High power density seal-less tubular solid oxide fuel cell by means of a wide interconnection

摘要

The present invention is a solid oxide fuel cell that includes at least one flat support tube having a first side, a second side, and an outer surface and at least one interconnection (3) deposited to the full surface of the outer surface of at least one side of the tube. At least one support tube comprises a solid electrolyte layer (4) that is deposited over an outer surface of the support tube. At least a portion of the interconnect is covered with electrolyte and at least one anode (5) is applied over the electrolyte.
