HIGH PERFORMANCE CERAMIC FUEL CELL INTERCONNECT WITH INTEGRATED FLOWPATHS AND METHOD FOR MAKING SAME

摘要

A method, apparatus and assembly related to solid oxide fuel cell interconnects is disclosed. In its broadest embodiment, the invention contemplates a multi- layered ceramic interconnect having integrated flow fields and electrical connections. The method of making this interconnect includes judicious selection of materials, formation of appropriate apertures for the flow fields and electrical connectors, and the joining of the layers through a firing and/or sealing process.
