Patent ID: 8354202

Claim:
A fuel cell component, comprising: a ceramic component comprising an anode and a cathode; and a sealing component directly contacting at least one of the anode and the cathode, wherein the sealing component includes a first glass-ceramic layer overlying the ceramic component and a second glass-ceramic layer overlying the first glass-ceramic layer, each of the first and the second glass-ceramic layers independently including between about 0.5% and about 50% glass phase content by volume, wherein the first glass-ceramic layer includes a higher glass phase content than the second glass-ceramic layer, and between about 1% and about 5% glass stabilizer component by weight wherein the fuel cell component is a solid oxide fuel cell component, wherein the ceramic component further comprises at least one of an electrolyte and an interconnect, and wherein the sealing component further directly contacts at least two of the anode, the electrolyte, the cathode, and the interconnect.
