Abstract:

A prototypical high-temperature planar oxygen generator was developed within one year. This generator utilizes yttria stabilized zirconia electrolyte and dope lanthanum manganite as the electrodes and separator plate. Several stack 1 to 3- cell were constructed and tested. The tests demonstrated that 1 all 25 sq cm of the active area was operational, 2 the cells possessed a low area specific resistance hat improved with time, and 3 stack power consumption decreased with time without affecting oxygen output. Important accomplishments were achieved in the areas of separator plate fabrication, metallic seal development, and stack assembly and testing.
