About Nickel YSZ Anode Ink (NiYSZ)

Nickel YSZAnode Ink (NiYSZ)

ProductCode: 6201627

NickelYSZ Composite Anode Ink offers good adhesion to the dense electrolyte surfacewhich can enhance your overall cell performance. This ink is made using ahigh-quality ink manufacturing processes that provide a screen printable inkfor easy incorporation into your own cell manufacturing process.

Technical Specifications:

Formulation: 66% byweight NiO and 34% by weight (Y₂O₃)_0.08(ZrO_2)0.92
Solids Loading: 73 - 77% by weight

Typical Use Guidelines:

This is a great ink for making anode catalyst layers for SOFC applications.

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

In order to establish a catalyst layer that is well-bonded to the electrolyte,anode ink applied electrolytes need to be sintered at 1300C for 1 hr(after the ink is gradually dried at 100C for 1 hr and then at 800C for 1hr).

If the intend is to make electrical connections to a current collector (mesh orwire), then the ink needs to be dried at 100C for 1 hr and then at 800C for1 hr to have good bonding with the current collector mesh or wire.

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

Optimized Viscosity and Particle Size

Engineered with a viscosity range of 10,000-20,000 cP, NiYSZ ink is suitable for several application methods and customizable based on printing needs. The submicron particle size (<1 micron) enhances the homogeneity and surface finish of the printed anode layers, which is critical for optimal electrochemical performance.

Versatile Substrate Compatibility

NiYSZ anode ink adheres efficiently to both ceramic and metallic substrates, allowing it to support a diverse array of fabrication and research environments. Its robust binding system ensures structural integrity from application through high-temperature sintering.

Safe Storage and Flexible Packaging

The ink should be stored in cool, dry, and well-ventilated areas to maintain its quality, with a shelf life ranging from 6 to 12 months when unopened. Packaging is done in sealed HDPE bottles, with options available for custom configurations, catering to varying scale and operational requirements.
