Applying high speed PV manufacturing technology to metal supported SOFC manufacture

该合作工业研发项目旨在将DEK在英国开发的高速光伏（PV）制造能力应用于Ceres Power的金属支撑SOFC高价值制造工艺。该项目减少了Ceres钢电池电解质系统中两个关键沉积和加热工艺的处理时间和浪费（成本）。Ceres已经验证了概念验证电解质沉积工艺，这些工艺是可重复的，并可显著节省材料。DEK在SMT和光伏制造工艺设备的开发和供应方面具有世界领先的能力，并将帮助开发这些工艺，从MRL 2/3到5/7，从而实现10秒/电池（> 100万电池/年）的原型和中试生产线能力。该项目提出了一种新的薄膜沉积形式，也是Ceres制造路线图的重要组成部分，以证明2017年的大批量生产线设计。

This collaborative industrial R&D project aims to apply high speed photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing capability developed by DEK in the UK, to Ceres Power's metal supported SOFC high value manufacturing process. This project reduces process time and waste (cost) in 2 of the key deposition and heating processes used for Ceres' Steel Cell electrolyte system. Ceres has validated proof of concept electrolyte deposition processes that are repeatable and offer significant material savings. DEK has world leading capabilities in SMT and PV manufacturing process equipment development and supply, and will help develop these processes from MRL2/3 to 5/7, resulting in the demonstration of prototype and pilot line capabilties of 10secs/cell (>1 million cells/year). This project addresses a new form of thin film deposition and a significant part of Ceres' manufacturing roadmap to prove a high volume manufacturing line design for 2017.
