Mechanochemical Synthesis of Manganese Cobalt Spinel as Interconnector Protective Coating Material. First experimental findings.

In the frame of an activity oriented on the development and characterization of cells and stacks for the integration in a micro-CHP system, synthesis, formulation and optimization of manganese cobalt spinel for the deposition of protective coatings on interconnector plates have been performed. A description of the process is given. Characterization of spray coated interconnector samples and discussion of the experimental findings are reported.
