METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR JOINING SOLID OXIDE FUEL CELL INTERCONNECTS AND CELLS

摘要

A solid oxide fuel cell stack comprising a first solid oxide fuel cell, a second solid oxide fuel cell, an interconnect, and a joining member. The first solid oxide fuel cell includes a cathode. The second solid oxide fuel cell includes an anode. The interconnec t is positioned between the cathode of the first solid oxide fuel cell and the anode of the second solid oxide fuel cell. The joining member joining the interconnect to at least one of the cathode of the first solid oxide fuel cell and the anode of the second solid oxide fuel cell, wherein t he joining member comprises a porous substrate. The invention likewise includes methods of manufacturing a solid oxide fuel cell stack.
