Abstract
The present invention relates to ceramic-NiO composite powders which can be used to form ceramic-NiO composite body anodes. These anodes possess an interpenetrating network structure and can be used in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) by The present invention also describes methods of preparing these powder, anodes and fuel cells.
Claims3
A method of manufacturing a ceramic-NiO composite powder with a core-shell structure, wherein said core comprises a ceramic and said shell comprises NiO, said method comprising:
- (a) milling a ceramic material, thus forming a ceramic powder;
- (b) forming a nickel-containing basic salt of Ni(OH)2 by mixing Ni(NO3)2 and NH4HCO3;
- (c) manufacturing said ceramic-Ni(OH)2 composite powder by depositing said nickel-containing basic salt on the surface of said ceramic powder;
- (d) separating said ceramic-Ni(OH)2 composite powder by filtration or ultracentrifugation;
- and
- (e) calcining the product of step (d) at 150-250° C. for about 90-150 mm thus forming the ceramic-NiO composite powder.
