Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a structured body for an anode ( 1 ) for use in fuel cells, with the structure body comprising a structure formed by macro-pores ( 100 ) and an electrode material ( 5 ) whose macro-pores form communicating spaces which are produced by means of pore forming materials and whose electrode material includes skeleton-like or net-like connected structures of particles ( 60 , 70 ) which form two reticular systems ( 6 , 7 ) which interengage, namely a first reticular system ( 6 ) made of ceramic material and a second reticular system ( 7 ) which contains metals to bring about an electrical conductivity, and with the electrode material having the properties that, with a multiple change between oxidizing and reducing conditions, results in an oxidization or reduction of the metals of the second reticular system, and the two reticular systems together form a compact structure which contains micro-pores ( wherein the particles ( a homogeneous mixture in the form of a slurry is formed from the particles with pore forming materials and a liquid; the slurry is poured to form a layer; and the layer is sintered after removal of the liquid for connecting the particles to form the two reticular systems.
