Abstract In SOEC stack, several issues including high contact resistance, oxidation of interconnect surface as well as anode‘ Cr poisoning’ exist between the interconnect and anode, which can significantly result in performance degradation for the stack. In this study, the (Cu, Mn)3O4-based spinel was evaluated as the SOEC anode-side contact material. A mixture of Mn and CuO was thermally converted into the spinel layer to lower the sintering temperature and enhance the performance. A simulated interconnect/contact/anode cell was fabricated to investigate the effectiveness of the reactively-sintered contact layer on the electrical performance and chemical compatibility. The tested cell exhibited extremely stable behavior with an ASR of only 20.13—20.32 mΩ·cm2. While the Cr-rich oxide scale was effectively reduced, no obvious interdiffusion was observed between the contact layer and adjacent cell component at each interface. The (Cu, Mn)3O4 contact layer improved the electrochemical performance of the test cell, significantly reduced the contact resistance.
