A metallic, rigidized foil support structure (11) supports a cell (14) of a solid oxide fuel cell (10). The support structure (11) includes a separator sheet (18), a support sheet (16) having perforations (26) configured to communicate a fluid, and a porous layer (20) positioned between the separator sheet (18) and the support sheet (16). The porous layer (20) provides support and reinforcement to the support structure (11) as well as an electrical connection between the support sheet (16) and the separator sheet (18). Fuel flows through the porous layer (20). |
