Fabrication of sintered IDEAL-Cells by tape casting,wet powder spraying and screen printing

the realization of complete anode supported cell reproducing the ideal cell concept was approached by standard and inexpensive processes like tape casting, screen printing and wet powder spraying. Both commercial and custom powders were employed to build-up layers for button cells and larger cells. This paper reports the details of the slurries formulation as well as the deposition parameters and sintering conditions. Resulting micro structural features are also presented together with an outlook on future steps of activity.
