The invention discloses ZnO-containing sealing
microcrystalline glass, and preparation and using methods thereof. The ZnO-containing sealing
microcrystalline glass comprises the following raw materials: B2O3, Al2O3, SiO2, MO (one or more of MgO, CaO, SrO and BaO) and ZnO with the
molar ratio of (0-10): (0-5): (25-60): (20-50): (5-30). As the ZnO is added, the formation of CaB2O4 crystals in the glass can be promoted, the volatilization of a B-containing substance in the sealing glass in a
working environment can be significantly reduced, and the
thermal stability of the sealing glass and the
chemical compatibility of the sealing glass with a
cathode are further improved; and simultaneously, by adding the ZnO, the formation of Ca2ZnSi2O7 crystals in the glass can also be promoted so as to be conductive to improving the
thermal expansion coefficient matching degree of the sealing glass with other SOFC (
solid oxide fuel
cell) components. The ZnO-containing sealing
microcrystalline glass disclosed by the invention has the advantages of simple preparation raw materials, easiness in obtainment of the raw materials and stable process, an invert glass grid structure taking SiO2 as a main body is obtained, the cost is low, the process is simple and feasible, and practical and industrial conditions are further achieved.
