Cr2O3-formingferriticstainlesssteelshavebeenwidelyexploredasintermediatetemperaturesolidoxidefuelcells(SOFCs)interconnects.However,theevaporationofchromiascalemightmigratetoandpoisonthecathode,leadingtodegradationofthecellperformance.Inthisstudy,Ni-Co-Fe-Pcoatingsweredepositedontheferriticstainlesssteelbymeansofacost-effectivetechniqueofelectrolessmethod.Theyareexpectedtobeconvertedinto(Ni,Co,Fe)3O4spinelwithahighelectricalconductivityandCTEmatchwithstainlesssteel,whichcanblocktheevaporationofchromiaformedonsteelsubstrateexposedtothecathodeenvironmentoftheSOFC.TheeffectsofpH,massratioofFeSO4/(FeSO4+NiSO4+CoSO4)andtemperatureofsolutiononthedepositionrate,compositions,surfacemorphologiesandstructuresoftheNi-Co-Fe-Pcoatingswereinvestigated.TheresultsindicatedthatthedepositionrateincreasedwithincreasingpHwhenpHwaslowerthan9andthenreducedwhenpHwashigherthan9.Thedepositionrateincreasedwithincreasingtemperaturewhentemperaturewaslowerthan80℃andthendecreasedwhentemperaturewashigherthan80℃.ThedepositionratedecreasedwiththeincreaseinmassratioofFeSO4/(NiSO4+CoSO4+FeSO4).ThecoatingsconsistedofNi,Co,FeandP.Thephasestructureofthecoatingwasamorphous.
