Step 2: the raw substrate is sintered through high temperature to obtain an anode ceramic substrate (An〇de Ceramic Substrate) or anode support substrate (For example, Supp〇rted Substrate.) The raw substrate is sintered in two cycles, the first cycle is heated to 1250 C, and the second cycle is heated to 1400 ° C. There are two sintering curves in the process of the present invention, the first one being liter. The cooling rate is fixed at H/min (sintering curve A, such as As shown in FIG. 1), the other is a temperature elevation rate of ο] - 1.〇, the cooling rate is 200 924 267 Q.5 - 1 ° C (sintering curve B, as shown in the second 2 ®).

This means that the pore-forming addition can be increased. The porosity required for the substrate, while the general optimum porosity range is 15 —

However, the excessively high pore-forming index will produce a mechanical strength and production yield to the anode supporting substrate in addition to the increase in porosity. This requires special attention to the amount of pore-forming agent added. 9 - ' U f Example. Analysis of the resulting anode support substrate using a gas permeability tester. Please refer to Fig. 4, which shows the relationship between the porosity of the substrate and the gas permeability of the different pore former index, the horizontal axis represents the porosity (%), and the vertical axis represents the gas permeability (L/cm2/sec). As is apparent from Fig. 4, as the porosity increases, the gas permeability is also greatly increased, so that the gas is transported and reacted inside and outside the anode substrate. Step 1: The weight percentage of 50% NiO, 50% 8YSZ and a specific amount of pore former (graphite) is the basic material 'anode powder (Ni〇 + 8YSZ), the weight ratio is 35-80%, the pore former The weight percentage is 〇5 _ 4%, or the pore making & index is 0.5 -4. Add appropriate proportion of solvent (alcohol / butanone), dispersant (triethanolamine), plasticizer (polyethylene glycol / dibutyl phthalate) and & binder (polyvinyl butyral) 'The weight percentages are 15_25 %, j - 2 %, 2 - 3 % and 3 - 7 %, respectively. Thereafter, the mixture was uniformly mixed by ball milling for 24-48 hours to produce an anode green body by a doctor blade forming technique. Further, a laminate substrate having a thickness of 800 to 1200 μm and a size of 5 x 5 cm 2 and 10 x 10 cm 2 is produced by lamination technique. Step two: The green embryos were sintered to 125 Torr via high temperature. 〇, the heating rate is 〇.2 _ 1 C / min, the cooling rate is rc / min, and then the second stage of high temperature sintering to 1400C to increase the strength of the anode substrate, the heating rate is ο: _ 1 C / min, The cooling rate is rc/min ' (sintering curve B). Sintering can be carried out as needed, and the gas flow rate is 1 - 60 c.c. / min. After the fabrication of the above-mentioned system 200924267, the anode supporting substrate can be obtained. Step 3: Analyze the obtained anode support substrate using a porosity analyzer and a gas permeability tester. For the analysis results, refer to Figure 5. From the 5th time, 'the proper air flow rate is applied during sintering, the pores of the anode supporting substrate| is greater than 215% (volume percentage), the gas permeability is also greater than lxl〇·4 L/cm/sec, and the pore former is added. There is no significant improvement. The sixth _ shows the relationship between the 烧结 ϊ ϊ ίίί and the gas transmission rate under different sintering curves and sintering atmosphere (the red hollow circle is the sintering curve ^, and the blue working core triangle is the sintering curve Β). It can be seen from Fig. 6 that at the heating rate (sintering), the porosity of the anode-doped plate is significantly reduced, but the gas permeability of the electrode-supporting substrate can be controlled by the flow rate of the air.
