(Mn,Cu)(3)O-4-based conductive oxides are examined as protective coatings to improve the surface stability of metallic interconnects for solid oxide fuel cells at high temperatures. Nano-sized Mn3 -aEuro parts per thousand x Cu (x) O-4 materials with various Cu contents (x = 1.0-1.5) are synthesized and a composition-structure-property relationship is experimentally determined. The Cu content (x) has a significant influence on phase stability as well as sintering, electrical, and thermal expansion characteristics. Thin and dense Mn3 -aEuro parts per thousand x Cu (x) O-4 coatings are fabricated on the interconnects (Crofer 22 APU) by a slurry coating process and subsequent heat treatment. The coated interconnects exhibit area-specific resistances as low as 7.1-15.0 m Omega cm(2) at 800 A degrees C. The electrochemical cell shows no performance degradation in the presence of the Mn3 -aEuro parts per thousand x Cu (x) O-4-coated interconnect. The results indicate that the Mn3 -aEuro parts per thousand x Cu (x) O-4 coatings act as an effective barrier to high-temperature oxidation of the metallic interconnects.
