Abstract

The study investigates how pre-oxidation conditions affect the properties of cobalt-free protective coatings for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) interconnects. Coatings were composed of commercial spinel CuMn_1.9Fe_0.1O₄, applied to Crofer 22 APU via electrophoretic deposition (EPD).

Steel samples underwent pre-oxidation at 600–850 °C in air. Pre-oxidation at 800 °C proves to be the most effective, forming a uniform oxide layer that reduced ASR by over 50 % compared to pristine steel. All coatings demonstrate consistent thickness (13–26 μm) and low porosity (11–13 %), with structural characteristics that effectively limit gas-phase transport. Following sintering, XRD studies revealed a dual-phase composition of the coatings comprising spinel (Cu,Mn)₃O₄ and bixbyite (Mn,Fe)₂O₃, which is likely to enhance Cr trapping while remaining stable electrically and mechanically. Analysis using artificial neural networks (ANN) based on ASR results confirm that pre-oxidation at 800 °C ensures mid-term stability, with minimal chromium diffusion observed after 200 h of testing at 700 °C.

期刊介绍： The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc. The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
