Product Description
Manganese cobalt oxide spinel (Mn1.5Co1.5O4), commonly abbreviated MCO, is a mixed metal oxide used in protective coatings for metallic interconnects in solid oxide fuel cells and solid oxide electrolysis cells. These coatings help limit chromium migration and volatilization from chromium containing interconnect alloys while maintaining an electrically conductive interface. Powder composition, phase distribution, and particle characteristics influence coating formation and performance during elevated temperature operation. This composition is relevant to manufacturers developing interconnect coatings and qualifying powder feedstocks for ceramic deposition processes.
