The generator was composed of the MEMS air turbine and the magnetic circuit. The magnetic circuit was fabricated by multilayer magnetic ceramic technology and achieved monolithic structure which included high permeability material and three di-mensional helical conductor patterns inside. Although the output power was micro watt class, some features were extracted by comparing to the simple winding wire type magnetic circuit. In the power density measurement, almost same output power density was extracted though the turn number of the winding wire type was more than that of monolithic type. Also the resistance of the conductor was quarter of the winding type. The maximum output voltage and the maximum power of the monolithic generator was 6.2 mV and 1.92 μVA respectively. The DC conductor resistance was 1.2 Ω. The energy density was 0.046 μVA/mm3. The appearance size of the monolithic type was 3.6, 3.4, 3.5 mm, length, width and height respectively.展开更多

But interfacing components, such as ferritic stainless steel and YSZ electrolyte, may vary in their requirements regarding sealing properties, especially in terms of thermal expansion. A bilayered glass-ceramic system was developed to overcome the mismatch in coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) between ferritic steel and YSZ. Therefore, two different glass-ceramics with slightly different CTEs were developed, one with good bonding characteristics to the ferritic steel and the other to the YSZ electrolyte. Steel and electrolyte components were coated with a layer of their corresponding glass sealant paste and heated up to form a sandwich sample. During the heat treatment of the sealing process, the glasses are crystallized into glass-ceramics. The resulting interface between the two glass-ceramics is of special interest. Cross-sections of the sandwich samples were cut, polished and investigated using SEM. The glass-ceramics show continuous, gap-free layers and excellent bonding to both steel and YSZ. Energy release rates are measured for single and bilayered glass sealants by mechanical testing. The designed bilayered glass-ceramics fulfill the special requirements of ferritic steel and YSZ. They show excellent potential to become a new outstanding sealant for SOFCs.展开更多
