American Elements fuel cell anode powders, nanopowders and inks are various Nickel Cermet compositions of nickel oxide and yttria stabilized zirconia. Cermet is available as a tape cast powder, non-aqueous ink for screen printing, and spray-dried powder and several yttria doping levels. Once fired, nickel cermet will sinter to form a thin film with nanoscale well-defined necks and open gas paths to permit simultaneous gas and electronic transfer. The proportion of Nickel to YSZ reflects a trade off between stability (YSZ) and conductivity (Nickel) which must be balanced to prevent coarsening during operations and maximize the long term stability of the fuel cell. American Elements provides guidance to help customers select an anode composition compatible with the balance of their chosen electrochemical system. American Elements provides technical guidance on matching anode, cathode and electrolyte layers. Compositions can be produced under Non-Disclosure agreement. Also see the product data sheet for NIC50-I. Additional technical, research and safety (MSDS) information is available.

Nickel is a Block D, Group 4, Period 4 element. The electronic configuration is [Ar]3d84s2. In its elemental form nickel's CAS number is 7440-02-0. The nickel atom has a radius of 149.pm and it's Van der Waals radius is 163.pm. It is extensively alloyed with iron, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten and other metals produce stainless and other anti-corrosive steel and other corrosion-resistant alloys. It is highly electronically conductive and has many applications as a result. It is the basis of the nickel hydride battery. Most recently, its conductive properties have made it an ideal component for ceramic anode formulations used in oxygen generation and solid oxide fuel cell applications. Catalytic nickel is used to hydrogenate vegetable oils. Nickel additions to glass and ceramic glazes impart a bright green. It is also used in pigments for this purpose.
