Abstract

An electrochemical device includes a ceramic electrode, a metallic interconnect, and a ceramic bond material that bonds the ceramic electrode and the metallic interconnect together. The ceramic material includes manganese-cobalt-oxide that is electrically conductive such that electric current can flow between the ceramic electrode and the metallic interconnect.

Claims (26)

1. An electrochemical device comprising:

a ceramic electrode;

a metallic interconnect; and

a ceramic bond material that bonds the ceramic electrode and the metallic interconnect together, the ceramic bond material comprising manganese-cobalt-oxide that is electrically conductive such that electric current can flow between the ceramic electrode and the metallic interconnect, wherein the ceramic electrode comprises strontium-doped lanthanum manganite and the metallic interconnect comprises nickel-based alloy coated with manganese cobalt ferrite with or without dopants.

2. The electrochemical device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the manganese-cobalt-oxide comprises Mn 1.5 Co 1.5 O 4 .

3. The electrochemical device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the manganese-cobalt-oxide comprises Mn 2 CoO 4 .

4. The electrochemical device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the manganese-cobalt-oxide comprises MnCo 2 O 4 .

5. The electrochemical device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the manganese-cobalt-oxide comprises Mn 2 CoO 4 and MnCo 2 O 4 .

6. The electrochemical device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the ceramic bond material includes a dopant selected from a group consisting of rare earth elements and mixtures thereof.

7. The electrochemical device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the ceramic bond material includes a ceria dopant.

8. The electrochemical device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the ceramic bond material includes a dopant selected from a group consisting of rare earth oxides and mixtures thereof.

9. The electrochemical device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the ceramic bond material includes a dopant selected from a group consisting of iron, chromium, nickel, copper, zinc, zinc oxide, and mixtures thereof.

10. The electrochemical device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the ceramic bond material is in direct contact with the ceramic electrode and the metallic interconnect.

11. An electrochemical device comprising:

a ceramic electrode;

a metallic interconnect; and

a ceramic bond material that bonds the ceramic electrode and the metallic interconnect together, the ceramic bond material comprising manganese-cobalt-oxide that is electrically conductive such that electric current can flow between the ceramic electrode and the metallic interconnect, wherein the ceramic electrode comprises strontium-doped lanthanum cobalt-doped ferrite and the metallic interconnect comprises nickel-based alloy coated with manganese cobalt ferrite with or without dopants.

12. The electrochemical device as recited in claim 11 , wherein the manganese-cobalt-oxide comprises Mn 1 . 5 Co 1.5 O 4 .

13. The electrochemical device as recited in claim 11 , wherein the manganese-cobalt-oxide comprises Mn 2 CoO 4 .

14. The electrochemical device as recited in claim 11 , wherein the manganese-cobalt-oxide comprises Mn 2 CoO 4 .

15. The electrochemical device as recited in claim 11 , wherein the manganese-cobalt-oxide comprises Mn 2 CoO 4 and MnCo 2 O 4 .

16. The electrochemical device as recited in claim 11 , wherein the ceramic bond material includes a dopant selected from a group consisting of rare earth elements and mixtures thereof.
