Abstract

The present specification relates to a sheet laminate for a solid oxide fuel cell, a precursor for a solid oxide fuel cell including the same, an apparatus for manufacturing a sheet laminate for a solid oxide fuel cell, and a method for manufacturing a sheet laminate for a solid oxide fuel cell.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An apparatus for manufacturing a sheet laminate for a solid oxide fuel cell, the apparatus comprising:
a coated member supplying unit;
a sheet laminate collecting unit; and
two or more coaters that coat a coating composition containing a solid oxide and a solvent on the surface of a coated member proceeding from the coated member supplying unit to the sheet laminate collecting unit to form a sheet laminate on the coated member,
wherein the two or more coaters include
a first coater that supplies a coating composition containing a first solid oxide and a first solvent to form a first sheet and
a second coater that supplies a coating composition containing a second solid oxide and a second solvent to form a second sheet on the first sheet, and
the specific gravity of the first solvent is higher than the specific gravity of the second solvent, wherein the two or more coaters further include a third coater that supplies a coating composition containing a third solid oxide and a third solvent to form a third sheet on the second sheet, and
the specific gravity of the second solvent is higher than the specific gravity of the third solvent,
wherein the two or more coaters further include a fourth coater that supplies a coating composition containing a fourth solid oxide and a fourth solvent to form a fourth sheet on the third sheet, and
the specific gravity of the third solvent is higher than the specific gravity of the fourth solvent.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first coater includes a first supplying unit that supplies the coating composition containing the first solid oxide and the first solvent to form the first sheet and a first thickness adjusting portion that adjusts a thickness of the first sheet, and
the second coater includes a second supplying unit that supplies the coating composition containing the second solid oxide and the second solvent to form the second sheet on the first sheet and a second thickness adjusting portion that adjusts a thickness of the second sheet.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the two or more coaters are spaced apart from each other on one surface of the coated member.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a difference in specific gravity between the first solvent and the second solvent is 0.05 or more and 0.3 or less.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
a drying unit positioned between the two or more coaters and the sheet laminate collecting unit.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , further comprising:
a green sheet supplying unit; and a pressing roll that presses the green sheet and the dried sheet laminate so that the green sheet supplied from the green sheet supplying unit contacts the surface of the dried sheet laminate.

7. The apparatus of claim 5 , further comprising:
a sintering unit positioned between the drying unit and the sheet laminate collecting unit.
