DEVICE AND METHOD FOR GENERATING ELECTRICAL ENERGY

摘要

A device for generating electrical energy (22) is disclosed, having at least one electrochemical cell comprising a first and a second electrode and a solid electrolyte on which the first and the second electrode are applied. The first electrode (32) is in contact with an air-containing gas mixture (62), and the second electrode (33) is in contact with a combustion exhaust gas (60). Both electrodes (32, 33) are electrically connected to one another via an electrical energy storage unit (50) or via a generator of mechanical, chemical, or thermal energy.
