Fabrication method of electrolyte impregnanted cathodes

A method for manufacturing a cathode for a molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC), that is, an electrolyte impregnated cathode for the MCFC, the method comprising:

• uniformly applying eutectic carbonate electrolyte powder into pores of the cathode;
• and
• performing heat-treatment to impregnate an electrolyte into the pores of the cathode,
• wherein in the step of performing the heat-treatment, a high density substrate and a high density pressure plate, surface-treated with glassy carbon and Si3N4, respectively, are used to press the applied eutectic carbonate electrolyte powder.
