Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate nonconformity caused by a change with the lapse of time by baking temprarily mixture obtained after nickel oxide powder and solid electrolyte powder are mixed together beforehand, pulverizing this temporarily baked product, and applying and baking slurry formed by dispersing it in solvent on a single surface of solid electrolyte. CONSTITUTION:Nickel oxide powder having an average particle diameter of 0.5mum and YSZ powder having an average particle diameter of 0.3mum are mixed together, and are baked beforehand. After this baked product is pulverized by a ball mill and is formed as a particle of not more than 1mum, it is formed as slurry by using respectively proper solvent, dispersing agent and organic binder. After this slurry is applied to solid electrolyte (YSZ), it is baked, and is formed as a fuel electrode. Thereby, since agglutination of nickel in a cathode can be restrained, the negative electrode for a solid electrolyte type electrolytic cell having excellent power generating performance and durability can be obtained.
