Method for assembling fuel cell e.g. solid oxide fuel cell used to convert chemical energy into electricity, involves applying brazing material to bond interconnect to chemically-reduced anode-electrolyte package

摘要

The method involves forming a package of an anode (12) and an electrolyte (14). The package is chemically reduced. A brazing material (20) is applied to bond an anode interconnect (18) with a chemically-reduced anode-electrolyte package, where the brazing material is applied around a perimeter (15) of an interconnect surface (21), surrounding the anode. The interconnect is positioned in a desired location relative to the chemically-reduced package. The package with the brazing material is heated to connect the package to the interconnect through the webbing. An independent claim is also included for a fuel cell comprising an anode.
