Formulation: 66% byweight NiO and 34% by weight (Y₂O₃)_0.08(ZrO_2)0.92
Solids Loading: 73 - 77% by weight

Typical Use Guidelines:

This is a great ink for making anode catalyst layers for SOFC applications.

Stirring the ink before use is highly recommended. For best results, the ink should be stirred with a spatula or a glass rod to achieve an even consistency prior to use.

In order to establish a catalyst layer that is well-bonded to the electrolyte,anode ink applied electrolytes need to be sintered at 1300°C for 1 hr(after the ink is gradually dried at 100°C for 1 hr and then at 800°C for 1hr).  

If the intend is to make electrical connections to a current collector (mesh orwire), then the ink needs to be dried at 100°C for 1 hr and then at 800°C for1 hr to have good bonding with the current collector mesh or wire.

This ink can be used for screen printing for generating electrical connections for wire attachments.
