| abstract |
A solid electrolyte high temperature fuel cell is formed from a number of plate-shaped cell elements (4, 5) that are constructed with thin solid electrolytic plates (8, 10) with cathodes (12, 14) on one side and an anode (16, 18) on the other side. Located between the plates are bipolur elements (20, 22). The bipolar elements have slots (24, 26) cut into the surfaces. One set of slots (24) are used for the passage of oxygen, while the others handle the exhaust gases. ADVANTAGE - Cost effective design that is mechanically stable. |
