductivity and heat resistance. As a material for the separator, a heat-resistant alloy having excellent conductivity and oxidation resistance is used. However, when the separator is operated at a high temperature of about 1000 ° C. for a long time, the surface of the alloy in contact with the oxidizing gas of the separator gradually becomes larger. Oxidation causes an increase in resistance due to an oxide film on the surface, and there is a disadvantage that conductivity is reduced. Since a decrease in the conductivity of the separator leads to a shorter life of the solid oxide fuel cell, it is desired to develop a separator capable of securing excellent oxidation resistance and conductivity at a high temperature of about 1000 ° C. for a long period of time. It is rare.

Accordingly, the inventors have attempted to form an oxidation-resistant protective layer by spraying a conductive ceramic powder onto the base material surface of the separator by plasma spraying. However, there is a problem that the obtained protective layer is separated due to stress generated due to a difference in coefficient of thermal expansion when the temperature rises and falls when the battery is operated and stopped.

The surface protective layer (40) formed on the surface of the separator base material (32) is formed by mixing conductive ceramic powder and glass. This separator (30) was alternately stacked with the single cell (20) and incorporated into a solid oxide fuel cell at 1000 ° C.
When a solid oxide fuel cell is operated nearby, the glass softens and enters the gaps between the conductive ceramic particles. Accordingly, there is no gap in the surface protection layer (40), and the adhesion between the surface protection layer (40) and the separator base material (32) can be maintained in a good state. Since conductive ceramic particles are present in the surface protective layer, excellent conductivity can be ensured. When the operation of the solid oxide fuel cell is stopped, the temperature is lowered and the glass of the surface protective layer is hardened. However, when the solid oxide fuel cell is operated again, the glass is softened and exhibits an excellent protective effect. In the present invention,
It is also possible to solve the problem that the surface protective layer is peeled off when the temperature rises and falls when the battery is operated and stopped. This is because the glass dispersed in the surface protective layer is softened, thereby reducing the stress generated in the surface protective layer.

Among these coating methods, the slurry coating method is suitable for forming a surface protective layer having a uniform thickness on the surface of a separator base material having irregularities, and is advantageous in terms of manufacturing cost. As shown in FIG. 1, a gas flow path is provided on the surface of the separator base material (32).

Weight Change Measurement The weights of the test samples No. 1 to No. 3 heated at 1000 ° C. in the air were measured at predetermined time intervals. The results are shown in FIG. In Test No. 2, the solid line shows the total weight including the surface protective layer peeled off from the separator, and the two-dot chain line shows the weight excluding the peeled amount. Referring to FIG. 3, Test No. 3 in which the surface protective layer was not formed,
It can be seen that the weight increase is very large. This increase in weight is due to the oxide film formed on the surface of the separator base material. That is, the surface of the separator base material is vigorously oxidized over time. Test No. 2 having a surface protective layer made of only conductive ceramic particles has a smaller degree of oxidation than Test No. 3. This means that only the conductive ceramic particles have a certain degree of oxidation resistance effect. However, it can be seen that the peeling of the oxidized surface protective layer started after about 1500 hours had elapsed, and that the amount of peeling increased with the passage of time. The peeling of the surface protective layer is caused by air entering through gaps between the conductive ceramic particles, oxidizing the surface of the ceramic base material, and weak bonding force between the conductive ceramic particles.

Measurement of Surface Coating Electric Resistance The surface coating electric resistance of the test samples No. 1 to No. 3 was measured at predetermined time intervals using a measuring device (80) shown in FIG.

Referring to Table 2, the test No. 1 of the present invention
Since the glass exists between the conductive ceramic particles, the initial surface coating resistance value is higher than that of Test Nos. 2 and 3. However, when left for 1000 hours in a high-temperature oxidizing atmosphere, the surface coating resistance of Test No. 2 increased by about 4.5 times and that of Test No. 3 increased by about 16 times. It is larger than No.1. On the other hand, in Test No. 1 of the present invention, even after 3000 hours, the surface coating resistance value is maintained at twice or less. That is, it can be seen that Test No. 1 of the present invention can maintain stable conductivity for a long period of time.

Example 2 A surface protective layer was formed by changing the mixing ratio of the conductive ceramic powder and glass, and the electric resistance of the surface coating was measured. Except for changing the mixing ratio between the conductive ceramic powder and the glass powder, the conditions for forming the surface protective layer, the conditions for measuring the surface coating resistance, and the like are the same as in Example 1. The measurement was performed on a separator that was left in the air at 1000 ° C. for 1000 hours. The results are shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 5, the volume percentage of glass is 5%.
If it exceeds 0%, the surface coating resistance value becomes large.
If the amount of the glass is too large, the amount of the conductive ceramic particles present in the surface protective layer is reduced, and the conductivity cannot be secured. When the volume percentage of the glass is less than 20%, the surface coating resistance value is large. When the amount of the glass is small, the conductive ceramic particles are not sufficiently bonded to each other, so that the adhesion of the surface protective layer is poor and the strength is low. Further, voids are generated between the particles, and the surface of the separator base material is exposed to an air atmosphere, so that the effect of suppressing oxidation is reduced. From the above results, in the case of the combination of the conductive ceramic powder and the glass powder having the composition shown in Example 1, it is desirable to mix the mixed powder so that the amount of the glass powder in the mixed powder is 20% by volume to 50% by volume.

Next, the composition of the conductive ceramic powder to be mixed is changed to LaCoO 3 which is one of the materials having the highest electric conductivity at 1000 ° C. in the conductive ceramic, and the surface protective layer is formed. Once formed, the surface coating electrical resistance was measured. Other conditions are the same as in the above embodiment. FIG. 6 shows the results. Referring to FIG. 6, the volume percentage of glass is 80%.
It can be seen that even if it is increased to the extent, the increase in resistance is small. This is because the electric conductivity of the conductive ceramic used is high, so that sufficient electric conductivity can be ensured even in a small amount. Even in this case, the lower limit of the volume percentage of glass is desirably set to 20% in order to join the conductive ceramic powders together and prevent peeling or the like.
