Abstract

The present specification relates to a solid oxide fuel cell and a method for manufacturing the same.

Claims (16)

1. A solid oxide fuel cell comprising:

an air electrode;

a fuel electrode; and

an electrolyte provided between the air electrode and the fuel electrode,

wherein at least one of the air electrode, the fuel electrode and the electrolyte includes a glass frit or a material derived from the glass frit, and

wherein the glass frit includes one or more types selected from the group consisting of ZnO—SiO 2 -based, ZnO—B 2 O 3 —SiO 2 -based, ZnO—B 2 O 3 —SiO 2 —Al 2 O 3 -based, Bi 2 O 3 —SiO 2 -based, Bi 2 O 3 —B 2 O 3 —SiO 2 -based, Bi 2 O 3 —B 2 O 3 —SiO 2 —Al 2 O 3 -based, Bi 2 O 3 —ZnO—B 2 O 3 —SiO 2 -based Bi 2 O 3 —ZnO—B 2 O 3 —SiO 2 —Al 2 O 3 -based and La 2 O 3 —B 2 O 3 —BaO—TiO 2 -based glass frits.

2. The solid oxide fuel cell of claim 1 , wherein the glass frit or the material derived from the glass frit is a sintering aid.

3. The solid oxide fuel cell of claim 1 , wherein the glass frit includes one or more types selected from the group consisting of SiO 2 , B 2 O 3 , Al 2 O 3 , Bi 2 O 3 , PbO, CaO, BaO, LiO, MgO, Na 2 O, K 2 O, ZnO, MnO, ZrO 2 , V 2 O 5 , P 2 O 5 , Y 2 O 3 , SrO, GaO, Se 2 O 3 , TiO 2 and La 2 O 3 .

4. The solid oxide fuel cell of claim 1 , wherein the glass frit has a glass transition temperature (Tg) of greater than or equal to 450° C. and less than or equal to 900° C.

5. The solid oxide fuel cell of claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte includes the glass frit or the material derived from the glass frit.

6. The solid oxide fuel cell of claim 5 , wherein content of the glass frit or the material derived from the glass frit is greater than or equal to 0.01% by weight and less than or equal to 10% by weight with respect to the total weight of the electrolyte.

7. The solid oxide fuel cell of claim 5 , wherein the electrolyte has a baking temperature lower by 1% to 50% compared to a state without the glass frit or the material derived from the glass frit.

8. The solid oxide fuel cell of claim 1 , wherein the material derived from the glass frit is the glass frit melted and then re-solidified.

9. The solid oxide fuel cell of claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte has porosity of greater than or equal to 0% and less than or equal to 5%.

10. The solid oxide fuel cell of claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte includes one or more types selected from the group consisting of zirconium oxide-based, cerium oxide-based, lanthanum oxide-based, titanium oxide-based and bismuth oxide-based materials.
