MCO Manganese Cobalt Oxide Powder, D50 0.3-0.5 μm, 1 kg | ATOMFAIR

Product Type: SOC electronic material powder
Research-grade laboratory product

Product Overview

The ATOMFAIR® Manganese Cobalt Oxide Powder is a spinel-type oxide powder with the composition Mn.₅Co.₅O₋δ, primarily used as a protective or contact layer for metallic interconnects in SOFC stacks. It exhibits a D50 of 0.3–0.5 μm, a specific surface area of 5–10 m²/g, and moisture below 1 wt.%. When applied between the cathode and the interconnect, this powder helps mitigate chromium poisoning by reacting with volatile Cr species, while also providing good electrical conduction and thermal expansion matching with steel interconnects, thereby extending stack life.

Performance Features

  • Cr poisoning protection: Forms a reactive barrier that captures volatile chromium species.

  • Good electronic conductivity: Ensures low contact resistance at the cathode-interconnect interface.

  • Thermal expansion match: Closely aligns with typical ferritic stainless steel interconnects.

  • Dense coating formation: Fine powder supports thin, uniform protective layer deposition.

The powder is sensitive to moisture and must be stored in a dry environment. Containers should be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture uptake and contamination.

  • Moisture Sensitivity: Store in a dry environment and keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture uptake and contamination.

How does the particle size and specific surface area of this MCO powder affect its performance as a protective layer for SOFC interconnects?

The D50 of 0.3–0.5 μm and specific surface area of 5–10 m²/g enable dense, thin coating formation essential for effective chromium poisoning mitigation. The fine particle size and high surface area maximize reactive sites for capturing volatile Cr species, while also supporting low contact resistance and thermal expansion matching with ferritic stainless steel interconnects.

Is this manganese cobalt oxide powder compatible with ferritic stainless steel interconnects in solid oxide fuel cell stacks?

Yes, the Mn₁.₅Co₁.₅O₄₋δ composition is specifically designed to provide thermal expansion match with typical ferritic stainless steel interconnects and good electronic conductivity. It acts as a reactive barrier that captures volatile chromium species, preventing chromium poisoning of the cathode while ensuring low contact resistance at the cathode-interconnect interface.

What storage and handling conditions are required to maintain the integrity of this MCO powder?

Store the powder in a dry environment and keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture uptake and contamination. The product specification indicates moisture content below 1 wt.%, so maintaining low humidity during storage is critical to preserve performance as a protective coating in SOFC applications.

This Mn₁.₅Co₁.₅O₄₋δ powder (D50 0.3–0.5 μm) serves as a protective and contact layer for SOFC metallic interconnects, capturing volatile chromium species while providing electrical conduction and thermal expansion compatibility with ferritic stainless steel.

Positive

  • Cr poisoning barrier: Reacts with volatile Cr species to prevent chromium poisoning of the cathode, extending SOFC stack life.
  • Thermal expansion match: Closely aligns with ferritic stainless steel interconnects, reducing thermal stress and maintaining contact integrity.

Trade-offs

  • Moisture-sensitive storage: Requires dry storage and tightly sealed containers to maintain moisture below 1 wt.% and prevent contamination.
