Özet

Molten carbonated fuel cells are notable as power generation systems because of its high efficiency and relatively clean conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy. In this work, the anode electrode for molten carbonate fuel cell was synthesized. The positive effect of nickel boride as an additive in nickel anode electrode was investigated. Nickel boride was synthesized by chemical reduction with solvo-thermal route. Reduction reaction of nickel chloride hexahydrate salt with sodium borohydride was performed for nickel boride synthesis. Result of reaction, both nickel boride and hydrogen were produced and then nickel boride was put into reactor kept at 350°C for 12 hours to provide solvo-thermal conditions. Obtained nickel boride was added to green sheet. Green sheets were subjected to sintering operation to get anode electrodes. As a result of SEM analysis, average particle size for without and with additive anode electrodes were calculated as 4,4 μm and 3,4 μm respectively. According to EDAX results, atomic percent of nickel for without/with additive anode electrods were found %44,34 and %83,13 respectively.
