Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing an electrolyte-filled cathode of a molten carbonate fuel cell, comprising the steps of: a) manufacturing an air electrode through a sintering process; b) dispersing electrolyte powder throughout one surface of the air electrode according to a composition of eutectics; c) attaching the electrolyte powder, uniformly dispersed throughout the one surface of the air electrode, to the air electrode using pressure by pressing the electrolyte powder on the air electrode at a predetermined pressure; and d) filling the air electrode with the electrolyte powder, attached to the air electrode, through heat treatment, wherein the step b) comprises the step of: b1) securing the air electrode using a graphite support plate, which allows the air electrode to be placed thereon, and a graphite jig, which vertically and continuously extends from two side end portions of the graphite support plate and fastens two side ends of the air electrode, so as to secure the air electrode at a predetermined location and prevent removal of the dispersed electrolytes from the one surface of the air electrode during the dispersion of the electrolyte powder; and
