Problems solved by technology

[0006] The main problem of the first type of sealing structure is that during the manufacturing process of the battery stack, because the fuel gas and the oxidant gas are in a sealed environment and the pressure difference is large, the fuel gas and the oxidant gas are prone to gas crossover, resulting in More battery stack waste, which increases the manufacturing cost of the battery stack
Although the second sealing structure can overcome the possibility of high-temperature cross-gas between fuel gas and oxidant gas, in order to ensure that the oxidant gas enters the cathode of the battery, it is necessary to provide an additional oxidant gas chamber. The oxidant gas chamber is easily short-circuited with the battery stack, resulting in The battery stack does not operate stably

Abstract

The invention provides a solid oxide fuel cell stack which comprises an upper current collector, a lower current collector and a stacked structure accommodated between the upper current collector and the lower current collector, wherein the stacked structure comprises at least two connecting parts and a cell piece arranged between the two adjacent connecting parts, each connecting part comprises the anode side and the cathode side, an oxidizing gas sealing part is arranged on the anode side of each connecting part, and a fuel gas sealing part is arranged on the cathode side of each connecting part; and a closed oxidizing gas inlet channel, a closed fuel gas inlet channel, a closed fuel gas outlet channel and an open oxidizing gas outlet channel are arranged on the stacked structure. Compared with the prior art, as an oxidizing gas outlet is open, the internal gas pressure difference at the cathode sides of the connecting parts is smaller, the flow is more smooth, the problem of mutual gas moving between fuel gas and oxidizing gas can be effectively solved, the sealing reliability of the stack can be improved, and the finished product rate of the stack and the performance operation stability can be further improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a solid oxide fuel cell, in particular to a solid oxide fuel cell stack. Background technique [0002] Solid oxide fuel cell (Solid Oxide Fuel Cell, referred to as SOFC) is a third-generation fuel cell, which is an all-solid-state chemical energy that converts chemical energy stored in fuel and oxidant into electrical energy efficiently and environmentally friendly at medium and high temperatures. power generation device. Solid oxide fuel cells are broadly classified into two types: a cylindrical type in which electrodes and solid electrolytes are covered around a cylindrical surface, and a planar type in which both solid electrolytes and electrodes are formed in a planar shape. [0003] Compared with cylindrical solid oxide fuel cells, planar solid oxide fuel cells have higher power density per unit volume and are more suitable for use in mobile devices such as automobiles, so they have wider application prospects. The core ...
