One of the challenges in improving the performance and cost-effectiveness of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is the development of suitable interconnect materials. The interconnect material is in contact with both the anode and the cathode, and thus must be stable with both electrode materials and in

โฆ Synopsis
The NiCo 2 O 4 spinel coating is applied onto the surfaces of the SUS 430 ferritic stainless steel by the sol-gel process; and the coated alloy, together with the uncoated as a comparison, is cyclically oxidized in air at 800 โข C for 200 h. The oxidation behavior and oxide scale microstructure as well as the electrical property are characterized. The results indicate that the oxidation resistance is significantly enhanced by the protective coating with a parabolic rate constant of 8.1 ร 10 -15 g 2 cm -4 s -1 , while the electrical conductivity is considerably improved due to inhibited growth of resistive Cr 2 O 3 and the formation of conductive spinel phases in the oxide scale.
