Abstract
Interconnects in SOFC’s has oxidation problems which is Because of high temperature operation. Also Cr migration to cathode make chroumiom poisoning problems and all of this affects SOFC’s efficiency. To solve this problem researchers decided to use some protective coating on interconnect. The best group of coatings is Mn-Co Spinels. In this thesis (Mn,Co)3O4 spinels was synthesized via solid state reaction. MC reffered to Mn1.5Co1.5O4 was calcined at 850°C and then sintered at 1200°C. It’s electrical conductivity measured by 4-point probe DC method. It had the lowest ASR (17mΩ.cm2) among other stochiometries. To reduce the sintering temperature, Cu and Y was added as dopants. Among the...
