Abstract
An electrolyte sheet for solid oxide fuel cells includes a ceramic plate body containing a cubic zirconia sintered material, wherein, with the ceramic plate body being defined to have nine portions including an outer peripheral portion and a central portion, ceramic grains in each of the nine portions have a median size D50 of 1.0 μm to 4.0 μm, and a maximum median size D50 of the ceramic grains among the nine portions is 1.0 to 1.3 times a minimum median size D50 of the ceramic grains among the nine portions.
Claims5
An electrolyte sheet for solid oxide fuel cells, the electrolyte sheet comprising:
- a ceramic plate body containing a cubic zirconia sintered material,
- wherein, with the ceramic plate body being defined to have nine portions including an outer peripheral portion and a central portion, the nine portions each being a square of equal size, the outer peripheral portion consisting of eight portions located on a periphery of the ceramic plate body, the central portion consisting of one portion surrounded by the outer peripheral portion, ceramic grains in each of the nine portions have a median size D50 of 1.0 μm to 4.0 μm, and a maximum median size D50 of the ceramic grains among the nine portions is 1.0 to 1.3 times a minimum median size D50 of the ceramic grains among the nine portions, the median size D50 of the ceramic grains being defined as a particle size at 50% in a cumulative particle size distribution curve of the ceramic grains expressed as a cumulative percentage against particle size scale.
