Problems solved by technology

However, most of the contribution to the battery reaction is near the surface of the electrolyte. Therefore, even if the thickness of the electrolyte is increased in this way, the performance of the battery will not be greatly improved. Increasing the thickness of the electrolyte will increase the manufacturing cost.

Abstract

A solid oxide fuel cell is disclosed which has improved problems such as vulnerability and high cost conventional planar / tubular solid oxide fuel cells involved. The solid oxide fuel cell is a membrane-free solid oxide fuel cell to which a mixture gas of a fuel gas and an oxidant gas is supplied for generation of electricity, and comprises a substrate (1), an electrolyte (3) which is arranged on one surface of the substrate (1), and at least one electrode body (E) which is composed of a fuel electrode (5) and an air electrode (7) arranged on the same surface of the electrolyte (3) at a certain distance from each other.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a fuel cell, and more specifically, to a solid oxide fuel cell that generates electricity stably in a mixed gas of fuel gas and oxidant gas. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, as element designs of solid oxide fuel cells, flat-plate type, cylindrical type, and the like have been proposed. [0003] A flat-plate battery is a battery in which a fuel electrode and an air electrode are respectively arranged on the surface and back of a plate-shaped electrolyte, and a plurality of batteries formed in this way are used in a stacked state with an interconnector (separator) . The internal connector (separator) connects individual cells in series or in parallel, and realizes the function of completely separating fuel gas and oxidant gas supplied to each cell. In addition, an air seal is provided between each cell and the separator (for example, JP-A-5-3045). However, since such a flat battery is air-sealed by applyi...
