Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of new energy technology, and in particular to crystalline sealing glass powder and a preparation method thereof, sealing glass, and metal-supported solid oxide fuel cells. Background Art
[0002] The sealing glass used in SOFCs (metal-supported solid oxide fuel cells) primarily consists of four types: silicate, borosilicate, aluminosilicate, and boroaluminosilicate. Borosilicate is the most promising sealing glass. However, under SOFC operating conditions, the volatilization of boron-containing substances in borosilicate glass seriously reduces the thermal stability of the glass itself. Furthermore, this volatilization can lead to the formation of numerous pores in the sealing glass, compromising the sealing material's airtightness.
[0003] Traditional glass is amorphous and is a mixture of various components, which makes it very easy for SOFC stacks sealed with traditional glass to be damaged due to the violent expansion of the sealing glass. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present application provides a crystalline sealing glass powder and a preparation method thereof, sealing glass and a metal-supported solid oxide fuel cell to solve the existing problems of volatilization of boron-containing substances and violent expansion of sealing glass.
[0005] In the first aspect, the present application provides a crystalline sealing glass powder for use in metal-supported solid oxide fuel cells, the components of which include: SiO2, B2O3, Al2O3, ZnO, light rare earth oxides and alkaline earth metal oxides.
[0006] Glass-ceramics is a new type of glass. Its principle is to adjust the composition so that the components within the glass spontaneously form crystal nuclei, thereby forming relatively uniform glass crystals. Glass-ceramics generally combine the characteristics of both glass and ceramics, and its expansion coefficient changes relatively linearly. This application uses a crystalline sealing glass powder composed of SiO2, B2O3, Al2O3, ZnO, light rare earth oxides, and alkaline earth metal oxides to form glass-ceramics.
[0007] By adding light rare earth oxides, this application effectively inhibits boron volatilization from the glass, reduces the formation of pores in the sealing glass, and improves the airtightness of the sealing glass. Simultaneously, the addition of alkaline earth metal oxides and light rare earth oxides effectively adjusts the thermal expansion coefficient and characteristic temperature, resulting in improved seal fluidity and a higher thermal expansion coefficient, ensuring that the glass has the thermal expansion coefficient and operating temperature required for solid fuel cell sealing. The crystalline sealing glass powder in this application crystallizes during the sealing process, matching the thermal expansion coefficient of other SOFC components.
[0008] Light rare earth elements (LREs) are a class of rare earth elements consisting of seven: lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, promethium, samarium, and europium. LREs are chemically active and react with many elements. They readily combine with oxygen to form stable oxides, such as lanthanum oxide (La2O3) and cerium oxide (CeO2), which exhibit excellent chemical stability.
[0009] In some embodiments, the light rare earth oxide includes at least one of La2O3, CeO2, and Nd2O3. Using at least one of the above light rare earth oxides can inhibit the volatilization of boron in the glass and improve the strength and chemical stability of the glass.
[0010] In some embodiments, the alkaline earth metal oxide includes at least one of MgO, CaO, SrO, and BaO. Using at least one of the alkaline earth metal oxides can reduce the melting temperature and viscosity of the glass and adjust the characteristic temperature and expansion coefficient of the glass.
[0011] In some embodiments, the mass ratios of SiO2, B2O3, Al2O3, ZnO, light rare earth oxide, and alkaline earth metal oxide are (5-15):(10-15):(1-8):(5-10):(30-45):(10-30). By controlling the mass ratios of the raw materials, the expansion coefficient and operating temperature of the encapsulating glass can be adjusted as needed, so that the softening temperature and sealing temperature of the encapsulating glass are as low as possible to reduce production energy consumption. At the same time, the sealing temperature of the encapsulating glass should be higher than the battery operating temperature to avoid damaging the seal. The softening temperature of the encapsulating glass should be as close as possible to the battery operating temperature but slightly higher than the battery operating temperature to avoid significant morphological changes in the sealing glass during battery stack operation.
[0012] In a second aspect, the present application provides a method for preparing a crystalline sealing glass powder, comprising the following steps:
[0013] Mixing raw materials of crystalline sealing glass powder to obtain a mixed material;
[0014] Melting the mixed materials to obtain molten glass;
[0015] The glass liquid is quenched to obtain glass;
[0016] The glass is crushed to obtain crystalline sealing glass powder.
[0017] The raw materials of the glass powder are mixed to obtain a mixture; the mixture is melted to obtain molten glass; the molten glass is quenched to obtain glass; and the glass is crushed to obtain glass powder.
[0018] In some embodiments, the mixed material is melted to obtain molten glass:
[0019] The melting temperature is 1400℃~1600℃. When the melting temperature is within this range, clear glass liquid can be obtained.
[0020] The heating rate during melting is 3°C / min~8°C / min. When the heating rate during melting is within this range, the decomposition and melting process of the glass batch material can be stabilized, thereby reducing the possibility of explosion of the raw materials.
[0021] The holding time during melting is 0.5~2h. When the holding time during melting is within this range, the decomposition and melting process of the glass batch material can be stabilized, and the probability of explosion of the raw materials can be reduced.
[0022] In some embodiments, the glass liquid is quenched to obtain the glass:
[0023] The quenching method includes either water quenching or oil quenching. The quenching method can convert the molten glass into cullet in a very short time. These quenching methods can achieve this goal at a relatively low cost; and / or,
[0024] The quenching temperature is 0°C to 30°C. When the quenching temperature is within this range, the quenching of the glass liquid can be achieved at a low cost.
[0025] In some embodiments, the glass is crushed to obtain a crystalline sealing glass powder:
[0026] The glass powder can be prepared by ball milling or air flow milling. The crystalline sealing glass powder can be obtained by finely grinding the glass slag. The above-mentioned grinding method can be used to obtain glass powder with uniform particle size distribution.
[0027] After obtaining the glass powder, it is sieved through a mesh size of 100-350. Sieving removes coarse particles. Within this mesh size range, a glass powder with a D50 of 5-15 μm can be obtained. The mesh size of the sieve refers to the particle size or coarseness of the material, defined as the number of holes per square inch. The mesh size of the sieve is inversely proportional to the pore size; that is, the higher the mesh size, the smaller the pore size on the sieve.

[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application more clear, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of this application.
[0039] The sealing glass used in SOFCs (metal-supported solid oxide fuel cells) primarily consists of four types: silicate, borosilicate, aluminosilicate, and boroaluminosilicate. Borosilicate is the most promising sealing glass. However, under SOFC operating conditions, the volatilization of boron-containing substances in borosilicate glass seriously reduces the thermal stability of the glass itself. Furthermore, this volatilization can lead to the formation of numerous pores in the sealing glass, compromising the sealing material's airtightness.
[0040] Traditional glass is amorphous, that is, it is a mixture of various components. Its thermal expansion characteristics can be seen in Figure 1, has a very significant expansion peak, and the expansion peak is in the working range of medium and high temperature SOFC (600~800℃). Since other components of the stack usually have a linear expansion mode, the SOFC stack sealed with traditional glass is very easy to be damaged by the violent expansion of the sealing glass. Microcrystalline glass is a new type of glass. Its principle is to adjust the components so that the components inside the glass spontaneously form crystal nuclei, and then form glass crystals with relatively uniform components. Microcrystalline glass usually has the characteristics of both glass and ceramics, and its expansion coefficient changes relatively linearly, such as Figure 2 However, it is currently impossible to achieve the same expansion effect of glass-ceramics as other metal and ceramic components. Furthermore, the softening and sealing temperatures must be kept as low as possible to reduce production energy consumption. Furthermore, the sealing temperature must be higher than the operating temperature to avoid damaging the seal, and the softening temperature must be as close to but slightly higher than the operating temperature. This prevents significant morphological changes in the sealing glass during battery stack operation, making SOFC packaging challenging.
[0041] In view of this, the present application provides a crystalline sealing glass powder and a preparation method thereof, sealing glass and a metal-supported solid oxide fuel cell to solve the existing problems of volatilization of boron-containing substances and violent expansion of sealing glass.

[0043] Glass-ceramics is a new type of glass. Its principle is to adjust the composition so that the components within the glass spontaneously form crystal nuclei, thereby forming relatively uniform glass crystals. Glass-ceramics generally combine the characteristics of both glass and ceramics, and its expansion coefficient changes relatively linearly. This application uses a crystalline sealing glass powder composed of SiO2, B2O3, Al2O3, ZnO, light rare earth oxides, and alkaline earth metal oxides to form glass-ceramics.
[0044] By adding light rare earth oxides, this application effectively inhibits boron volatilization from the glass, reduces the formation of pores in the sealing glass, and improves the airtightness of the sealing glass. Simultaneously, the addition of alkaline earth metal oxides and light rare earth oxides effectively adjusts the thermal expansion coefficient and characteristic temperature, resulting in improved seal fluidity and a higher thermal expansion coefficient, ensuring that the glass has the thermal expansion coefficient and operating temperature required for solid fuel cell sealing. The crystalline sealing glass powder in this application crystallizes during the sealing process, matching the thermal expansion coefficient of other SOFC components.

[0094]
[0095] From Table 1 and Figure 1 It can be seen that the softening temperature and sealing temperature of Examples 1 to 6 are significantly lower than those of the borosilicate glass in Comparative Example 1.

The sealing glass powder of the present application can achieve good melting at 1490°C.
