We are in Seventh Framework Program

Mantis is contributing to a new FP7 project from September 2012 - "T-Cell-Innovative Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Architecture based on Triode Operation". Using the nanoparticle source our team will be creating novel thin film and ultra thin film composite NiO/GDC and NiO/YSZ anode materials containing Au, Ag and Cu. This will enable a very wide range of chemical composition, particle size and morphology to be accessed. An expected merit of this approach is good control of adhesion and robustness against mechanical and thermal shock.
