Solid Oxide Fuel Cells Coatings

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells Coatings – Fuel Cell Catalyst Coating Systems – Cheersonic

Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) is an electrolyte with a solid oxide oxygen ion (O2-) conductor, which serves the dual purpose of transferring O2- and separating air and fuel. Compared to other types of fuel cells, SOFC is highly adaptable and can use carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons as fuels; in addition, its electrode electrolyte material is ceramic, which can significantly reduce the cost of the fuel cell; the overall electrode structure is all solid, with low manufacturing and maintenance costs, no electrode poisoning, no leakage corrosion, and a long working life.

Cheersonic ultrasonic coating systems suitable for R & D, small and medium-sized batch production. It produce highly durable, uniform, coatings of carbon-based catalyst inks onto both fuel cell and electrolysis processes for proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers such as Nafion, without deformation of the membrane. Cheersonic’ s line of XYZ motion ultrasonic coating systems offer unique options that enable us to customize these machines based on customers’ process requirements. They are ideal for Solar and Fuel Cell manufacturing as well as research and development coatings in different environments, from fully inert to high temperature needs or rotational Z-axis for rod-shaped substrates.Due to the characteristics of controllable film thickness and high uniformity, the durability and conductivity of the film electrode can be greatly improved.

The advantages of Cheersonic ultrasonic coating systems include：

1.Very high Platinum utilization proven in MEA fabrication; as high as 90%.
2.Non-clogging
3.Low-flow spray reduces spillage and air pollution.
4.Continuous or intermittent operation possible
5.Highly porous coatings are extremely durable, preventing cracking or peeling of catalyst layer.
6.No moving parts to wear out
7.Minimal maintenance and downtime.
8.Robust design and materials resist corrosion.
