HIGH-TEMPERATURE FUEL CELL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF CONTACTING ELEMENTS FOR SUCH A FUEL CELL SYSTEM

摘要

Disclosed is a high-temperature fuel cell system comprising individual SOFC fuel cells which are in contact with each other to be electrically connected in parallel or in series. The aim of the invention is to provide the contacting elements that are suitable for said fuel cell system with a certain flexibility in addition to electrical conductivity for continuous operation. Said aim is achieved by providing the contacting elements (200) between two fuel cells with an outer, metallically conductive jacket (202) and a ceramic core (201). Especially ceramic felts can be enveloped by a nickel net by adequately shaping the same.
