Mechanical and thermal characterization of a ceramic/glass composite seal for solid oxide fuel cells

Spatially resolved ultrasound diagnostics of Li-ion battery electrodes

“…It was observed that the initial charge cycle resulted in the largest degree of particle fracturing, with further cycles also causing some fracturing of the electrode. Fuel cells have also been analysed in a similar manner, with a number of authors 14,15 investigating the seals in high-temperature solid oxide fuel cells using acoustic emission spectroscopy. The performance of membranes used in polymer electrolyte fuel cells has also been examined using acoustic techniques [16][17][18] these works investigated a range of phenomena surrounding the complex physical and chemical operation of PEMFCs.…”

Platform to develop exhaust gas sensors manufactured by glass-solder-supported joining of sintered yttria-stabilized zirconia

“…As mentioned above, such a platform can be utilized to build ample different sensors. To join the two parts of the sensor, we chose a layer of joining glass, a material formulation that has been described by Dev et al (2014) and Lessing (2007).…”

Overall thermomechanical properties of layered materials for energy devices applications

“…Many energy battery devices such as lithium ions batteries and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) are characterized by multi-layered structures (Nakajo et al, 2012;Dev et al, 2014;Ellis et al, 2012). In order to develop a general approach for estimating effective thermomechanical properties of both lithium ions batteries and solid oxide fuel cells, we introduce a periodic multi-layered thermoelastic composite media reproducing the planar geometry of an idealized battery device as shown in The constituent elements of the medium are modelled as a linear thermoelastic Cauchy continuum subject to small strains.…”
