Abstract
Materials scientists at Northwestern University in Chicago have developed new inks that can be used in a single 3D printer to create the individual components of a solid oxide fuel cell: cathode, anode, electrolyte, and interconnects. According to the research team, making ceramic fuel cells with a 3D printer offers quick and easy manufacturing, and could lead to more efficient fuel cell designs. The inks are a mixture of ceramic particles that make up 70-90% of the mix, plus a binder and a cocktail of solvents that evaporate at different rates.
