Materials for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are being developed in laboratories all over the world. As new formulations are evaluated, it is important to know that high-quality materials can be reproduced. In a manufacturing environment where ISO 9001 certification is in place, certain procedures for formulas and processes must be followed. This starts with the initial development of any new product or process, and includes careful tracking and documentation of any changes that are made as the development progresses.
The process begins with characterization of the raw materials. Intermediates and final product properties are monitored as part of the process, and ...
