Problems solved by technology

[0004] The traditional planar SOFC stack uses a monolithic cell as a unit, that is, the cathode and anode are prepared on both sides of the monolithic electrolyte, and only a single cell is formed. Theoretically, the maximum voltage of the monolithic cell is 1V. This structure makes Limited in high voltage applications
When assembling it into a battery pack, it is necessary to connect the single cells in series through the bipolar plate current collector, but the use of the bipolar plate makes the sealing effect not good
At the same time, the use of bipolar plates will also bring a series of problems: (1) The bipolar plate material is generally made of metal or ceramics. In order to achieve a certain mechanical strength, it needs sufficient thickness, which causes the bipolar plate in the SOFC stack. (2) The bipolar plate needs to effectively collect the charge of each single cell, and has very high requirements on the flatness of the single cell and the bipolar plate, which increases the processing cost; (3) The bipolar plate also bears The role of isolating oxidant gas and fuel gas requires high requirements for the design and processing of its air passage, so that the cost of bipolar plates can account for 75% of the SOFC stack
At the same time, due to the large size of the single cell, the current travel path is too long, which brings difficulties in charge collection for solid oxide fuel cells.

Embodiment 1

[0027] Embodiment 1 Rectangular monolithic electrolyte SOFC battery pack:

[0028] Such as figure 1 As shown, a rectangular monolithic electrolyte SOFC battery pack consists of an electrolyte sheet 1 , a cathode membrane 2 , an anode membrane 3 and a connecting body 4 . The shape of the electrolyte sheet 1 is rectangular, and the preferred size is 30mm×20mm. The electrolyte material of the electrolyte sheet 1 is yttrium stabilized zirconia (YSZ), which is prepared by tape casting. The shape of the cathode film 2 is rectangular, which can be determined according to the size of the electrolyte sheet 1 and the number of single cells contained in the battery pack. For example, a battery pack with 3 single cells connected in series should be prepared on the electrolyte sheet 1 of 30 mm × 20 mm. The area of ​​the cathode membrane 2 of the battery can be designed to be 14mm×6mm, the distance between adjacent cathode membranes 2 is 3mm, and the distance between the cathode membrane ...

[0036] Example 2: Circular Monolithic Electrolyte SOFC Battery Pack

[0037] Such as image 3 As shown, the main components of a circular monolithic electrolyte SOFC battery pack include an electrolyte sheet 1, a cathode membrane 2, an anode membrane 3, a connecting hole 4 and a connecting body. The shape of the electrolyte sheet is circular, and the size is Φ18×0.4mm. The electrolyte material is yttrium-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), and a single-layer cast film is prepared by tape-casting method, and 13 layers of cast film are superimposed and pressed together by isostatic pressing to obtain an electrolyte green strip. Taking the shrinkage rate (25%) into consideration, the electrolyte green body is cut and punched, and the diameter of the circular green body is Φ24mm.

[0038] The shape of the cathode film 2 is circular, the diameter is Φ6mm, the distance between adjacent cathode films 2 is 2mm, and the distance between the cathode film 2 and the electrolyte 1 is also 2mm. T...
