About Nickel Metal SOFC Anode Ink - 50 grams

NickelMetal SOFC Anode Ink - 50 grams

Product Code: 6201626

NickelMetal Anode Ink is an excellent contact paste for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC)testing, and is especially good for enhancing the electrical contact on theanode side of a cell during fuel cell testing. The nickel ink can also be usedas a reference electrode, but any electrical testing with the nickel paste willrequire that the sample be under a reducing gas to maintain good electricalconductivity.

Technical Specifications:

• Metal: Nickel (Ni)
• Quantity: 50 grams
• Solids Loading: 75 - 80% Nickel Metal by weight

 Typical Use Guidelines:

This is a great inkfor making electrical connections for electro chemical testing of fuel cells,ceramic substrates, electrochemical materials, and metals. This ink can also beused to form the anode catalyst layers with proper modifications (such as afteradding the YSZ in order to form ionic pathways within the anode catalyststructure, etc.).

Stirring the ink before use is highly recommended. For best results, the inkshould be stirred with a spatula or a glass rod to achieve an even consistencyprior to use.

This ink is typically fired at 1300 °C for 1 hour to ensure adhesion prior totesting at the desired test temperature (for making the catalyst layers withgood bonding to the electrolyte).

This ink is typically fired at 750°C or 850°C for 1 hour to ensure adhesionprior to testing at the desired test temperature (for making electricalconnections to the current collector screens or current collector wires).

This ink can be used for screen printing for generating electrical connectionsfor wire attachments.

 

Versatile and Effective SOFC Anode Solution

Formulated specifically for modern SOFC manufacturing, this nickel metal ink combines stable rheology with excellent adhesion on various electrolyte supports. Its proprietary binder system ensures homogenous deposition and robust mechanical integrity upon sintering, while the ultra-fine particle size enhances electrical performance. Ideal for research, prototyping, or commercial-scale production, this ink streamlines the anode fabrication process for advanced fuel cell development.


Safe Handling and Long-Term Storage

Manufactured in the United States, this product is non-toxic and emits no hazardous fumes during normal use. It offers a 12-month shelf life, provided it is stored in a sealed, dry container at temperatures between 5C and 25C. Its stability and easy clean-up, owing to its water/alcohol solvent mixture, make it a practical choice for laboratories and industrial settings alike.
