Abstract
In various embodiments, techniques for fabricating solid oxide fuel cells utilize setter plates composed of or having outer surfaces composed of materials unreactive with species found in the layers of the cell.
Claims25
-19. (canceled)
A sintered layered structure fabricated according to a method comprising:
- providing a layered structure comprising (i) a ceramic anode and (ii) a solid electrolyte laver disposed over the anode:
- disposing the layered structure on a first setter plate having a top surface (i) in contact with the anode and (ii) comprising ceria and/or doped ceria;
- sintering the layered structure;
- and
- separating substantially the entire layered structure from the first setter plate.
